Instead of trying to get rid of anxiety and stress, we can change our relationship to them. Mindfulness practice grounds us. Our drama-of-the-moment becomes thoughts and feelings that come and go as we navigate back to now . Awareness wakes us up from automatic pilot, and the mental fog begins to lift. Damaging self-talk begins to lose its authority, and anxiety and stress become less dire and more textured; we can work with them. Mindfulness instructor Andrew Safer presents meditation, pausing, loving-kindness, and mindfulness-in-everyday-life activities using vivid examples. Anxiety, Stress & Mindfulness is based on the "Navigating Anxiety and Stress through Mindfulness" workshop series he has been conducting since 2013.
