I ignored mindfulness articles for the longest time because I honestly cannot sit still with my thoughts for a whole five minutes. As a chronic ruminator (living in the future) and regretter (living in the past), I knew that a core piece of self-care needed to bring me back to the present. If this is you, stay with me, because I see you and you’re valid. Mindfulness can be so much more.
