Exploring Difficulty Meditation

This meditation encourages you to address scenarios that unnerve you and gently notice the sensations that arise in the body. We recommend practicing both as much as you can when you are not stressed but also try it when you are experiencing difficulties and see how it makes you feel. This one may take some practice.

By turning towards negative situations with this psychological tool, you may find this beneficial for dealing with stress rather than over-analyzing difficult, uncertain situations.
