Dr. Amy Fuller's insight:
When I look back at own life and mark the heights of personal growth, I notice a pattern of growth being accompanied by challenges, failure, or loss. Of course there are those struggles that have not yet produced the fruit of growth. I’m curious about how these particular difficulties that did produce growth differ from those that have not yet yielded growth. It turns out that this phenomenon (growth through how one responds to difficulty) is identified as a key component to long-range happiness in a longitudinal study of 268 men who were at Harvard together in the 1940s.

Meditating is one of the most beneficial strategies for reducing anxiety. Personally, I used to be haunted by the thought of meditation, it seemed like such a huge and difficult thing to do. But it all starts in rhythmic breathing, slowing down your anxious thoughts, and grounding yourself to be present. Walking and meditation go hand in hand. Walking is grounding in itself, and taking in your surroundings helps you forget where you mind is going. Practicing breathing while being in the fresh air is as mindful as it can get.
