Welcome to the Anxiety Coaches

Coaches podcast, a relaxing and informative show where we explore anxiety, panic and PTSD sharing how you can overcome them for life.

Oh, loa, welcome back to the Anxiety Coaches Podcast. In today's episode, I want to bring to you a meditation of sorts, a guided reflection time of closing out the year.

This is the last podcast for 2018 and I wanted to do a new

year's kind of meditation and contemplation. What we often do is make resolutions or goals and we plan forward very easily and I thought maybe we could also take some time to look back.

I often talk about looking back to see how far you have come because this can really keep you floating during the difficult times

when you are having some amped up anxiety or some stressful days that may became a little more often than you

cared for.

Don't be discouraged.

Take heart and use this meditation as a way to remind yourself of where you have come from.

So let's begin by getting comfortable.

Yeah, if you're in your chair, snuggle in a little bit, get your feet flat on the floor. There's no real formal way to sit

for this type of a guided contemplation or meditation, but you want to be comfortable but you also want to be

alert. So if you're cozied in on the couch that's great. Just be sure to keep

yourself alert.

Close your eyes if you're in a comfortable place to do that.

And bring awareness to your body.

Let your awareness come to your breath, to your muscles,

let the muscles relax, Let your breath simply deepen and slow and bring some attention to the body starting with the feet.

Just feel them grounded below you.

Feel your place in this time, in this moment, on this planet and feel the fabric against your skin of your clothing. senses to inhabit the present moment.

Use your senses to inhabit the present moment.
