Certainly, the trait of "Adaptability & Flexibility" is increased through Mindfulness Practices. However, the attributes of "Resilience & Fortitude" are not enhanced by Mindful Intention.

First and foremost, detach from your past experience and affirm that "past experiences don't define me." Learning mindfulness will open a whole new level of understanding and responding to negative thoughts and feelings. I can highlight 3 main things: 1) Expanding awareness by noticing and naming unpleasant feelings and thoughts 2) Unhooking from thoughts using the "Drop anchor" or other techniques 3) Changing beliefs about emotions (from "my emotions/thoughts control me" to "I have response-ability with my emotions/thoughts.")

Throughout the day, take moments to pause and check in with yourself, noticing your thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations without judgment. Engage in activities such as mindful walking, eating, or even just taking a few deep breaths during moments of stress or overwhelm. Before bed, wind down with a brief meditation or reflection on the day's experiences. Consistency is key, so aim to integrate these practices into your daily life to cultivate greater mindfulness and well-being over time.
