Think of a situation in your life that is difficult, that is causing you stress. Call the situation to mind, and see if you can actually feel the stress and emotional discomfort in your body. Now, say to yourself: 1. This is a moment of suffering. That’s mindfulness. Other options include: This hurts. Ouch. This is stress. 2. Suffering is a part of life. That’s common humanity. Other options include: Other people feel this way. I’m not alone. We all struggle in our lives.
