You should know that mindfulness is not easy. Especially at first, or when you’re out of practice, or when you’re just having a bad moment. So know that it is difficult and you’re doing well. One minute is not too small to make a difference. Keep taking that one minute regularly and it will become easier.

When you first start to pay attention to what your mind is doing it can be overwhelming, some people even feel like they’re getting worse because they notice all this nutty stuff going on in their heads. It’s a normal part of the process, and actually being aware of the nutty stuff is the first step to dealing with it.

Good luck.
