Mindfulness

He’s a kook, a nut, just plum crazy!
I’ve been called a kook, a nut, crazy and a bunch of other stuff…particularly when it comes to many of my unorthodox, unconventional points of view! So it’s nice when one of my beliefs is validated by a reputable source.
Monday morning I read an article in the Harvard Business Review about mindfulness…how practicing mindfulness can improve and enhance one’s ability to make better choices. I believe mindfulness is a skill that can benefit everyone and is worth pursuing. For me, mediation and or contemplation provide an access point to mindfulness.
Dictionary.com defines mindfulness as “a technique in which one focuses one’s full attention only on the present, experiencing thoughts, feelings, and sensations but not judging them:
The practice of mindfulness can reduce stress and physical pain.
The practice of mindfulness connects us with a deeper sense of purpose and joy. We discover how to find peace during difficult times, and we learn to take inspired action from a place of heart.
“One second can be the difference between achieving desired results or not. One second is all it takes to become less reactive and more in tune with the moment. In that one second lies the opportunity to improve the way you decide and direct, the way you engage and lead. That’s an enormous advantage for leaders in fast-paced, high-pressure jobs.”—Harvard Business Review
