Perhaps most importantly, the slowing down encouraged by meditation and mindfulness-based thinking helped me realize the simplest truth: I have time. I have time to figure out my life and my future; I don’t need to run laps on the anxiety race track to get “there” as fast as possible, wherever “there” is. Taking this life thing one moment at a time, one Spotify playlist a time, one sitting-doing-nothing session at a time, may even help me know the “there” I’m heading toward.
