Waking up to what is happening around us now rather than letting ourselves drift away in thoughts of the past or future is the aim of mindfulness practice. It doesn\u2019t always happen instantaneously and we maintain the point of view that it is best to be compassionate with ourselves in the process so as not to create any negative associations with mindfulness practice.  See if there are any useful ideas in here that you can add to your current program, or use to start a mindfulness practice. If something resonates with you that we did not discuss, we\u2019d love to hear about it and perhaps we\u2019ll talk about it on a future podcast. Thanks for listening and have a great day ","author_name":"Mindful Matters w Chris Griffin, LPC &amp; Burke Lewis","author_url":"http:\/\/www.griffincounselingct.com","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/16063298\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/83836079"}
