I have suffered from anxiety most of my life. Therapy is helping me to understand the causes and sources, some of which might be genetic. And, also for most of my life, I did not regard meditation as something I could embrace. I always thought I was too “impatient,” or “focused on tasks” to make it work for me. This continued into retirement! But a dear friend has awakened me to the power and benefits of daily meditation. I do not try to make it a long period of my day, but I endeavor to meditate for at least 10-15 minutes. And, I notice a remarkable calming of my nerves and anxieties. So much to learn and try, even at this point of our lives!
