Mindfulness may feel difficult at first, but it is something that we get better at as we practice. It is so easy to unknowingly let our mind get carried away, or spiral over something negative that has happened in the past, or something we are worried about in the future. Our bodies automatically respond to these thoughts, causing us to feel anxious, unsettled, unfocused and can make us want to shut down. Believe it or not, we can control how we think, when we become more aware of it. This will help us better control how we feel. The ultimate goal is to reduce negative feelings with positive ones, which will help improve overall mental health and cognitive functioning.
