Managing anticipation with mindfulness and meditation

Anticipation and high energy on Mondays are common, but if not managed properly, they can become overwhelming. Mindfulness and meditation can help with this. Taking a pause and being gentle with oneself is the first step. Deep breaths can activate the parasympathetic nervous system, calming the body. Leaning on meditation practice and acknowledging and embracing emotions, then shifting attention to an anchor point like the breath, can reduce the intensity of emotions. Mindfulness and meditation should be seen as a lifestyle practice, to be used whenever needed.
