Description: STEP OUT OF YOUR ANXIETY AND INTO YOUR LIFE! Based on Dr. Brewer's New York Times best-selling book Unwinding Anxiety, this deck features 60 research-based practices to help you identify and overcome unhelpful anxiety responses, or habits, that prevent you from living life to the fullest. Grounded in the science of mindfulness, each exercise harnesses your brain's innate power to create new responses to anxiety triggers, so you can: - Form new habits that interrupt your anxious cycles - Focus on what works instead of trying to control your anxiety - Explore the misleading "payoff" of anxious habits - Step out of worry and rumination and into healthy, fulfilling experiences - Create bigger, better habits that build kindness, curiosity, and gratitude
