  • Sometimes the things preventing us from being mindful are also the reasons why being mindful would be so beneficial in the first place.

    That is a really interesting point! It never occurred to me, but you’re right

    There are lots of good people, but lots of jerks too. I find where I live, it’s really common for people to just be casually… mean to each other? Especially in a work setting. It drives me crazy, I feel like people need to wake up to how we affect each other.
