We can't change every little thing that happens to us in life, but we can change the way that we experience it.
Andy PuddicombeWe canโt change every little thing that happens to us in life, but we can change the way that we experience it. Thatโs the potential of meditation, of mindfulness. You donโt have to burn any incense, and you definitely donโt have to sit on the floor. All you need to do is to take 10 mins out a day to step back; to familiarise yourself with the present moment so that you get to experience a greater sense of focus, calm and clarity in your life.
Andy PuddicombeMost people assume that meditation is all about stopping thoughts, getting rid of emotions, somehow controlling the mind. But actually it's ... about stepping back, seeing the thought clearly, witnessing it coming and going.
