“When Dr. Sanford said she was writing a book, I thought, ‘how perfect.’ My only hope is that those non-believers like me, who have preconceived notions of mindfulness and meditation, just stop for a minute. You are wrong. This is not some weird stuff you see at night on an infomercial; you aren’t going to spray your pillow with a magic elixir or take some special supplement. Her book is based on thoroughly researched techniques that work. And trust me, if my monkey mind can be tamed, anyone’s can.”
“Working with Diane and Practicing mindfulness has changed my life in so many positive ways. It sounds so simple and easy, but it isn’t. It takes understanding, belief and dedication for it to work. Practicing mindfulness has helped me have less anxiety and worry less, and enable me to enjoy life more.”
“I first came to see Dr. Sanford intending to tackle all may issues, battle all my demons–to fix all my problems. When she suggested I spend some time each day NOT wrestling with my problems, well…I was skeptical. However, with her guidance I learned a new approach. Now when a situation arises that feels like a crisis, I can put it aside, focus on better thoughts, wait for a resolution, and later if the problem is still there–and so often it is not–I can deal with it calmly. This new attitude has quite simply changed my life.”
“Mindfulness techniques are very often dismissed as irrelevant practice. However, Dr. Sanford provides her readers with many references proving mindfulness to be an evidence-based practice. The feeling of overall calm throughout the book, left me feeling relaxed and less stressed – a testament to testing out her steps to decrease worry, anxiety, and self-criticism.”
