It requires intention and commitment from "summary" of Mindfulness (HBR Emotional Intelligence Series) by Harvard Business Review,Daniel Goleman,Ellen Langer,Susan David,Christina Congleton
To cultivate mindfulness, one must approach it with purpose and dedication. This involves making a conscious decision to prioritize mindfulness in one's life and committing to the practices that support it. Without intention and commitment, mindfulness becomes simply a fleeting idea rather than a sustainable way of being. Intention is the starting point of mindfulness. It is the act of setting an intention to be present, aware, and nonjudgmental in each moment. This intention acts as a guiding light, reminding us of our commitment to mindfulness when distractions and challenges arise. It is the foundation upon which mindfulness practices are built, providing a sense of direction and purpose in our journey towards greater self-awareness and clarity. Commitment is what sustains mindfulness over time. It is the ongoing dedication to regular practice, despite the inevitable ups and downs of life. Commitment requires perseverance and resilience, as well as a willingness to prioritize mindfulness even when other demands compete for our attention. It is through commitment that mindfulness becomes integrated into our daily routines, transforming it from a concept into a way of life. Together, intention and commitment form the bedrock of mindfulness practice. They provide the motivation and the discipline needed to cultivate mindfulness in a meaningful and sustainable way. Without intention, mindfulness lacks direction and purpose. Without commitment, mindfulness lacks the consistency and perseverance required for lasting change. By approaching mindfulness with both intention and commitment, we lay the groundwork for a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
