Mindfulness is the practice of being at ease with what is. The more you practice, the easier it gets to be more accepting of whatever feelings are present.

#111 Focus on Gratitude

Yes, life feels overwhelming. Yes, we must forego some of our favorite activities. And yes, expressing gratitude can make it better. Instead of missing what you don't have right now, try focusing your thoughts on the good things -- the attention of your teenager, the extra time to enjoy the comforts of your home, the mood boost from a brisk walk. Feeling grateful won't solve complex problems, but it will put you in a better mindset to face the challenges.

#110 Do Your Best

It’s not always possible to get the outcomes we want. Sometimes the check is late, the colleague is a no-show, or the doctor doesn’t call back. Even when we feel small or insignificant – true, true – we have a lot of impact on our loved ones, our co-workers, and neighbors. So trying remains important. Practice making peace with the paradox: Inhale, “I do my best.” Exhale, “I let go.”.

#109 - Wired to Connect

As humans, we have different likes, different lifestyles, different views. But we're all wired to connect and want to belong. In times of conflict, it can help to remember what we have in common. When you feel anger, annoyance, or frustration brewing, recite to yourself:

This person is human, just like me; this person makes mistakes, just like me; this person wants to be happy, just like me.

#108 - Breathe before you speak

During interpersonal communication, it can be difficult to wait your turn to speak. Someone says something that triggers a thought, and it's natural to want to jump right in and respond. But this can lead to awkward interruptions and choppy conversations.

Curb the urge to interrupt by inserting a pause before your reply. One deep breath can give you just enough time to confirm that the other person reached a full stop and is ready to "pass the mic.".
