The Brain & Anxiety: 3 Ways to Change Your Brain (Literally!) Mindfulness

Can we change the way we think about things to change our brain to be less anxious? Absolutely! Until recently we thought that the brain is fully developed (and therefore unchangeable) by the end of childhood.

  • Do something new. 
  • Do something scary. 
  • Learn how to think about things differently.
