Mindfulness Means Nonjudgmental Awareness
- Mindfulness is about paying nonjudgmental attention to the present moment with openness and kindness.
- Expect your mind to wander during meditation and gently bring focus back without self-judgment.
Thoughts Are Just Mental Events
- Thoughts are mental events created by the brain, just like sweat or saliva.
- Recognizing thoughts as separate events reduces their power and helps prevent being caught up in them.
Start Meditation With Two Minutes
- Start mindfulness practice by sitting quietly and focusing on your breath for just two minutes daily.
- When your mind wanders, notice it kindly and gently return focus to your breath.
