Hi there, it's Eve here.
Welcome to Radio Headspace and to Wednesday.
So, it's the middle of a busy week.
I thought it'd be nice to start with a quick grounding exercise.
So often we're doing multiple things at once.
So for the next few moments, see if you can be fully here and present.
So keeping your eyes open, notice what you can see around you.
What shapes, colours do you notice?
Then listen to what you can hear.
Sounds are all around us.
And now feel your feet on the ground, your body supported.
And then take a slower, deeper breath, breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth.
And see if you can allow the body to soften and to release any tension you might be holding.
Thank you for doing that with me.
So we live in a world where there are a lot of different opinions.
I mean,
you just have to go on social media or watch the news to see quite how many differing opinions there are in the world.
And I want to start by saying that it's actually good to have different opinions.
It's healthy.
But what's not okay is when people try to force their opinions onto you or convince you that you're wrong for what you believe in.
