Mindfulness Will NOT Solve Anxiety

Ahh Mindfulness. Calming your mind. THE current go-to method for dealing with anxiety. It changes lives, and is being taught e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e. Shoot me if you must then… But… What if I were to tell you: it’s the worst thing you can practice to resolve anxiety and other emotional health issues. Gulp! Now, why would I ever challenge this, you may wonder? Clinical trials have unanimously concluded that mindfulness reduces anxiety. It’s a slam dunk, in fact. To understand why, please watch this third video in my series questioning current ‘treatments’ for anxiety, depression, PTSD and more. But I have a bit more to say about it here. I challenge this, for three reasons: 1. Many avid practitioners claim they need mindfulness to function. Some even sit 2, 3, or 5 times a day, citing if they take a single day off, their emotional issue returns. Take a week off, it comes back stronger than ever. Which shows us this practice, alas, while great today…doesn’t offer a permanent solution. 2. Which can be problematic, because it gets us functioning well enough that we don’t bother to locate and resolve the primary cause of the anxiety, that exists in the first place. Kind of like; imagine you have a fork sticking out of your chest. Mindfulness makes you feel better, yet also succeeds in helping you ignore the fork, maybe for years. While over time, that fork starts to cause worsening physical damage and other issues. As for the last reason: 3. Mindfulness is a beautiful practice, with a rich history. By using it as treatment for our emotional health crisis, it cheapens it and takes us sadly away from its original intention. You can learn more about all this, plus what to do to get off that (albeit, lovely) treadmill to nowhere and instead finally remove that fork, in my short video. Prepare to be pleasantly surprised, by the ending. Visit Kristen Ulmer's website: http://www.kristenulmer.com Follow Kristen Ulmer @: Facebook:   / ulmer.kristen   Instagram:   / kristen.ulmer
