I love learning about the power of presence for reducing anxiety and to maintain a sense of tranquility and calm throughout my day.

Unfortunately, when I first got interested in presence, I had a hard time figuring out where to start.

So, if you are trying to learn more about reducing anxiety and living more fully in the present, here's the best way to get started:

• Read This Book: The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle will give you a lay of the land, and is a helpful way to get your bearings.

• Watch This TED Talk: "How to Tap into Your Awareness | Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche | TED" by TED is a must-watch beginner resource for anyone interested in practical tools to cultivate presence.

• Practice With This YouTube Video: And if you want to get started with your practice, watch "Meditation for Inner Peace" by Yoga with Adriene.

These 3 resources will exponentially accelerate your learning process.
