How can mindfulness help?

Noticing thoughts / taking in the good / noticing difficult thoughts

1. During mindfulness when you notice a thought/ feeling/ emotion popping up whether it's pleasant or unpleasant.

2. Silently say to yourself "I notice that I'm thinking about/feeling XYZ."

3. Then be willing to let the thought/feeling or emotion pass, just like watching a cloud drift off across the sky.

4. If the thought pops up again, repeat steps 2-3 as often as you need to.

5. If the thought won't go away -you can kindly ask it to leave you alone while you are practising mindfulness and for it to give you some peace.

Taking in the good things:

I notice I'm feeling relaxed and calm.

Then be willing to let this thought, feeling or emotion go- like a cloud drifting off across the sky.Then return to paying attention to the present moment through sound, sensation or movement.

I notice I'm feeling relaxed and warm sitting in the sunshine.

Taking in the good things:

I notice I'm feeling anxious and scared and not sure what is going to happen.

Then be willing to let this thought, feeling or emotion go- like a cloud drifting off across the sky. Then return to paying attention to the present moment through sound, sensation or movement. If the thought pops up again - notice it, then let it drift off again

I notice I have nervous feelings about my next round of treatment.
