If you\\u2019ve been listening to the podcast this week, you probably heard that we\\u2019re in the midst of a 3-week series on health and fitness \\u2013 what we\\u2019re calling Get Fit Sanely. To state the obvious, one of the hardest parts of getting fit is to make and break habits. 

In conjunction with this series, we\\u2019re doing something cool over on the Ten Percent Happier app: we\\u2019re bringing back our Healthy Habits challenge, a 7-day course that pairs behavior change expert Kelly McGonigal and meditation teacher Alexis Santos. Each day, you\\u2019ll hear a short conversation with Dr. McGonigal about how to actually change habits in a beneficial way, without beating yourself up, followed by a meditation from Alexis that helps bring mindfulness to the whole endeavor. If you\\u2019re an app subscriber, you can check out the course anytime, but what\\u2019s really helpful is to do it with other people. 

The Healthy Habits Challenge kicks off in the Ten Percent Happier app on Monday, June 19. To join the Healthy Habits Challenge, just download the Ten Percent Happier app wherever you get your apps or by visiting tenpercent.com (all one word, spelled out). If you already have the app, just open it up and follow the instructions to join!

And if you\\u2019re not already a Ten Percent Happier subscriber, you can join us by starting a free trial that\\u2019ll give you access to the challenge along with our entire app.

And for today\\u2019s bonus meditation, we\\u2019re sharing one of the meditations that Alexis contributed to the challenge. It\\u2019ll help you get in the right frame of mind to start making a small, effective, doable change. We\\u2019ll be sharing more of these meditations from Alexis over the next couple of weeks as well. 

Alexis has practiced and taught Insight Meditation in both the East and West since 2001. Alexis has completed the Spirit Rock/IMS Teacher Training, teaches retreats across the globe, and currently lives in Portland, Maine.
