Being mindful helps mental wellbeing and it’s a useful tool to maintain positivity. Why would you want to get rid of it?

How does feeling positive make you positive?

Well when you have Donald Trump for an avatar, I can understand why you have your doubts.

It’s all in the mind and the thought process, hence why it’s called mindfulness. I can’t provide concrete evidence but only through expressing positivity to people by a thoughtful message can encourage love and positivity. Even when you try this Katie Hopkins facade, you still have love inside of you. Please stop trying to be edgy and unique. We’re all aware of your existence x

Spread positivity LT. Make someone feel better about themselves and don’t bring them down :love: The trolling is not a passion, but it’s just something that keeps you entertained. This world is in enough chaos as it is and just by helping someone, you are doing a good deed.

yes and its bollocks like that I am talking about. Its already been done in the 70s and it did no good and now its been repackaged

mindfulness is abvout marketing and sales

its how you sell books and articles


If you can see that id say that is positive as you understand a little about how the world actually works

But in the 70’s and 80’s where black people were subjected to racism by far right groups, it’s those same articles and books that you’re talking about that help shed some positive light and try to bring about change for the better. I’m only young and judging by how you talk to other people and undermine them, I’d say you’re a little older

I don’t know how the world works, you’re right. But I’ve experienced enough as a person to know that positivity does help people. You just haven’t tried it

[Marsh.]

Mindfulness costs nothing.

There's people who exploit all kinds to make a quick buck.

Doesn't make the actual concept of mindfulness rubbish.

People who buy self help books that show you how to tidy your bathroom, well... to each their own I guess.

[Twosugars]

Mindfulness was developed by psychotherapists to help people overcome destructive emotions and patterns of behaviour.

Idgi why some take the piss :shrug:

[Marsh.]

are most people overwhelmed? that would intimate the majority of people can't cope with day to day living?

No it doesn't.

It means most people have themselves in a cycle of stress juggling aspects of their lives and are all trapped in their own "bubbles". People rarely stop and just take each day as it comes rather than being locked in their own head.

For some that would exacerbate other problems with anxiety, depression etc.

[Marsh.]

what rubbish :joker:

People don't get overwhelmed and stressed?

If you say so.

It's basically helping people who get stuck in negative thought processes and behavioural patterns.

It's not rubbish just because a few idiots make money from crap books.

It's like suggesting workout routines are pointless because people like Chanelle Hayes make crappy ones.

take your pick
either it is serious and stems from willful or accidental misunderstanding of the concept (misunderstanding very resistant to correction I should add)
or it's not and it represents...what? trolling?

How is it baiting, lol, it was put up for discussion, if people are secure in their mindfulness they shouldn't have a problem

My problem with it is that it is a bog standard list of things that most people should be doing without having to told to do it, the other one I would add to is to do some type of work either paid or voluntary because routine is great for the mind

Well, I saw it that way because essentially the OP was just telling everyone that we should all take a negative attitude towards life not do anything that would make someone feel good about themselves, which I saw as being intended to wind people up and give a reaction and it looks like the OP has succeeded

[Marsh.]

Is there anything on that list that has come as a shock to you...have a bath..? I mean really? if only it were that simple

"That list" No. I'm not the one pretending mindfulness is simple. You're quoting the wrong person.

Like summing up a cooking book as a list of foods and saying "I mean really?".

Who said things have to be shocking or mindblowing? When suffering mental illness the mind doesn't tend to operate rationally.

Oh dear. What you going to do? Conduct a survey? Get them to sign statements?

The best of luck with it x

[Twosugars]

tbh, as Marsh said earlier, the concept of mindfulness has at times been hijacked by some crap merchants

the way my therapist explained it is about being mindful of what we do and why and hopefully making changes starting with micro-behaviours
it's about reflecting on what we feel and think in the moment and drilling down to find out why we think/feel this way

the stuff in the op picture is more about wellness than mindfulness so I'm not quite sure LT is attacking the right thing

[Marsh.]

Exactly. Anyone can break anything down to buzzwords to ridicule something. Doesn't make it valid.
