Welcome to a 4-part series that I'm doing through The Transforming Anxiety Podcast feed called: Mindfulness Monday.
Each Monday from August 8 - August 29 we're going to explore a different aspect of mindfulness meditation. By now, no doubt you've heard about the benefits of meditation. Maybe you've tried it yourself, but it hasn't stuck...or maybe you're not sure where to start.
Whatever your experience so far with meditation, you're *here* because you want to find relief from anxiety. And I've heard from many of you that you're looking for a way in with meditation. A way to practice. Some more of the "how and why" behind meditation...and practical ways this approach could support you on your path out of anxiety.
These short podcast episodes will give you:
An overview of mindfulness meditation (what is it?)
What to expect with a meditation practice (why do it?)
How meditation supports those of us who tend towards anxiety (will this help me?)
This week we're going to be taking a look at practice. Cuz here's the truth: the benefits of ANY of this work don't come without practice. We have to show up and regularly practice being kind, showing compassion, being present, having awareness, and being mindful in general.
Just like if you were learning a foreign language or learning to play an instrument, you'd practice. Just like great athletes, it takes repetition and consistency. Just like with our relationships and routines and health and finances...we keep showing up, day after day, practicing. Yeah?
So let's talk about practice today. How this plays into mindfulness and meditation and what the heck this all has to do with anxiety, sound good?
