Meditation - I'm Trying to Be Mindful

I started meditation many years ago when I was at Manchester University. That's when I first really encountered the word mindfulness in a Buddhist setting. Amusingly, my meditation teacher told me that he hadn't met many people who were so unmindful that I really needed it more than most. It's interesting how many different ways there are to use the word. When somebody says, I'm trying to be more mindful, you almost have to ask, what does that mean to you?
