Ep. 16 - Use the Power of AWE to Reduce Anxiety

Does your anxiety make mindfulness and meditation feel impossible?! 

I get it! 

I actually didn’t have a consistent meditation practice like I do now until I had eliminated my generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder. Only then was I able to really get into meditation.

The benefits of mindfulness and meditation are well-documented at this point, no one can argue that, but it’s not accessible to everyone. Many busy parents and busy professionals struggle to find the time for a daily 20 minute meditation and for those with anxiety and instructive thoughts even the thought of meditating is painful or just impossible.

What if I told you there was a clinically proven alternative and will take you way less time?! Less than 1 minute a day to be exact!! 

On today’s episode, I’m thrilled to introduce you to Dr. Michael Amster, who along with his co-author Jake Eagle, wrote the book THE POWER OF AWE: Overcome Burnout & Anxiety, Ease Chronic Pain, Find Clarity & Purpose—In Less Than 1 Minute Per Day!

What Michael and Jake have done is create this “microdose” version of a mindfulness practice which is truly accessible to everyone and will help you reduce your stress, anxiety, inflammation, and so much more!
