Mindfullness for a healthy mind

[Guitar5]

I often find that, with the practice of Mindfullness and meditation you can almost sense when a thought can have a positive or negative effect. This morning, driving down the motorway, a song reminded me of a conversation the previous night, which then triggered an emotion.
The potential to let such emotions influence our day are, I think heightened if we are not mindful.
That is one of the many benifits of the practice.
Anybody agree?

[Gareth]

Absolutely.

Awareness is key. Noticing your thoughts and emotions and how they affect you is the essence of mindfulness.

Definitely right.
