Family Visit

Post here if you are just starting out with your mindfulness practice. Mindfulness is a really difficult concept to get your head around at first, and it might be that you would benefit from some help from others.

One of the true tests of a commitment to mindfulness, and a good opportunity for practicing: a week-long visit with my family! My track record so far: so-so.

Blimey. A week-long visit from the family would be enough to turn The Buddha himself into Genghis Khan.

^ what he said! Actually I find staying in the moment (rather than running ahead to what might happen or disappearing back into the midst of time and reliving what has already happened) does make these things easier. :)

I love 'em all. At the same time, we all chafe on each others' nerves from time to time of course. I've been trying to be more mindful of my own internal reactions, emotional and physical. Revealing.
