I practice mindfulness.<\/h4>\n<p>This involves acceptance of my current situation.\u00a0 It means that I pay attention to my current thoughts and feelings without judging them.\u00a0 It enables me to focus on the present not the past or the future.<\/p>\n<p>Because anxiety is simply worrying about the future, mindfulness has enabled me to overcome anxiety,<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It has enabled me to overcome depression and cope with PTSD, because it prevents me from focusing on the past.<\/li>\n<li>It has also gives me the presence of mind to think clearly about my current issues and therefore make better decisions about what I need to do.<\/li>\n<li>Mindfulness means maintaining a moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surrounding environment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Also, mindfulness improves my health by lowering my stress.<\/p>\n<h4>How do I do practice this?<\/h4>\n<p>I take deep breaths and clear my mind of all thoughts.\u00a0 Then I meditate about one thing at a time. For more information about how to practice mindfulness and meditate, click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mindful.org\/meditation\/mindfulness-getting-started\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p>You can alleviate your anxiety and depression and PTSD too! You can cope better with your circumstances, no matter what they are.\u00a0 Simply practice mindfulness.<\/p>\n<p>Mindfulness takes away the control that issues have in your life and gives the control back to you!\u00a0 When the issues no longer control you, you overcome them!<\/p>\n<p>Parents, tell your children what you are doing as you practice mindfulness.\u00a0 Teach them by your
