I've realised this is something I drastically need to implement into my life. I've had minor successes with meditation in the past but it never really sticks. I'm not great at sitting still and I also have back issues so struggle to sit up straight for long periods.

So I'm wondering if you do any mindfulness practices, what has worked for you?

I am practicing DBT daily. You can do a light activity with what's called "one mindedness" where you focus all your attention on that single activity, and do it slower than you normally would, no harsh or abrupt movements, and just throw yourself into what you're doing, slowly and mindfully.
