Mindful meditation helps individuals take time to concentrate on their breathing, to relax and focus on the future rather than the past.

With plenty of sleep, a good balanced diet and appropriate exercise, the mind and body remain more stable and less subject to mood swings and lapses.
Gratitude for the things in life which you do have, helps to reinforce the positive things in your life already. A moment taken at the end of the day can involve listing one of two things we appreciated during the day.
