Letting go of how meditation "should" be

"When we see our thoughts, emotions and behaviours as natural products of how our brains evolved we can cut ourselves some slack and not be so harsh on ourselves. This allows us to see ourselves more clearly and make better decisions for how we want to behave."

Taking an interest…

I often find it hard to write about concepts in mindfulness (they really do need to be experienced) but every now and then when I’m out and about I’ll see a real world reminder of an idea.

Out for a cycle a few weeks back, my mind off somewhere else, I saw two people stopping to look in the water before they cycled on.
When I came up to where they had been I decided to stop myself and see what they had been looking at.

I spent about 15 minutes watching the fish come and go and flash silver as the light caught them.

We talk about “being present” a lot in mindfulness but it gets repeated so much that it kind of loses meaning.

This stopping and taking an interest in what was happening was my real world example of “being present”.

No matter how much we complicate it (and we are GREAT at over complicating things), mindfulness really can be as simple as stopping and taking an interest in the world around us.

PS
If you're interested in mindfulness and meditation but don't know where to start I have a free weekly newsletter on these topics. See the comments below to sign up 👇
