from Radio Headspace Hosted by Headspace Studios
When Dora noticed herself getting frustrated during meditation, her first instinct was to fix the problem. But the more she judged herself for being distracted, the further she got from understanding what she needed.

The answer was simple and human: tiredness, anxiety, a full life. Next time you're caught in self-criticism, can you pause and ask what you were feeling before the judgment showed up?
