When did you first start practicing mindfulness and why were you motivated to do so?

I was motivated to start practicing mindfulness when I found myself at a very negative point in my life. I couldn’t seem to find a way out of the situation I was in without taking responsibility for my mind and changing the way I thought about my life and where I had found myself.

At first I tried reading about mindfulness practice as a means of learning, but that left me with a lot of information in my head and no real understanding of how to implement that information into real life practice.
