Learn stress-reducing skills to cope better with daily anxiety, worry and self-criticism. In this book, Dr. Sanford describes 5 simple steps to make mindfulness practices part of your life. Based on her Stress Less, Live Better Program developed for moms and busy people, these skill sets are practical and simplified to fit in your life. Complete with exercises and opportunities for reflection, this book will guide you on your journey to stress less and live better.

"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."

-Stephanie Carroll BS, IBCLC, CLS, CLC

"Working with Diane and practicing mindfulness has changed my life in so many positive ways. It sounds so simple & 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 enabled me to enjoy life more."

-Lynn Campbell

"I first came to see Dr. Sanford intending to tackle my all 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."

-Ellen Schmidt

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I was inspired to write this book after experiencing several challenges in my own life. In 2014, I had head surgery for a benign tumor in my inner ear. The recovery was tough and the mindfulness skills I learned made it bearable when I thought I would never feel better again. Then in 2015, I discovered a lump in my breast. I was extremely frightened and thought I could lose my life. During my surgery and radiation, I practiced mindfulness to ease the constant stress and tension in my body and mind. In 2016, I got a divorce after 31 years of marriage and my mother was diagnosed with dementia. I have overseen her health needs and financial affairs since then. The last four years have truly been a wild ride and without my mindfulness skills I would have been unable to have peace of mind and enjoy my life through these stormy times.

My therapist wrote this book. It's a slim little volume offering very simple advice that is a good reminder. She really has helped me find peace among the chaos.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Amazing Book by an Amazing Teacher
Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2020
Like everyone, I have had some very hard times during my life. I wanted more than anything to be happy and okay. I tried many different approaches, but I was always stuck in the same place. Then I met Diane and Mindfulness! Finally, I had the tools and techniques to handle constant overthinking and stress . When unpleasant thoughts now occur, I am able to calm and settle my mind and body. The skills seems so simple, but the results are incredible! I can not recommend this life changing book enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this book
Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2018
I love this book. As someone who has struggled with depression and anxiety (among other issues) his whole life, the specific how-tos of mindfulness Dr. Sanford writes about have started to change the way I think. And thereby my life as a whole. Highly recommend if you're ever stressed or unhappy and want to stop feeling that way (so to pretty much anyone).

It's a concise read with tons of exercises and journal prompts if you like to do those as well. Can't recommend highly enough!! 10/10

Dr. Sanford did a great job with this book. The exercises and suggestions are well presented and easy to follow. Dr. Sanford is not afraid to share her own journey to mindfulness in a raw and powerful way. I will keep this book in my arsenal for sure!
