1. Anxiety is from living in the thoughts too much, by relaxing and moving into your body and feeling it instead thinking only does help. However chronic anxiety is a coping mechanism learned that if your in your head you can’t actually feel the emotions that we like to run away from, as we become adults it becomes learned helplessness. By being mindful we can feel and we can act accordingly to what is needed. Eg in an uncomfortable situation if you feel anxiety, you can breathe into the uncomfortable situation before the anxiety takes over and respond with saying this makes me feel uncomfortable please stop or I am leaving now. You have the power to leave most situations and not have to live with anxiety.

3. Mindfulness simply means being present ! It is something i struggled with for so long … it doesn’t matter if what you’re ruminating on is positive or negative in the long run it causes you a lot of unhappiness and stress regardless 😊 Being mindful and focused should be taught to every child because even the ones that struggle (like me with OCD/adhd) it can still always improve with practice !

4. Why won’t this people get out of my technology? Did I stand up or did the world stand out? I think it was the world. Please get out of my technology with this hate speech you’re invading my privacy as well as my Civil Rights. These are laws passed to Congress. I have been going through this too many years I am feeling trauma. The American people need to know AT&T is a supporter of proven totalitarianism without a claim, or a subpoena.

5. I wanted to listen. To this video but my worries kept me from focusing on the instructions

7. This "body scan" technique is an ancient yoga technique as is mindfulness. It is normally done in shavasana. The scan is done from toes to head and back with focus on breathing, thoughts and relaxation.

8. i am asian .I recommend simple meditation .
   
   Sit in the position that is most comfortable for you. Do not sit in a semi-asleep position. Sit in a quiet place. Not hot, not cold, not hungry, not sleepy. Then close your eyes. Breathe in and out slowly, naturally, without straining. Put your hands on your lower abdomen. and try to feel your stomach stretch out. (This process may take several days.) Next, put your feelings on your breath. Take a deep breath and feel it. Breathe out and feel it. Just do this. Peace of mind, stress, pressure, ADHD. will alleviate in not using..

9. No but isn't it telling us to escape the reality and forget the important tasks we were stressing or overthinking about?????😭😭😭😭😭

17. This has never worked for me unless I was in a relatively easy time in my life. I don't even logically understand how it would work. If I'm in a lot of physical and mental pain, distracting myself from the pain works better and logically makes sense. Literally laying there focusing on the pain just makes me feel like I'm drowning. I've had panic attacks and anger attacks trying this. I get filled with cortisol and snap. My heart rate rises, it gets harder to breath. It's a powerful biological instinct to fight or flight when you're under a lot of stress. Laying still gives you a sense of overwhelming vulnerability unless you're under very mild stress. And I think most of the studies on this have likely been done on people with mild stress or depression but they think it's severe because of the soft world we live in. Most people never experience severe stress and I doubt very seriously this would work unless you're some type of monk who trained for 15 years to do it. But monks have no stress anyway because they live simple lives that purposely cut out stress.

18. Now we know how Orange Cassidy from AEW became so calm. /s
