Practicing Mindfulness
Look into Thich Nhat Hanh’s steps and definition and practices of mindfulness because it’s a lot more than just this thread. But, as an introduction... To put it really simply, mindfulness is being present for EVRRYTHING you do. Eating, drinking, breathing, watching a movie, playing video games, listening to your friend while they’re having an issue, and on and on. The moment you catch yourself drifting away, you compassionately bring yourself back to the present moment. This is teaching your brain to stay present and not drift while also detaching from your intense feelings and thoughts. That’s why it’s so important for everyone’s mental health.
