Mindfulness is a simple concept that generates a variety of impressions among my patients. Some take to it immediately, some struggle with it until it feels natural, others give it a try and lose interest before they reap its benefit.
Ever find yourself overwhelmed by worries or constantly caught up in what-ifs? This episode of Recovery Road might just have the answers you're looking for. Harvard Medical School professor Dr. Luana Marques and clinical psychologist Eric Metcalf join the hosts at Hazelden Publishing to break down mindfulness and its benefits for managing anxiety and depression. Mindfulness isn't about emptying your mind; it's about paying attention to the present moment without judgment. Sounds simple, right?
But for many, it's a skill that takes time to develop. Dr. Marques and Metcalf share practical tips to help you get started or deepen your practice.

If you've ever felt like mindfulness just isn't working for you, this episode offers troubleshooting techniques to help you find your groove.
Whether you're a newbie or a seasoned practitioner, you'll walk away with actionable advice to make mindfulness a part of your daily routine. Tune in to learn how staying present can bring more calm and joy into your life, even amidst chaos.
