‘Mindfulness’ can mean:

* Paying attention to our bodies, mind, and spirit, from within and outside our selves, in an objective, non-judgmental way.

* Acceptance.

* Aware of emotional patterns.

Learn to observe yourself in a non-judgmental way through a ‘mindfulness’ exercise.

To begin, get into a comfortable position, become relaxed and start noticing what is happening to your body, inside and outside without passing judgment on what you find.

* Notice and become aware of feelings, emotional and physical, inside and out.

* Become aware of what you see, colors, images, moving pictures, or even words or numbers.

* What do you hear, inside and out, volume, tone, positive or negative, etc?

* Also become aware of any tastes or smells and notice physiological changes as you notice these senses.

Expand this exercise as much as you want to. All it requires is for you to be objective and notice what you notice about yourself. When you have completed this exercise you can then choose to deal with any issue you become aware of.
