JAM (Just A Moment): Worry

Just A Moment (JAM) are bite-sized episodes with thoughts or practices that aren't quite big enough to ride the full episode ride. The insights shared in these little JAMs are meant to bring more mindfulness and self-compassion to your life. 

 

This JAM is all about worry. How do we treat that little (or big) part of ourself that clings to worry with all their might? Worry isn't just an abstract THING somewhere out there. It's a feeling experienced by a part of ourselves. We often want to kick those feelings to the curb, because who wants to feel worry (or anger or fear or anxiousness), but we don't realize that we are effectively telling part of our very self, "You're not welcome here." This JAM will help you exercise compassion toward that part of yourself with a simple visualization and an awareness of how we talk to those "unlovely" parts of ourselves.
