Plus: The look every man should try this summer and how The National became the world’s most influential band
 |  | | For Eve Lewis Prieto, Headspace’s director of teaching and mindfulness, happiness isn’t some empty-headed state of enlightenment. It’s a muscle that she has to exercise every day. The 41-year-old once suffered from anxiety as a result of a bad relationship, thousands of pounds’ worth of debt, and working three jobs, but climbed her way out of the negativity rabbit hole using techniques such as meditation.
“You don’t expect to go to the gym and do one workout and say, ‘I’m done,’” she says. “You have to continue to train the muscles, and our mental wellbeing is the same.” Find out how to train your happiness muscle.
Plus, discover why “coastal grandad” is the look every man should try this summer and read how The National became the world’s most influential band.
