When it comes to reducing stress levels or dealing with my anxiety, I rely on music. I prefer to listen to songs that are similar to what I'm feeling at that moment, or I'll play my favorite songs to calm me down and keep me focused. Two songs that I enjoy listening to are No Rain by Blind Melon and Rooster by Alice in Chains.

Improving my sleep has improved my focus. I no longer feel groggy, drained, tired after getting an extra amount of sleep. I feel more focused, awake, no big headaches so I have a clear mind to think.

While I was meditating my thoughts and emotions were just regular stuff about my day, homework, and my wants. After it was pretty much the same. Being mindful can support my wellbeing simply by helping me be in the present moment.
