Trying to avoid anxiety by distracting ourselves doesn’t get rid of it. It’s like trying to clean your dirty dishes by adding more food to them. We need to acknowledge the anxiety, accept it and experience it. And then, knowing that we don’t have to keep on experiencing it and be under its influence, we can apply the antidote. Recognize what it is we’re attached to, and work with the attachment that is causing anxiety.

The best part about meditation is that you’re never doing it wrong. Just turn within and watch. Feel your body and breath. Watch your mind do it’s thing and return to the body and breath as an anchor. Gently focus and begin again. That’s it. Forever. The more time you spend as the ‘watcher’ the more you HAVE experiences instead of BE experiences.
