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

I don't like being told not to take my dog for a walk!

Yeah it's almost like thinking positively is easy you know it's not like human thought processes, behavioural patterns and general mental wellbeing is anything other than easy breezy for absolutely everyone.

Therapists will be out of a job soon. Depressed? Cheer up! It's easy!

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?

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

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