Mindfulness technique

Ask yourself 3 questions

1. How do I feel? (Name the emotion, be specific)

2. What do I need? (Really ponder on this)

3. What can I do about it? ( Either you can or can’t )

It’s something that helps my low moods and anxiety and when I’m down. Sometimes I need to vent, talk to someone or journal, be by myself, get on a app like MindShift, read affirmations, play video games, or realize I can’t do anything about it and just go do something to distract myself.

Hope this helps someone!

I like this quote” You don’t attract what you want. You attract who you are “ does that make sense?

Or perhaps listen to music could be a need too or mediate
