mindfulness

it's the new Netflix.

I mean it obviously absolutely isn't, but how nice would it be if after a tough day people started sending you home with good advice, like, "get yourself off and do a spot of mindfulness hun". Instead of, "you'll need a wine later!". We are absolutely terrible as a culture for disparaging our abilities to feel better by using what we already have - ourselves. Mindfulness is your inherent and - often untapped skill, a way of calming your mind and centring your focus.

you can be mindful doing just about anything

Mindfulness is the act of being present, observant, self aware & non-judgemental.
How often do you find yourself being engaged in general chit chat, on the receiving end of someone else's ramble,
all the while being on a complete and utter conversation vacation and remembering approximately zero of what was discussed? 
This is a really easy example of how we experience mindlessness, rather than one mindedness.
