The document explains urge surfing, a mindfulness-based technique for managing unwanted behaviors such as substance use, anger outbursts, gambling, or other impulses. Instead of fighting or giving in to an urge, you observe it and ride it out, much like surfing a wave, knowing it will naturally rise, peak, and fall.
