DIY Mental Health

"These skills help you manage attention and reactions more skillfully:

• One-Mindfully: Focus on one thing at a time—if you’re eating, just eat; if you’re with someone, really be there. This helps you stay grounded instead of scattered or distracted. If your mind wanders or you multitask, gently bring your attention back.

• Non-Judgmentally: Notice what’s happening without labeling it as good or bad. Don’t try to stop judgmental thoughts; just recognize them and let them go without buying into them.

• Effectively: Do what works in a situation, even if it’s not fair or satisfying. This means sometimes letting go of being “right” to reduce stress and handle things wisely. It’s about choosing your battles and accepting reality to make better decisions.

Using these skills can improve focus, reduce emotional struggle, and help you respond more wisely in everyday situations. More details and exercises are on the wiki."
