With tons of packs on Headspace, you’ll have access to hundreds of meditations on everything from stress to anxiety to sleep and focus. Headspace is a guided-meditation app that helps you build healthier relationships with people you love and help you find calm during meltdown moments.

Or that an app like this would actually work since we periodically check our phones and always have our phones on or near us. Offline has become the new luxury that not many people indulge in.

But we will live most of our lives, and prosper (or not) in a world run and remade by our peers” (Dobbs 4).

    Social mores are those unwritten rules that dictate how we act in public. They are the things that irritate the general public, like when a person is walking on the “wrong side” of the sidewalk.

In a similar fashion, attempting to go against the socially expected behaviors for one’s gender is uncomfortable to the point of avoidance.
