I love the concept of mindfullness. Mindfullness meditation was taught in both the treatment centre for addiction that I went to and the psych hospital i was in. I don't have as much time to practice the meditation as I'd like now, but I know it was really useful to me when I was stressed out over job hunting, or prepping to go into an interview. I use it too now at work, whenever my boss or who boss get all excited and blow things out of proportion, I'm able to just remain calm and not let their stress get to me.

I also find it works really well with AA's concept of living one day at a time.
