Cynthia Coufal | Teen Anxiety Coach | School Counselor | Parent Advocate | Help for Anxiety

In this episode, I delve into powerful techniques for managing anxiety through mindfulness. Building upon our previous discussions on the two screens of the mind, we explore how to anchor ourselves to the serene front screen and navigate away from the chaotic side screen.

Key Points:

  1. Understanding Mindfulness:
    • Recap of the concept of mindfulness as paying attention to the present moment without judgment.
    • Introduction to the front screen and side screen analogy.
  2. Techniques for Staying Present:
    • Breath Awareness: Detailed instructions on practicing breath awareness, focusing on the sensation of breathing and counting breaths.
    • Mindful Activities: Suggestions for incorporating mindfulness into daily activities, such as brushing teeth or listening in class.
    • Grounding Exercises: Step-by-step guidance on grounding techniques involving all five senses to anchor oneself in the present moment.
