can be quite emotionally draining

a self-destructive cycle of negative emotions and perceptions.

there is no one-size-fits-all system

broach the topic.

Practicing mindfulness consistently leads to a feeling of potential, of hope, and of looking forward with a fresh pair of eyes.

Focus comes from the mental effort of sharpening your thinking and scaling it down to a single task without letting your mind wander all over the place to things that are not helping you perform that task.

Take a few deep breaths and quiet your mind.

Close your eyes as you begin. Then, as you start to appreciate and focus only on what’s around you, slowly open your eyes.
