Mindfulness, an often-misunderstood psychological concept, holds immense potential for our daily lives. It’s about being present in the moment, fully experiencing our surroundings without judgement or preconceived notions. Just like a computer, our mind must clear its RAM and working memory to process new information effectively. By practicing mindfulness, we can free ourselves from the burden of past events and fully embrace the present.
Mindfulness is a bright, sunny new day, with a newborn’s appreciation and awe of all that surrounds us now; it is unencumbered from the psychological luggage of all of our yesterdays. Feel the cool breeze on your face, revel in the beauty surrounding you, and commit to love and acceptance of self. Scars are our badges of honor; do not hide them from yourself or others but let them not be the filter through which you envision yourself or the world.
Meditation is a path to mindfulness. Empty your cognitive bowl and let it be filled with this moment; within this NOW lies the truths and wisdom of the Universe. Do not fritter away life looking backward.
