Everyday Mindfulness

This is a great topic. I've been wondering the same thing. I have a friend who at the moment is going through a particularly difficult time and is trying to deal with it by keeping never endingly busy so she doesn't have to confront any of the difficult feelings. I wanted to suggest mindfulness but ...

An interesting question and one I've occasionally pondered on. I have sometimes felt that I have become less sociable as a result of practicing mindfulness - I'm far more content to be on my own and to be quiet and although this can also be seen as a positive in some respects I also miss the more so...

Hi Rara, Thanks for your thoughtful response. It's funny because I never used to be someone who even felt anger (not encouraged in my family), since I realised that was the case I now feel it more than ever!

I'm sorry to hear about your abusive father, it sounds as if you have found ways to deal with the anger that...

Hi Lucy, Sorry to hear you've been having a difficult time. I can identify with what you were saying about the anxiety in the mornings as I had a difficult period last year in which I felt the same. I think for me I realised that I was sometimes using my periods of formal practice with a planned out...

Hi Everyone, Thanks for your replies and thoughts. Gareth, I very much like the quote that you shared so thank you. I reflected on what you and BioSattva said about the fact that it was still rather 'live' for me. I tried today to mindfully notice my thoughts and feelings on the conversation that I ...

Hi everyone, I have a question about situations in which I feel angry. I've been practicing mindfulness daily for over a year now and I've done the 8 week MBCT course. A situation arose earlier this evening in which my Mum said something personal and critical which really pushed my buttons. I notice...
