How To Handle 4 AM Worry Spirals | Bart van Melik

A conversation with self-described "worry warrior" Bart van Melik [https://www.bartvanmelik.com/] about working skillfully with everyday anxiety. Bart is a guiding teacher at the Community Meditation Center [https://www.cmc-ny.org/] in New York and our Teacher of the Month for January. In this conversation with executive producer DJ Cashmere, he gets refreshingly honest about his own tendency to worry — and shares a bunch of practical tools for when your mind won't stop spinning through worst-case scenarios. We talk about: * Why mindful breathing sometimes doesn't work (and what to do instead) * The practice phrase "this wants to be seen right now" * How to work with your aversion to worrying (which can be worse than the worry itself) * Why talking about your fears with other people is so crucial * The question "what is this?" as a low-barrier entry point to awareness * How the Buddha's teaching on clinging shows up in anxious thinking * Why community and sangha aren't optional extras If you want more from Bart, check out the 10% with Dan Harris app [https://app.danharris.com/membership] where he's got meditations and live sessions throughout January.
