What Is Mindfulness?

Mindfulness means active awareness, sensitivity to process (versus
outcome), conscious control over our thoughts and behaviour, attending to context, and trust of our intuition... our minds constantly create patterns. The mind generalizes prototypes from our experiences into patterns that enable us to react appropriately in new situations that have similar problem-solving needs. This helps us walk through doorways, skim newspapers, and pay bills. But sometimes we need to turn off our "autopilotespecally it the pattern is one that we do not want to continue. Interrupting the patterns that we would like to change by increasing our mindfulness provides us with the opportunity to make a conscious choice instead of continuing to operate by automatic reflexes.
