Experience in implementing mindfulness practices

What's your personal experience with incorporating mindfulness practices into the daily lives of people of all ages—from children and teenagers to adults and seniors? I'm curious which methods you think truly work universally, and which are best adapted to age, lifestyle, and stress levels.

My experience in integrating mindfulness practices into my daily life has shown that the key to success is simplicity and consistency. Short breathing exercises and mindfulness games work great with children and teenagers, helping them learn to concentrate without feeling pressured. Adults benefit from micro-mindfulness practices—for example, mindful breathing during a break at work or a walk outside. For older adults, slow movements, gentle stretching, and mindful observation of the surrounding world are effective, helping to reduce stress and improve emotional well-being.
