This was a good reminder...nothing lasts forever
Even stress would not last forever and I let it pass... thank you for passing by.

This really helped
This helped to remind me that this heavy feeling I have will not last forever. Even though the world feels on my shoulders - it won't stay there.

Camping is Temporary
I’m in an incredibly beautiful place...nature, with amazing weather. These are wonderful, and yet camping with a bunch of folks can be stressful. This has been a much-needed break to tend to myself. Thank you.

Everything is temporary. I will sail through this difficult time.
I learned that all this negative feelings and stress is temporary. It’s not always like this. I felt warm and i felt like i cared for myself by that simple reminder and a rub on the back on my hand. I feel relieved.

Passing States Like Clouds
This was a wonderful reminder to just be present with what is happening, knowing that everything changes, like clouds in the sky. This re-connected me with my Sacred Witness and it was a nice return. 😇

I felt cool
I felt cool. I mean this is the first time I’m doing this and I felt pretty excited because it was about me and my mind. I felt really calm to be honest and I’d like to work on it a little more.

Learn to love yourself
By being stressed out we can forget to take care of ourselves..we forget to understand this tension is going to change our mood..the way we think..we have to bring it back into our center and think positive. Everything is temporary.<3

Calming, but it takes me longer to unwind. I was hoping this would help me fall asleep.

Temporary state
I learned that what ever I am feeling or going through it won’t last forever. I am in control and able to bring calmness back into my life with a memory or self care.

Sometimes harder
Try as I might, sometimes it’s very hard to remember that things do get better. I have been learning though that taking a break and being more mindful may give me the opportunity to see the problem or feeling in a different perspective. That new view opens a door to new insights in problem solving. This is a great meditation!!! ❤️🙏

Reminding yourself that this too shall pass. You have to try to step back and label the moment the irritation etc. I like the thought of a peaceful recent moment that you had instead of necessarily trying to find peace this exact moment.

Not forever
I have to remember that these days don't last forever. Life is ebb and flow, good and bad. My anxiety may seem like it never exits my life, but there are good days. There are euphoric moments. I choose to be excited about those first and foremost and not focus on how sad the anxious days make me feel. It's up and down. Celebrate the Up's. Be aware of the downs and take what you can learn from them. I will remember this.

I’m trying to switch my thinking during panic attacks to remind myself that they are awful but temporary. This was a good reminder that I needed tonight.

Being the mother of a 16 yr and 3 yr old both with autism and a mother that is going blind living with me and my husband, this helped me to remember this to shall past.

This is a temporary state.
I will not always feel this way. Remembering a moment when I felt calm and relaxed was so reassuring. Picturing myself there again will be such a help when I’m anxious and stressed. I felt calm and relaxed before and I will feel calm and relaxed again. Putting my hand on my heart and rubbing my arm with the other hand was so comforting. I will do this meditation again. Thank you

Stress is temporary but it can be a stepping stone to greater things which helps me get through it
I like the concept of regarding stress as a temporary state but I work better remembering the goal that the stress is in service of rather than thinking of times when I wasn't stressed.

I love reminders that things are temporary, and remember how it felt to be ok in the past :)
It really makes sense that these are exercises that only get better and more effective, I practice these with a coach Practice them enough and your brain learns to calm down significantly

Calm
For the last 3 days I've had waves of anxiety it comes and goes throughout the day and it's so scary because I've never had this or atleast this bad. I feel like I'm drowning and no one can help. I finally feel a bit more calm.

Today I learned...
That will pass. This anxiety and stress with a side of depression (no longer on antidepressants) will pass. This is a temporary place that will open new doors if I let it.

Stressed
I learned that it will all be okay and that this is just a temporary feeling. It really helped thinking about a time where I wasn’t this stressed and it reminded me that it won’t always be like this.

Move it!
I’m reminded that my “heightened states” are usually very short lived; minutes, not days or longer. If I pay attention to that state, I can usually defuse it by just walking into another room, or stepping outside. Plus taking a few deep breaths.

Temporary
Being in a state of stress is only temporary. But even when we are in that state, we also need to still find it in ourselves to relax and take care of our bodies. Relax the body, sooth the mind

Impermemence
I need to remind myself to slow down and enjoy the present moment. The holidays are here and so is the rush to do more all the time. This year I am not going to let myself get caught up in the holidays and instead enjoy the present time and tend lovingly to myself and others.

Amarette
Momentary
Whenever I feel incredibly anxious or depressed, I find myself in a dark place and wondering if I’ll ever go back to normal. I find myself going through illogical thought processes and taking on incorrect perspectives of what is happening. I hope that in the future I will be able to revisit this meditation and remind myself that the feeling is temporary and that it will pass.

Life is dynamic, this too shall pass, I can take care of myself in times of high stress to help bring on a less stressful state and more effective in life

I’m glad you don’t know who I am, for the first
time. Anxiety isn’t a temporary state for me. The very few times I have felt at peace are brief and can’t be returned to. Can’t go back to those times or places. I would love, love to find a peaceful moment where I’m not anxious or afraid or worrying It isn’t as simple as described here. Sad...

Anxiety is a temporary state and controlling your breathing and coming back to a memory of less stress is important to remember.

Rest in the assurance that whatever your current situation is, it will change. Stay on the ride and go around the next bend... over the next hill... and all the while, keep breathing.

Changes for myself
I’ve learned that if I’m in a stressful time in my life. It’ll will pass & it will eventually be okay. It won’t be like that forever. Once I tell myself that every time I’m in that stressful feeling It will calm me down and make me feel a whole lot better.

Getting perspective
This helped me to think more about how everything is temporary. This definitely brings comfort to me for really stressful situations. I hope thinking about this more will give me a better perspective about my situations.

Stress is temporary
This session reminded me that when I'm stressed it's because something stressful has chaotically showed up in my life. Just as quickly as chaos comes, it also goes. Don't wallow in the stresses of right now, stay focused and know that it's all temporary.

This practice is a good reminder that what’s happening right now is temporary, and it will pass. I appreciate this reminder, and I also really liked that I was asked to think of another time when I was feeling better.

I needed to be reminded that this is temporary. It’s easy to forget that when we are wrapped up in our mind.

Learning
I learned that being stressed and feeling anxious is a normal thing and it will pass. There may be times that we feel down and agitated but it doesn’t last long. Hearing someone say that helps you be at ease makes life much better.

Impermanence
I really loved this one. I find when I'm in the midst of a panic attack that one of my first thoughts is "what if this never gets better?" This is a great reminder though that things always change and that one state is not forever. I also love the idea of offering yourself love and gratitude with a kind touch, like you would do for a friend.

Feeling anxious
I have not completely gotten away from feeling anxiousness but I am feeling better after doing this meditation. So I’ll just keep going with my meditations. My heart region feels career and less tense.

Anxiety is temporary
This meditation reminded me of the quote, “feelings are visitors; let them come and go.” Often times, repeating this quote and my other favorite “this too shall pass” helps me remind myself that I may not feel okay right now, but I will be okay in the near future. The uncertainty of my future brings up so much anxiety, but having a daily meditation practice is what allows me to be fully present, even if it’s only a few minutes at a time.

Work in Progress
I am hoping this is true. It has been a year and a half and I still feel off balance and out of synch. Perhaps this is the new normal. Or perhaps it is temporary. I don’t know. I will keep going.

Temporary State
Even in times when it seems like anxiety is taking over, it’s nice to step back and remember that it is not permanent. Everything will work our the way God wants it to & I will be able to move out of this time of my life and into a better one.

This is. Temporary state
I learned that I sometimes forget that I once felt the peace and aliveness of unfettered being in my body and that one day I shall feel this again. Connecting those two moments and feeling deeply into them seems like a good practice of this too shall pass.🦋🦋🦋🐌🐌🐌🐞🐞🐞🦄🦄🦄

Temporary state
Thinking about all we go through, think, or feel as temporary is comforting. Especially when it's a trying time for us. It gives me hope. It makes me feel at ease. Like it isn't so bad.

This is just temporary
These thoughts, emotions, feelings are not permanent. They are temporary, and while life is full of surprises, I need to focus on taking good care of my body and myself. I love you, Michael.
