Before you lose yourself, learn mindfulness. | This is what saved my life.

I have learned Mindfulness in the hardest way. I was not the same, I had no connection with my inner self. Moreover, I always tried to escape facing my inner self. It was not like I made a big mistake or something but there was fear. Fear of knowing the unknown.

If you have a chaotic mind then you will understand better what I'm saying.

I never considered being mindful, I didn't know how much it could help. I started to lose interest, I became so forgetful. I was never like that before. But not considering mindfulness make me come to a point where I started to lose myself. It was like I was shredded in parts. I was doing what I was supposed to but my mind was never there. I started to lose my connection with life.

This may sound normal to many. Because I have seen so many people living with this condition. One reason is they don't realize it's not normal, they think depression is a normal thing to have. Another reason is, not knowing what can help them.

But this is not normal, not knowing our inner self, not having a connection with life is not normal.

Losing ourselves is the worse experience anyone could have.

But I found mindfulness. It took me a long while to find this path, understand this and adopt this. But once I do my life changed. I wouldn't claim my chaotic mind is gone, I have been successful in building my happiness. I'm still not there but I'm walking on the right track, that's what I feel now.

Mindfulness is a way of befriending ourselves and experiencing.

• This one thing makes everything meaningful. Your past that you may not want to recall will also seem meaningful, necessary and, valuable. That's the power of mindfulness.

• You will feel comfortable with your inner self. You don't have to live with duality. You can befriend yourself. That's the best thing you can gift yourself.

• Also, I found that it helped me to become less forgetful and more conscious about my surroundings which helps to make better decisions too.

If you ever felt something like what I felt, no connection with the inner self, losing yourself. I would highly suggest you practice mindfulness. There are so many materials online and offline. I believe you will not feel any difficulty incorporating it into your daily life. Moreover, it's nothing difficult to start.

So be mindful before it's too late.
