How has Mindfulness/Meditation helped you during your day.

I use meditation when I feel myself getting overwhelmed or overly stressed like when I have to present in the next classes, focusing on what I need to do at the moment when I'm thinking about something completely different. When I notice this, I take a deep breath and meditate. 

Earlier today before presenting my living history assignment I took some time to calm myself down before going up to present.

I find myself using Mindfulness the most when studying for a test. I look at the information and if I begin to stress I use Mindfulness to bring myself back to a calm state.

Before a math test. I will sit and just listen to my breath. I do that so I can get all the bad thoughts out of my head and focus on the now.

During different times in my day I take long, deep Mindful breaths.

I was playing with some friends and some guy expected me to fight, but I used Mindfulness and walked away.

I use it when I'm about to take a quiz or test.

When we are given extra time at the end of my classes I meditate. 

I use meditation before tests if I'm stressed out.

When two friends of mine were angry at each other I told them to sit and relax and after I explained what was wrong.

The ability to stop and think about what it is I am about to do before doing it.

I think that learning that I shouldn't push feelings away and that I should accept them the way they are really helped boost my mood and decrease my stress levels.
