Mindfulness

Mindfulness is a practical Activity that you would undertake to help you remain calm. It consists of being aware of yourself and your surroundings, and actively focussing on being present and conscious of yourself, your breathing, where you are sitting, your body, and focussing on each aspect of your surroundings so that you become grounded and centered on where you are.

It takes you out of your racing thoughts and helps you focus on something else. Mindfulness activities together with CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy) goes someway to helping ease anxiety. Obviously before you begin, you need to make sure where you are is safe and you won't be disturbed. There are Apps available to assist with Mindfulness activities. These range from giving you mindful activities to do, sounds to listen to, and videos to watch, as well as speaking to redirect and soothe your thoughts.
