By Debra Schmidt


Mindfulness is the process in psychology where someone brings their attention to experiences happening presently. This can be developed by practicing meditation or other training which also develops their wisdom and self knowledge that leads gradually to enlightenment or a freedom completely without suffering. Studies show that this practice is correlated strongly with perceived health and greater well being.

They show also that mental illness, such as depression and anxiety, is contributed by worry and rumination which this practice can reduce effectively when used to intervene. So attending a few mindfulness events Pasadena would be advantageous in motivating yourself again. They have speakers that teaches and shares knowledge about the process while enjoying some entertainment with others.

But you cannot always attend these events every time you experience new tough circumstances such as relationship issues, illness or job loss. These things can get people easily fall into despair or feel overwhelmed but your resilience could be strengthened by bringing mindfulness. Follow these tips in using the process in effectively managing these emotions during difficult times.

First thing you can do is record a video of yourself when experiencing these difficult emotions and talk about any sensations noticed, your feelings and thoughts. Try to name and identify the emotion clearly as it helps to regulate it more which means your recovery will be faster. Watch it then some days later to realize everything is not permanent even when it seems like the first time you felt it.

Calling for support from family and friends is not particularly comfortable specially in communicating your needs to them. They may have no idea in ways of offering their support but never hesitate in approaching them when you need them at these tough times. Send them message to explain your situation and the specific things they could do to assist.

Be careful with the kind of media you are ingesting and be intentional in choosing them specially if you are having difficulties. Find stories of shared humanity, inspiration, optimism and hope to get more positive things inside you. Explore websites offering these contents because you will become what you choose to focus your attention on.

Gratitude is how to powerfully train you in noticing positive things in life rather than its negative ones and what builds happiness. Make a gratitude group through contacting your friends and make everyone responsible for sharing some things that day which made them grateful. Research even suggests having focus in gratitude support greater daily happiness.

Practice self compassion by avoiding to be self critical and harsh to yourself when coping with the hardships you are facing. This can bring more gentleness and kindness to yourself and become your own best friend. Say kind phrases to yourself while placing your hand to your heart during difficulties to sooth yourself actively.

Meditation is training to develop yourself new relationship with thoughts in lessening the impact they have on your emotional states. This makes you a master of thinking and mind instead of their slave so train before the arrival of challenges. This helps you be mentally prepared and strong when needed.
