DBT- Mindfulness: Problem doing only one thing at once

...See more Hello there! Since a few weeks, I started reading and doing DBT lessons and trying to do the exercises suggested in there. I feel like it has already helped me a bit but I am really struggling with only doing one thing at once (to be totall present there etc.) which is an important part of mindfulness. I just really don't like being left alone with my thoughts. So I do at least 2 things at once, if not more, to always have something to give my attention and focus to. The only time this doesn't apply is when I do something that requires a lot of concentration, like studying, because then, it takes up enough of my concentration and focus to not any leave mental space for negative thoguhts. When I'm doing something that doesn't require as much focus, I simply feel like I'm not occupying enough mental space and the rest of the space will be filled with negative or anxious thoughts. Thus, I never do only one thing at a time. Does anyone experience a similar problem? Do you have any advice on this? Thanks in advance :)
