Unravelling the Mindful Myths đ§”
#1
âItâs a quick fixâ
Itâs a lifelong learning experience. Not one and done. Like a distance runner, we build mindful muscle.
#2
âThereâs âno thinkingâ in Mindfulnessâ
Thinking is never the enemy in mindfulness. We can witness them without labelling and
not follow the story.
#3
âPassiveâ
Mindfulness isnât disengaging from life. Itâs curious & open connection with the world and others daily.
#4
âAll about meâ
An investment in self-care + being mindfully aware builds empathy and compassion for others too.
#5
âNo timeâ
We can all find 5 mins to pay attention. More mindful mins = more space. We rewire our brains for healthy habits.
#6
âAvoiding problemsâ
Our emotional difficulties soon surface in presence. We witness non-judgementally treating with self-compassion, not denial.
#7
âOnly sittingâ
wonât make you mindful! Paying attention to your experience ânowâ as you sit, stand, eat or walk, will.
#8
âEasyâ
We notice how much we live in future and past. Our struggles too. Living more ânowâ is never easy.
#9
âJust relaxingâ
Yes we gain tools and strategies to relax & de-stress. But growth in awareness is our path to root causes.
#10
âNo scienceâ
The evidence base grows daily. But not as fast as âyourâ mindful experience. We learn to trust this.
