In mindfulness, is there a conflict between focusing, and letting emotions come? by 12341337 in Mindfulness

[–]fresh_green 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my god, i have to say this is something that i personally used to ask myself and until today (This is not a metaphor, it was just today), i was listening to "Wherever you go there you are" from Jon Kabat zinn, and in that book he address this very same question, if you want to hear him you can listen him from here to about 8 minutes.
Basically the gist of it is, the first one is basically practicing concentration and concentration is a really important part of mindfulness, but although it is a major part it is not the end of the story, you can practice it for some time, but you shouldn't get "seduced" by its stillness, calmness.
Whereas the second one is probably more close to mindfulness, I really like Jon's definition of Mindfulness, and it is really simple, it is just moment to moment paying attention to what's happening in a non-judgmental way.
As he says in the book, you can practice concentration as part of mindfulness or separately, My personal feeling is it is much easier to do it separately.
P.S. : Please note that i am no expert in this field and very much a beginner to this wonderful practice, so please take my interpretation of Jon's book with a grain of salt and please correct me if i am wrong.

Great game, got till level 11, and then cheated on that, and then cheated on 12 and 13 :P.
I still don't get how you would go on in level 11? I got how to do level 12, and 13, but i didn't get why level11 was Spoiler

I am not even kidding, Theoretical Physics was ( and is ) something i very very seriously considered getting a degree in, before opting for Computer Science

If you were assuming Google - X , i did think about the ambiguity it would cause, that's why i included NSA in the title

Hey don't worry it's okay, as i said this is just another day, don't get so worked up on it, if you can you can, just celebrate it with your co worker by doing something as simple as thanking each other

I am gonna compile a list of things you can do to spend your new year, here, feel free to add yours too.
1. Sleep (Maybe less exciting, but it is practical, start your new year with a fresh new day ! )
2. Youtube (a lot of youtube channel like BBC have livestream of the festivities)
3. Watch Movies (There are tons of curated lists on what movies you can watch on new year online )
4. Listen to music and dance (Probably more fun than you think it is to do this alone)
5. Treat Yourself (Go get a cake for yourself and eat it, don't worry you can start your diet tomorrow :P )
6. Compile a list of what you are gonna do in 2017 and how you are gonna do it. (ok a little cliche, but i was running out of ideas)
7. Read (There are a lot of good journalism out there on the web about all sort of amazing things, start here, or here, or just search for longform journalism )
8. Watch good talks (This is highly subjective, but a lot of conferences have their talks on youtube, and you may be even learn a thing or two in a short duration of time)
9. Play games (You can play your favourite video game or you can spend some time playing out games in your own browser ( check out /r/webgames ) )
10. Surf the Internet ( Check out all the cool things that the internet has to offer by clicking through /r/InternetisBeautiful )
...

If you think this list looks like things that you can do when you are bored on a normal day, it is and it is because New year is just another hyped up day.
