About this ebook

It’s time to live in the present! Simply stated, mindfulness is the practice of living in the present. It’s choosing to focus on the here and now but without getting swept up in mental drama. Mindfulness lessens the grip our turbulent thoughts have on our mood and well-being.

Author Tracey Moore Lukkarila knows this from experience. As a sufferer of anxiety and clinical depression, she has spent a lifetime experimenting with different ways to manage her condition. Mindfulness has become the tool she uses every day to calm the internal chaos, creating space to breathe.

Tracey created this journal to share techniques that work for her. You’ll learn simple ways to quickly get yourself out of your head and into your life. You’ll gain a greater connection to yourself, others, and the world around you.

    Preface

    On my journey of dealing with clinical depression, I’ve tried many things. One thing that’s remained a constant is journaling. I find journaling keeps me aware and accountable to whatever therapeutic treatment I’m undertaking at the time. Sometimes I journal a lot of words, but most of the time it’s a simple daily check-in.

    For the past two years, my journal has been focused on mindfulness. I have collected dozens of mindfulness activities from my readings and trainings, modifying many of them to be more meaningful to me. These activities have had a profound impact on my depression and have been literally lifesaving.

    I started to realize that I had the foundation of a journal I could share with others. The format of this journal mirrors my own handwritten journal. Each day I record what I’m grateful for, what I did successfully that day, and what’s on my mind, such as my experience with whatever mindfulness technique(s) I did that day. Add some artwork, a little organization, and many inspiring quotes and voila! This journal was born.
