Everyday Mindfulness

Wow thank you this post was really great for me and my future practice.

I don't know, I'm in a state of stress and then usually the doing mind becomes a lot more active in trying to get everything "right".

I'm copying this answer to my phone if I confuse myself again.

First of all Thank you for your posts :) about this perspective of "positive thoughts" this is a quote from the mindful way through depression by Jon kabat-zinn etc; "An effective response is not to ignore them but to see them clearly, with awareness. When we let them come and go, we ...

Thank you for your insightful perspective and your fast response, I'm amazed. I will definitely come back here to check your response in moments of confusion. I guess I felt a bit like "Am I supposed to "question" or not trust all my thoughts all the time?" I like what you say ab...
