Mindfulness

Mindfulness is a wonderful coping skill that involves being aware of the present moment without judgment. It helps you develop curiosity about your experience and can help distract you from anxious or distressing thoughts.

To practice and learn more about mindfulness, I recommend:

App: Headspace

App: Calm

Netflix: Headspace series

You can also search on Youtube for ‘mindfulness exercises.’
