Thread: Neat little trick/mantra for mindfulness

I realized yesterday, that, if you are aware of being distracted, you are not distracted anymore, you are aware. That's it that's the trick. This way of seeing mindfulness suddenly made it come super easy to me. I notice how distracted I am and how hard it is for my mind not to wander and be chaotic, and by noticing this I become mindful, because noticing it is the definition of being mindful. I am mindful for much longer at a time and more frequently just by realizing mindfulness can be as easy as noticing my previous unmindfulness, and I don't understand why it is so effective.

I'll think about this a little more over the following days, but I just wanted to share this for now. Tell me what you think and maybe try it out
