The more I tried to “be present,” the more all-over-the-place my mind became, getting lost in overthinking.
Mindfulness didn’t work for me either. Observing my thoughts got me to chase each and every thought and analyze it. When I tried “letting go,” I just held on tighter.
When we're down, people often tell us to "be positive," which is as helpful as saying "cheer up." Befriending my negativity is what's helped me.
