Mindfulness is the awareness that emerges through paying attention on purpose, in the present moment, and nonjudgementally to the unfolding of experience moment by moment (Kabat-Zinn, 2003). Mindfulness is a practice of focused attention and awareness. You can practice Mindfulness in many ways including meditation, breathing exercises, mindful eating, mindful walking/running, body scans and journaling. Try something below:

Use these statements to replace self-criticism or remind yourself to be kind to Number One (YOU).
I accept the best and worst aspects of who I am.
Changing is never simple but it’s easier if I stop being hard on myself.
My mistakes just show that I’m growing and learning.
It’s okay to make mistakes and forgive myself.
I am free to let go of others’ judgments.
It’s safe for me to show kindness to myself.
I deserve compassion, tenderness, and empathy from myself.
I release myself with forgiveness from today and move forward with self-love to tomorrow.
Every day is a new opportunity. I won’t let self-doubt or judgment hold me back from the future.
I forgive myself and accept my flaws because nobody is perfect.
I’m not the first person to have felt this way, and I won’t be the last, but I’m growing.
