Urge surfing is a mindfulness technique used in dialectical behavior therapy that helps individuals manage their cravings by staying present with the sensations that arise. It encourages practitioners to observe their urges without acting on them, recognizing that the discomfort will pass. Unlike various strategies to alter habits, urge surfing requires no tools or setup, making it an accessible and powerful method for mindfulness and behavioral change. By focusing on internal sensations and maintaining a curious attention, individuals learn they can tolerate cravings effectively.
Urge surfing teaches us to bring a curious attention to our cravings without taking action, demonstrating that we can tolerate discomfort.
This powerful tool requires just your attention and willingness, making it versatile and applicable in any situation.
