Mindfulness Defined
- Mindfulness is non-judgmental observation of the present moment and a way of being.
- It allows us to observe emotions like anger without adding aversion or judgment to them.
Anger When Driving Example
- When driving, if a car cuts you off, the first reaction may be strong anger.
- Mindfulness means observing that anger without getting angry about being angry.
Avoid Reacting to Emotions
- Often experiencing an emotion triggers a secondary reaction of aversion to that emotion.
- Mindfulness helps us remain with the primary experience without generating that secondary reaction.
