The proactive mindfulness strategy involves actively engaging in mindfulness practices to manage and regulate emotions before they escalate into overwhelming states. 

By incorporating mindfulness into your daily routine, you can cultivate a more balanced emotional state, making it easier to handle stress and anxiety proactively. 

This strategy helps in maintaining a steady level of emotion regulation, reducing the likelihood of emotional peaks and troughs, and preparing you to face challenges with a clearer, more composed mind.
