Awareness is very important! Always and at all times be aware of EVERYTHING! At all times Be aware of what you’re thinking, of how you feel, of how you look to others, of your environment, and always breathe correctly. Focus and concentration is very important as well.

You should concentrate and focus strongly on good things especially the Word of God. Try focusing and concentrating on Bible verses. It will help you in times of distress.
