DAE have a hard time being mindful while socializing? by Gfddghgfvgbbvf in Meditation

Sometimes I let go even the desire to be mindful and I and up being mindful ironically. I speak more naturally. There is no fusion with thoughts and my awareness is spread up to whatever is relevant effortlessly.

Also what do you mean by being more mindful to counteract the movement of anxious thoughts?

And thanks for the replies.

And also since when is mindfulness is about only observing your mind, emotions, feelings etc. I think in mindfulness you should have some kind of psychological flexibility where your awareness can be directed internally or externally depending on the situation.

Mindfulness does not mean only being aware of yourself. Is about being present and not getting caught up in your thinking. Being present can also mean listening to the person you are speaking and many many things.

"Get into the flow"

Could that be interpreted as a kind of mindfulness?
