Embracing the present moment is a powerful tool against anxiety from "summary" of Unwinding Anxiety by Judson Brewer
The present moment can be a powerful antidote to anxiety. When we are fully present, we are not worrying about the future or ruminating about the past. We are simply here, now, in this moment. This can help to break the cycle of anxious thoughts that often plague us. One way to embrace the present moment is through mindfulness practices. By focusing on our breath, bodily sensations, or the sights and sounds around us, we can anchor ourselves in the here and now. This can help to calm the anxious mind and bring a sense of peace and clarity. Another way to stay present is to notice when our minds start to wander into anxious territory. Instead of getting caught up in the spiral of worry, we can gently bring our attention back to the present moment. This can help us to see that anxiety is often based on hypothetical scenarios that may never come to pass. When we learn to embrace the present moment, we can also cultivate a sense of acceptance. Instead of trying to push away or avoid uncomfortable feelings, we can acknowledge them with compassion and curiosity. This can help us to break free from the grip of anxiety and develop a more balanced and resilient mindset.- Embracing the present moment is a practice that takes time and effort. It requires patience and persistence to stay present, especially when anxiety is running high. But with continued practice, we can learn to use the present moment as a powerful tool against anxiety, finding peace and clarity in the here and now.
