  1. Thank you so much for this video.
    This 5-4-3-2-1 technique was something I remember my therapist advised me to do it when I was going through depression and anxiety. It worked at that time.
    But later I forgot about it.
    Thank you for reminding me of the practice again. I’ll start doing these right away!

  2. Mindfulness has helped me manage my bipolar disorder, life’s many stressors and several serious medical conditions. Been doing it for a dozen years. Thanks.

  3. Wow! Excellent tips. I love these. I have been doing the 5 minute guided video mindfulness meditation videos with my students but they need to be actively listening to the video. I think with your strategies, they would be able to practice mindful meditation on their own, anywhere, anywhere, thus developing a habit of always living in the present moment. THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO. 💖

  4. omg i really wanna try these out, i feel like being able to do these will actually help me feel better about myself, thankyou so much 🌻

  5. This has honestly been so helpful esp the analogy of being at a train station. I’ve been able to notice when I’m having either a depressive or anxious thought and bring it back to the present with the 5,4,3,2,1 technique. Thank you so much ❤

  6. Thank you so much for these. I feel as if just watching your videos with your soothing way of talking calms me down. I bet you’re an amazing psychologist
    I’m a first year psychology student and you are who I look up to. <3

  7. Hi, Mind Life Flow – Patrick here…interesting video on mindfulness practices – is so beneficial for many people. I am in Perth WA and find many clients speak with me about anxiety and stress and find mindfulness helpful. Do you find the same?

  8. Hi Ro, thanks for sharing this.
    Of all the techniques I found on the Internet, I found yours to be really easy and straightforward. Really love the definition of your mindfulness! It’s about being nonjudgmental about yourself. (I always beat up myself when I feel lost haha) the 54321 one actually sound like a real way to redirect back to reality. I will keep it simple and keep practicing!

  9. Thank you for breaking it down in an easy to understand way! I know the next big step for me is regularly practicing mindfulness, but I didn’t understand the other explanations. So glad I found your channel! Sending hugs of gratitude from the US!

  10. HEY, HOW ARE YOU DOING
    HOPE YOU ARE DOING WELL
    WHAT I WANTED TO ASK IS WHY DID YOU PRIVATE ONE OF YOUR PSYCHOLOGY BOOK RECOMMENDATION VIDEO
    I HAD FEW BOOKS LEFT TO CHECK OUT FROM THAT VIDEO AND I FORGOT NAMES OF THOSE FEW BOOKS
    BUT VIDEO IS PRIVATE
