I find the practice of Mindfulness helps me to keep my glass half full. Even in a chaotic or stressful time, I bring my attention into what’s actually happening here. Most times our suffering comes because we are carrying heavy thoughts about what’s happened in our lives or we are anxious or worried about what will happen tomorrow.

I just take a few deep breaths and bring all of my mind in the environment I’m in or on the current task I’m working on. I feel an instant relief. I don’t have to be triggered by anything because I refuse to bring anything upsetting from my past (including maybe the annoying traffic I experienced in the morning) and I just take everything that happens with a fresh perspective.

This brings peace and happiness.
