A conversation with self-described "worry warrior" <a href="https://www.bartvanmelik.com/">Bart van Melik</a> about working skillfully with everyday anxiety. Bart is a guiding teacher at the <a href= "https://www.cmc-ny.org/">Community Meditation Center</a> in New York and our Teacher of the Month for January. In this conversation with executive producer DJ Cashmere, he gets refreshingly honest about his own tendency to worry — and shares a bunch of practical tools for when your mind won't stop spinning through worst-case scenarios. We talk about: <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> Why mindful breathing sometimes doesn't work (and what to do instead) </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> The practice phrase "this wants to be seen right now" </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> How to work with your aversion to worrying (which can be worse than the worry itself) </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> Why talking about your fears with other people is so crucial </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> The question "what is this?" as a low-barrier entry point to awareness </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> How the Buddha's teaching on clinging shows up in anxious thinking </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> Why community and sangha aren't optional extras </li> </ul> If you want more from Bart, check out the <a href= "https://app.danharris.com/membership">10% with Dan Harris app</a> where he's got meditations and live sessions throughout January.
