Many of my clients find themselves dealing with anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, and a general frustration with trying to slow their brain down.
They share how the above list interferes with family time, weekends, productivity, and steals peace of mind. A brain that never stops is exhausting. It is also a nemesis that leaves us often feeling stuck in our attempts to find a solution.
One resource I personally use and many of my clients find helpful comes in the form of an app called Headspace. Headspace offers guided mindfulness exercises that typically last about 10 minutes each. If you use the free version, you will have unlimited access to 10 guided mindfulness exercises. Let the guide (Andy), do all the work, and you get to simply relax and get lost in a journey of breathing, relaxing, and re-centering.
I hope this resource can not only be helpful for you, but also add some tools to your belt that you can use throughout the week to check-in with yourself, slow down, and refocus. The whole idea is getting our mind and body back to the present moment. Our entire life is composed of present moments. I find many of us spend more time in the unpredictable future and the unchangeable past than being here, now.
Join myself, and a number of my clients in this journey and let me know what you think of it. I wish you the best this Friday and hope this weekend will be filled with you living fully in each moment. Moments are all we get!
