Meditation.
The goal of meditation is not to force the mind into stillness. It is to simply witness the mind and gently return it to breath. Meditation trains awareness and it helps you gain a different perspective.
Remember – meditation is not about turning off your thoughts and feelings – its more about learning to observe and feel them without judgement.
One of the key components of THE MEGA SELF program is having a toolbox of strategies to reset the stress response in your body. Meditation is a tool to support you to move out of overwhelm and feelings of anxiety. A way of training your brain to come back to the now moment.
