Experiencing a sense of wonder in the face of beauty.
Dr. Margaret Chisolm, Johns Hopkins Medicine
I center the now intentionally. Notice a curl in my daughter’s hair, a freckle beneath my son’s eyebrow, the way my dog curls and rests so peacefully, the way the wind feels, the air smells, the trees rustle. When I do this it helps me be here despite the worry of what is to come.
Dr. Mariah Robertson, Johns Hopkins Medicine
I manage anxiety with mindful breathing/meditation. When I focus on my breath, I become distracted from the story I’m telling myself
Kimberly Williams, Admin Specialist, Johns Hopkins Medicine
I exercise with earphones listening to some Grateful Dead or Neil Young.
