Most of us have a hectic pace of life, and it seems like we’re always struggling to balance work, school, relationships, family, and social life. The days can fly by in a blur, and the anxiety can kick up because we are constantly worrying and stressed. Since mindfulness is all about truly existing in the present moment and accepting thoughts, feelings, and sensations as they arise, it’s an effective technique in managing stress and anxiety at home and at work. So much of anxiety is rooted in the past (I wish I could change this past event) or the future (what if this negative situation or outcome occurs), and mindfulness helps to ground you in the present moment.
