Mindfulness can be tough for people who are dealing with strong emotions. Here are some common problems they might face:

1. Resistance: Sometimes, painful feelings can make someone want to avoid mindfulness completely.
2. Distraction: It’s easy for our minds to wander, which can make it hard to pay attention to what’s happening right now.
3. Impatience: Wanting quick results can lead to feeling frustrated.

But there are ways to get past these challenges:

• Gradual Exposure: Start with short practice sessions to feel more comfortable.
• Structured Guidance: Use apps or take classes to help you stay on track.
• Patience and Compassion: Remember that getting better takes time. Be kind to yourself and talk positively in your head.
