One of my favorite parts of practicing mindfulness is that you can let go of everything and focus on a single thing. It is wonderful for getting through a stressful situation.
The practice-
Sit quietly and focus on one idea or item.
When thoughts come invading your mind, say hello to them, and let them float up into the sky and out of sight.
Keep doing this until eventually, the only thing that is in focus is the idea or item that you intended to focus on.
When ready, slowly allow the world to come back to you...like water filling a small pool.
Notice that you are now no longer in the stress, but are now outside looking in at it.
Mindfulness is such a gift to give yourself.
I am in the process of writing about it for a book that will be finished this summer.
Be Mindful.
Peace.
