One woman’s story illustrates how mindfulness and body awareness can help. When she felt tense, sad or angry, she would worry that the feelings would take over.  Her usual reaction was to distract herself from the emotions. She wanted to ‘silence’ herself and hadn’t tried to listen to her emotions. When she started to listen to her feelings, she said, “something in me relaxed and I became clearer about what I needed to do”.
