Mindful Awareness

Have you tried being mindful?
Being mindful of the every single thing you're doing,
being mindful of your surroundings, your environment,
the words you speak the message you send across.

Mindful awareness is one of the topics our Psychopathology professor recommended us to read.
Well, it was categorized under "suggested readings"
But knowing the kiasu-ness in us Asians,
of cos read la.
And boy, am I glad I did.

And somehow this resonates with the other philosophies I have come to adopt as my own throughout the years.
To live in the present,
to live life to the fullest, basically.
And it requires a great amount of meta-cognition.

Simply, are you aware of your own thoughts?
Are you thinking about what you're currently thinking about? 

And one might think that an accidental spill here, another accidental bruise there would be due to butter fingers or bad coordination.
But really, it reflects how one isn't in the present condition.
However, that doesn't mean one isn't totally NOT mindful.
He or she may be mindful about other things - such as mindfully daydreaming.

I can go on and on...

Anyway, hope you're being mindful about your thoughts and emotions today!
Set your path where you want it to be.
