• ~~ ✰~~ …your mind takes on the aspect of your surroundings, and if you’re not aware of what’s going on, your mind can fill with garbage. Therefore, it is very important to be conscious of your surroundings and how they affect your mind. Dalai Lama

  Life doesn’t happen to us – it happens, and then we have choice in how we respond. I believe that we will expand our choices as we realize the importance of staying connected to our feelings and working with them instead of against them. Feelings are merely thoughts that contain evaluative meaning which are entwined with beliefs and subconscious patterns – integral parts of ourselves – and if we choose to listen to our feelings, we can learn more about who we truly are and who we want to be.

Emotion = Thought + Meaning
…you can’t feel without having a thought or a reflex-like semblance of one (e.g. – you see a snake from the corner of your eye and you jump back in fear before you can register consciously what happened).* This is because emotional reactions are built upon your framework for thinking, your belief systems, and assumptions about how the world operates. _site mindful construct

  The mindfulness difference.
  If mindfulness is being more centered within and aware of others, then this is a practice we need to embrace to prevent reacting and focus on responding.
