I used to observe my thoughts as they come through.Focus my attention to present ,like body sensations, sounds etc!!Breathing exercise too.Previously it didn’t felt like an effort,but now I get distracted sometimes while performing these mindful exercises.Feeling sbodily sensations still calm my mind,but problem as of late has been with thought observations… I feel sometimes that I am forcing myself do this, and it becomes counterproductive.Overall my condition now is much better than it used to be 4-5 years back,but not as good as it was 2 yrs back.I can’t describe how free I felt when I realised the power of mindfulness.I have become apprehensive that I wouldn’t be able to master that exercise again..:(
