Anxiety has the power to lock us in a tunnel vision that, when unmonitored, starts a chain reaction of reactivity. In the moments where we might have a sliver of mindfulness whilst feeling anxious, we can try the countdown in this 5-minute meditation (with ending bell). It can help you get out of your head and into the moment, a sound antidote to the limiting effects of anxiety.

Pro tip: If you’re prone to anxiety, try this meditation in non-anxious moments so it’s easily accessible when you are feeling anxious.
