  • Sit quietly every day to build a consistent meditation practice and process intense emotions in a healthy way.

  • Focus on compassion for yourself when things don’t go as planned. Reframe setbacks as part of the learning process.

  • Explore other mindfulness practices, like yoga or deep breathing, to enhance your ability to manage anxiety under stress.

  • Seek guidance from mental health professionals if anxiety becomes overwhelming or impacts areas of your life beyond performing.

  • Use the transcript of our guided meditations to follow along and deepen your awareness of the techniques we teach.

  • Accept where you are now, and view each meditation as a step toward building your confidence, health, and success.
