Elizabeth Cush on Practicing Winter Mindfulness
If your anxiety didn’t disappear with the New Year, this episode of Woman Worriers is for you. Hosts Elizabeth Cush talks about how mindfulness can help you get through the winter.
“How can we feel more grounded and present in our lives through the rest of the winter?”
Show Notes:
The days are shorter and, for many of us, much colder. The arrival of new vaccines offers hope that the COVID-19 pandemic that threatens health and the economy around the world will be controlled, but that hasn’t happened yet. Many of us are still having limited social interactions. Many people are not working, or working limited hours. Others—like healthcare providers and supply chain labor—are working long hours in stressful conditions. In the wake of an attempt to take over the United States Capitol on January 6, political violence in has left Americans shocked and shaken. So if you’re feeling anxiety, it’s no wonder. In this week’s episode of the Woman Worriers podcast, host Elizabeth Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist and founder of Progression Counseling in Annapolis, Md., talks about how we can use a mindfulness practice to help us feel more grounded and present in our lives the rest of the winter. She also offers tips and five simple mindfulness practices—including one that you can do in one minute—to get away from worrying about all the uncertainty about the future and experience the present moment.
