Mindful Moments

Urge Surfing Meditation for Overwhelm & Stress Relief


Listen Later

Ever feel like your responsibilities are too much to carry? Or like your emotions are pulling you under? This guided meditation is inspired by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and focuses on the skill of urge surfing — learning to ride the waves of difficult emotions without being consumed by them. Together, we’ll use the breath, imagery, and mindful awareness to process overwhelm, calm the nervous system, and reconnect with what matters most. Perfect for moments of stress, frustration, or when you’re caught in spirals of “too much.”


✨ What you’ll gain from this practice:

  • A safe space to breathe and ground your nervous system

  • Tools for observing emotions without judgment

  • A gentle ACT-inspired reflection to guide behavior toward your values

  • Relief from overwhelm by practicing acceptance and curiosity


  • Mindful Moments meditations are written and guided by Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional, Katie McLaughlin, MA LPCC CCATP. Mindful Moments provides curated and effective anxiety relief and healing meditation practices, along with evidence-based techniques specific to finding lasting anxiety relief. Too many meditation practices make false claims about clearing the mind and eliminating anxiety. While these are often pleasant side effects of meditation and mindfulness, they are not the intended goal. The only goal of a meditation practice is to be present; to observe the self in the current moment with acceptance and compassion. Daily mindfulness meditations, along with intentional calming strategies and routines work together to decrease anxiety while improving emotion regulation and overall mood.
