I didn't know you could do mindfulness wrong.
- decentsafety 3y agoSomeone probably said this about book reading in the past. Me personally, I find it’s about my quality of attention regardless if I am on the screen or not. But I can see that it is easy to confuse familiar things we get lost in and associate to mindlessness.
- thinkling 3y agoAny attempt to be mindful is probably better than no attempt, but I'd say, Yes, there are better and worse ways. One that took me some time to learn is to not put effort or striving into the activity. Especially with that most common form of mindfulness, breath meditation, it's very easy to be very effortful about it. And that's IMO not the path you want.
