Headspace is an app to assist on the journey towards a more balanced mind. Meditation will not solve your problems, but it will make objectivity and your experience of reality more enjoyable.

From what I gather, one trains the mind to make catastrophes bobble like a buoy in the ocean instead of flail, howl, struggle and sink like a mafia member tied to a brick. You are still in the ocean, but you'll keep afloat. I tried the free 10 day trial first, decided to take the plunge!

Day 12 on meditating: Why I overwhelmed by negativity although I am surrounded by positive outcomes? See: Spoiled woman crying at the gym after purchasing a meditation app.

Thinking about meditating....is that meta-tating?
