2020.04.21 Why do mindfulness?

Good question, it is the practice that may give you freedom to think about alternative ways to act and do better. Stress is mind numbing, but the regular practice of mindfulness, several times a day, is better than not doing it. It is like exercise. If we don't exercise or practice we don't get good at a skill. Mindfulness is a skill and it takes practice even when we don't want to do it. The value of mindfulness lies in it becoming a skill that can be used when the pressure is on.
