Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I carry stress as a clenched jaw, tight shoulders, a knot in my stomach all day, and I only ever notice it once it’s pain
• I run on autopilot from one thing to the next and only realize how wound up I am once I’ve snapped at someone
• I can be calm on the cushion and then completely lose it the moment real life starts
• By bedtime I’m still buzzing from the day and I get into bed wired
• I get into bed and my thoughts start racing in every direction, broad and scattered, and I can’t drop off

Practices that may help

1. Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)
   MBSR is Jon Kabat-Zinn’s structured 8-week program that trains present-moment, non-judgmental attention through the body scan, mindful breathing, and mindful movement. Of the popular-psychology approaches to stress, it is among the best supported: multiple randomized trials and meta-analyses find MBSR produces moderate reductions in stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms.
2. The body scan
   Move attention slowly through the body, region by region, noticing sensation without trying to change it.
