Fear lives in the future and draws us out of the present. This practice helps you learn how to get in touch with your emotions and stay with them and stay present. When you become aware of your fear and how it affects your body you are bringing your mind back to the present.

This is an extremely easy practice to help you get in touch with your intuition and learn how fear manifests in your body. Being mindful of your body's reaction to fear is an important first step in overcoming it. When you are experiencing intense fear it can be very difficult to start practising mindfulness. This walking meditation will help train your mind and body to relax when it is feeling fearful and give you a tool to help diffuse fear when it gets intense.

The science shows that affirmations when practiced regularly can help you rewire your negative beliefs and stressors. They help you get in touch with tough emotions like stress, fear, anxiety and depression, they help you take the action needed to manifest your intentions and dreams, help you cultivate loving-kindness, self-compassion and gratitude, and can help you overcome negative self-talk. That is a lot to offer for something that takes less than a minute to practice!

When you practice gratitude daily you are planting the seeds of habit. Eventually the habit turns to a way of life and you will be more joyful and better equipped to manage negative emotions like fear, anxiety and stress.
