Hello and welcome to episode 264 of The Mindful Kind podcast.
In this episode, I'm really excited to share some simple steps to help you train your brain to worry less. As someone who is prone to excessive worrying and stress, I've found these steps to be effective - especially given some time and consistent practice.
Here are the steps:
1: Give yourself permission to let go of worries, rather than holding onto them
2: Practice becoming aware of unnecessary worrying (tip: learn about your worrying habits to make this easier!)
3: Implement mindfulness techniques to bring your mind back to the present moment. This step is key - over time, you can train your brain to let go of worries faster and return to the present moment more often.
