00:00:00,390 --> 00:00:08,670
Be mindfulness, mindfulness, provide several ways to manage your fears through both the present focus

2
00:00:08,670 --> 00:00:13,890
and acceptance components of the practice, train the breath.

3
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:20,700
Our breath is closely connected to our anxiety, slow and even when we're at ease, fast and sharp,

4
00:00:20,700 --> 00:00:21,740
when we are afraid.

5
00:00:22,140 --> 00:00:28,230
You can feel the contrast right now by first taking a series of deep breaths in and out.

6
00:00:29,250 --> 00:00:33,690
Notice how you feel, then breathe in slowly and out even more slowly.

7
00:00:33,690 --> 00:00:34,830
Feel the difference.

8
00:00:35,070 --> 00:00:42,240
When we're an anxious, we often aren't even aware that our breathing is mirroring our anxiety.

9
00:00:47,660 --> 00:00:53,060
Once we become more aware of the quality of our breath, we can practice more relaxing, the breathing,

10
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:58,960
breathing gently for a count of to exhale slowly to account.

11
00:00:59,010 --> 00:01:07,520
Five those after you exhale for a three count repeat from step one for five to 10 minutes, one to two

12
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:08,450
times per day.

13
00:01:08,810 --> 00:01:13,670
These periods of focused attention on the breath will make it easier to practice.

14
00:01:13,670 --> 00:01:17,000
Relax breathing when you need it most.

15
00:01:17,420 --> 00:01:20,510
When you feel your anxiety, start to increase practice.

16
00:01:20,510 --> 00:01:29,090
Coming back to the breath, focus on the present and anxiety grabs our attention and pulls it into the

17
00:01:29,090 --> 00:01:29,750
future.

18
00:01:29,750 --> 00:01:33,530
With the practice, we can train the mind to come back to the present.

19
00:01:33,980 --> 00:01:43,460
As we disengage from future oriented fears, we allow anxieties great to lose and use your senses to

20
00:01:43,460 --> 00:01:49,190
bring you into the moment, really paying attention to what you see, feel and so forth.

21
00:01:49,700 --> 00:01:55,430
Keep in mind that there is no need to brush away your anxiety, which doesn't work anyway.

22
00:01:55,790 --> 00:02:02,900
Just bring your awareness to your immediate experience and bring it and bring it back when it wanders

23
00:02:03,140 --> 00:02:04,040
to your worries.
