Be mindful about (i) body, (ii) feelings, (iii) mind, and (iv) mental states.
How to be mindful of your mind.....
Observe your thoughts, become aware of them. It creates a space between you & your thoughts. It separates you from your thoughts. Your thoughts come and go, there is impermanence. You are you, you are unchanged, but your thoughts can come and go. When you separate yourself from your thoughts, your thoughts become like an outside object and you hold a more neutral non-judgmental view on your thoughts.
Ask yourself: what are you thinking of?
It is challenging but you have to practise this and be mindful about it. It gets easier over time after you practise and practise it. Your anxiety is always triggered by an emotion. It brings you to the future – what happens, what will happen what might happen?
What made me anxious? What made me fear? Then come back and think of this present moment.
Practise mindfulness and the separation of you & your thoughts.
Show some compassion for yourself. No one can be perfect always. Perfection does not equal success. Just do your best.
