Practicing Presence

Living in the present moment is one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves, yet it's something we constantly struggle with. Our minds either dwell on past mistakes or jump ahead and worry about the future. But neither regret nor anxiety serves us; they only rob us of the peace we can find right here and right now.

If you want help with this, notice when your mind wanders. Pay attention to when you're getting lost in thoughts about the past or future. Gently guide yourself back by focusing on your breath, your surroundings, or a simple task at hand.

This is something you can practice all the time, such as when you eat, when you walk, and when you speak to someone. The more you practice presence, the easier it becomes to stay in the space of peace. Try it for yourself and let me know how it goes. How will you practice staying in the present moment? Share your approach in the comments, and let’s support each other in living more mindfully.

Also, as a way to better connect with you all, I make video responses to your mental health questions.

The last video I made was about 1 simple self-care tool for better mental health. If this sounds useful to you, you can check out the video here:

The problem with overthinking

Overthinking often leads us into a spiral of unnecessary stress, taking something small and turning it into a full-blown problem. The more we dissect and analyze every situation, the more we invent issues that don’t even exist.

Next time you find yourself doing this, ask yourself: Is this thought helping or hurting me? If it’s creating more anxiety than clarity, it’s time to stop. Try distracting your mind with something productive. Whether it's going for a walk, practicing a hobby, or engaging in a conversation, refocusing your energy will help prevent overanalysis.

I can't emphasize enough the value of mental health videos to help with this ability. But everyone has their own path. How do you stop your mind from overanalyzing? Share a tip that works for you and let’s build a toolkit to help each other live with more clarity and ease.

Also, as a way to better connect with you all, I make video responses to your mental health questions.
