The mindfulness book "30 Days to Reduce Anxiety" by Harper Daniels is good. It has 30 exercises for meditation and mindfulness.

I love it. It is so simple and it works. I will keep it in mind. Thanks for sharing 😊

I have used a very similar technique for a few years now and can attest to its usefulness. When I use it my stress, etc. always decreases. And when I don't, it always remains. Simple as that.

This one talk might, in fact, prevent me from a road rage incident. Rock on Phil.

Great video. Many thanks. The technique is simple and elegant. You have to select a physical object, name it in your mind without adding any adjectives, and inhale slowly and exhale slowly. Repeat three times. E.g." That's a pointer" / take a deep breath. "That's a stool" / take a deep breath. "That's a screen" / take a deep breath. It really calms you down in 30 seconds.

This method is both simple and effective. I try to remember to focus on my breathing, but when my emotions are strong this can be hard. With this method, I like being able to name an object that I can see and touch, then to breathe in and out. Once I take those three breaths, it is then easier to continue to watch the in and out of my breaths. Thank you Phil.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this subject

Have not used the 3x3 yet. Will try, sounds good and practical. It is part of my life to pause, focus and breathe with attention the moment stress, crisis or panic occurs around or within me. Don't have to think about it. I made it part of "how I tick". Because it works immediately!

Thanks Phil, I am a Mom of 5 kids and one has multiple diagnoses. When you said pick a stressful situation that happened alot the first thing I thought was going to 1 of his multiple dr for a visit. (Which is happening tomorrow.) I am going to apply this technique and pray it brings focus and relief. Thanks.

This is a great technique. I feel calm and focused every time I use it. Thank you Phil :)

Learning to meditate and being disciplined in its practice has made me whole- at home with me.

"Most of us tend to pump the brakes when we think about sequestering a small amount of time or a quiet space for mindfulnessz"...

There are people who enjoy boasting about themselves, gloating with pride. They want to intimidate others by showing off their achievements and this is how they feel a sense of stability. However, if you show those people that you do not give much care about what they say, their inner anxiety rises. It is your calmness that rather intimidates them. Personally, I experienced a person who would endlessly boast of his accomplishments. If I didn’t show the right reactions, the person would try to pick up a fight or would be discouraged from talking any further. He would start out by saying “I’ve been earning … just this week!” Or sometimes, he would suddenly be glum and wouldn’t continue the conversation. To him, I was a person who should be envious of him and see him as a role model. It is better to keep a social distance from these types of people. They will do their best to hear what they want to hear from you. They may get angry at you, or may try to logically persuade you. They may try to get your empathy by acting upset, or may bluff to make you jealous. How do I know this so well? I was one of them. I was considered to be comparatively more successful in a few aspects compared to people of my age. Honestly, I think I got lucky, but back then, I just enjoyed being a show-off.

It’s effective. Thank You.

Amazing technique, but there is one technique that I use and it works for me all the time. I stop talking in my mind. Thinking stops automatically when we stop saying words in mind after that there are only mute images which disappear automatically because there is no sound in that image. Hence, the thought doesn't go further and create thought chain. Give it a try and see the results.

I didn't really get how many repetitions should be done for each object. He says "say the name, make one deep breath, THEN repeat 3 times for each object. Does the word THEN mean we're gonna have to do it 4 times altogether? Or the first time counts too, so it is 3 times including the first repetition? Will be very thankful to receive a reply. ,:-)

mindfulness is a poor translation of anapanasati, more meaningful if we see it as introspection of breathing. the point is to relax and calm body mind. all this concentration on objects can lead to headaches. in fact the word concentration is translation of samadhi which really means harmony.
