Yoga and meditation are good as well as being reflective of my thoughts and feelings and correcting how I respond to events. How do you define mindfulness? Some may say it's a road, not an actual tangible goal. In other words, you'd never arrive to a point where you can say "a-hah! I now achieved mindfulness!" I think its hard to define and a constantly moving target, which makes it inherently subjective. konokonohamaru posted... Any examples? I don't think I'm very "aware" of my surroundings by any means, but I'm not exactly sure how to become more "aware" Introspection, to start, IMO. TreyFlowers posted... I am incredibly self aware, it's one of my favourite qualities about myself, and probably the biggest part of what makes me, me. However it also probably costs me some happiness in life, because before I do anything, the question I ask myself is "Is this the right thing to do", not "will this make me happy/is this what I want", etc. As in I will purposely do something that makes me unhappy if I know it is the right thing to do. Being right > being happy. But I'm not unhappy - I'm married, have plenty of money, great friends and a fulfilling job - I couldn't be happier, honestly. If that makes sense?= Its definitely a balance like you say especially if you prioritize rightness over happiness --- uwu SW-0239-3946-8686 <cite>_Matchabuu_ posted [p:929816358] in One of my ...
