• It has allowed me to explore anxiety and in a very paradoxical way because I don't judge my anxiety.  When I noticed anxiety, I sat with the physical sensation without trying to push it away. I became more aware of it, so it didn't heighten it and at the same time it made me realize at a certain point that I was getting anxious on a regular basis.

• Breathing is always there when we look for it. It's one of the easiest things for us to pay attention to and when we focus on our breath, we can expand outward from there. When our thoughts are racing, when we're feeling anxious, we can always just focus on our breath.

If you're a skeptic of mindfulness, I would suggest reading the book 10% Happier by Dan Harris because Dan Harris was also a skeptic. Try it. Figure out what you're hoping mindfulness will bring.
