Live with intention and mindfulness from "summary" of Buddha's Brain by Rick Hanson,Richard Mendius
Living with intention and mindfulness means being aware and purposeful in each moment of your life. It involves paying attention to your thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations without judgment. By doing this, you can cultivate a sense of presence and focus that allows you to respond to situations with wisdom and compassion. Developing mindfulness involves training your attention to be in the present moment. This can be done through practices such as meditation, yoga, or simply taking moments throughout the day to pause and notice your surroundings. By being more aware of your thoughts and feelings, you can begin to understand the patterns and habits that may be causing you suffering. Intention is about setting goals and priorities for yourself based on your values and beliefs. By living with intention, you can make choices that align with what truly matters to you, rather than simply reacting to external circumstances. This can help you feel more in control of your life and create a sense of purpose and direction. When you combine intention with mindfulness, you can bring a greater sense of awareness and clarity to your actions. Instead of being driven by unconscious habits or impulses, you can make conscious choices that support your well-being and the well-being of others. This can lead to greater fulfillment and happiness in your life.- You can cultivate a sense of presence and purpose that can transform how you experience the world. It is a practice that requires commitment and effort, but the benefits of greater awareness and clarity are well worth it. Ultimately, by being more intentional and mindful in your daily life, you can create a sense of peace and contentment that comes from living in alignment with your values and beliefs.
