mindfulness

A channel for discussing mindfulness (theory & practice) In every moment, we have two choices: be mindful or mindless. Mindfulness is the philosophy of gaining control of our experience and living a more engaged life ✨

Are we better off turning off notifications on all social media? I suspect the cheap dopamine from notifications is not worth the price we pay for it. Constantly shifting attention and not being able to focus deeply is doo big of a price. We are better off turning off notifications and allocating 1-2 windows of hourly sessions to check for social media. Unless you need it for work, I feel like what I describe is better than just having notifications on. Would like to hear thoughts and experience of others.

IF the body's sensations are a reflection of the thinking mind's state, then the flutterings can serve as your guide to the present moment :)

The observer effect is a paradox ✨ Being mindful of that fact can open the door to understanding the connection between contradictions and how you can leverage it to improve the expression

How mindful are you of your screen time? It’s easy to get caught up in the many things online, spending hours in the digital world. But it’s important to be aware of this time, and perhaps put a bit more intentionality to the actions we take online, so we can conserve energy for IRL ✨

Writing = Thinking ✍️ 🧠 Our thoughts are amorphous, chaotic & non-linear. Writing enables the generation of words as containers for thoughts, which help us to link thoughts together, moving towards clarity The end result is not the goal, rather, the journey of writing is the purpose in & of itself

A beautiful concept 🌊 I definitely notice the peaceful nature of being on or underwater ☺️ The calming sound of waves inspires regulated breathing, which induces a regulated mind

Mindfulness, the moment between lessons of the past & dreams of the future ✨ We look to the past not to relive it, but to learn. We look to the future not to yearn, but to dream. These lessons and dreams guide us in the current moment, as long as we don’t lose ourselves in the past or future, we can continue experiencing the now as it is 😌

I think we’ll see a bifurcation of society in this way: some will continue to be perpetually plugged in, while others will minimize connected phone time I think it’s all about intent, which is often something lacking when it comes to phone use - a result of the addicting software we’re exposed to constantly

It’s amazing how our perception of time is often influenced by our activities. It’s so easy to get sucked into our phones that hours feel like minutes. Adding intentionality to phone usage is a surprisingly difficult, so it was cool to hear @jake’s thoughts. Thanks for sharing @phil “I wrote more about doing a phone fast here but the main takeaways for me were two-fold. First, the day goes by slower. The first day felt a lot slower, but the next two as well. That is a great thing in my book. I would love for life to feel like it is going by slower. If you can make your perception of time slower, you can basically live longer.”

For me, writing is an incredible mindful experience. It forces me to slow down, to pay attention to my thoughts, and to do the hard part: translate them into /words The transformation of the chaos of thought into the clarity of words improves with intention & reflection ie with /mindfulness 🧠 ✍️ 📝
