Introducing My New Mindfulness Practice: Mindfulness Now
How does mindfulness help your anxiety?
Most anxiety is about fear, that is not happening in the current moment, anxiety is often fear of what might happen in the future, even perhaps a few minutes from now.
1.Learning to keep your mind in the present moment helps your anxiety to decrease.
2. When you practice mindfulness you learn to take the focus away from your fears.
3. Mindfulness can lead to you feeling calmer which helps to reduce feelings and thoughts associated with anxiety.
4. Long-term you learn to accept your anxious feelings as simply mental activity and not the truth.
With practice you start to understand your own patterns of thinking and response.
​
You learn you do not always need to respond to these thoughts and feelings.
Instead, you can observe them, accept them, and move on.
Scientific evidence supports mindfulness as an effective practice in reducing anxiety.
People who practice mindfulness regularly report a greater feeling of calm, well-being, and acceptance of life's difficulties.
​
An 8 week course of Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy showed that:-
​
-
Within just two months, mindfulness practices reduced anxiety levels by 30%, proving to be as effective as conventional medication.
-
79% of adults reported that practicing meditation and mindfulness enhanced their overall health and well-being. (source:-golemanei.com/mindfulness-statistics)
