How To Mindfully Manage Your Anxiety

Mindfulness has been defined as the process of bringing your attention and awareness to experiences occurring in the present moment. This process can be more difficult when what we are experiencing in the present moment is anxiety. The feeling comes in all shapes and sizes, from basic first date jitters to a full blown panic attack. It can be tempting to just want to get rid of the emotion completely since it’s so uncomfortable to feel, but attempting to avoid our anxiety can actually end up increasing it. One of best ways to combat and control anxiety is to first understand it. I want to help you understand your anxiety a little better, and hopefully help you learn how to manage it with a more mindful approach.
