April 2023 - Cultivating Self-Awareness

It's about getting back into the driver's seat of your mind.

There are plenty of reasons to practice mindfulness meditation. But for me, there is one reason I keep coming back to the cushion.

My practice supports me in having more agency over where my mind goes and what my precious mental energy is expended on.

I'm not saying it is easy, or that it has turned me into a non-reactive mind-Jedi (if only). I am, however, better at noticing what's going on in my mind at any given moment and then guiding it in a direction that is more productive and less draining.
