Become More Present By Operating From a Positive Mindset

Take charge of your perception of present moment reality by slowing down, breathing slowly, and affirming that you are OK as you are, even though you may be having some insecure thoughts, feelings or bodily reactions, which tend to feel uncomfortable. The more we can acknowledge and tolerate such discomfort, and see it as normal and healthy, the more present we can be for ourselves and others.  Over time, practicing a positive mindset will result in less and less regression and reactivity during stressful situations.
