@christog9 Mindful breathing has been such an extraordinary accomplishment for me. I find myself coming back to my breath more now then ever before. I can think more clearly, my heart rate slows down, my anxiety settles; it's wonderful.
Another trick I had read in a book called "Peace is Every Step" by Thich Nhat Hanh is when you find your mind swirling with many different thoughts, to help get that focus back on the breath, while you're breathing in say, "I am breathing in" or simply "In" and while you are breathing out, "I am breathing out" or simply "Out". This will allow your mind to bring its focus and attention back onto the breath.
These simple phrases have helped me and I hope they can help anyone else who is taking this journey :) Be patient and keep on practicing
