“Upright posture has been physiologically proven to have stimulating effects, which can in turn lead to sharper focus and grater awareness. Simply sitting up straight and practicing proper posture (because it is a skill that requires practice if you're usually slouching) can lead to a more alert state of mind and body with which we can see things more mindfully.”

“In the end, we can do many helpful things by structuring our environment, but the world is imperfect and hence there will always be distractions. A true mindfulness habit includes the acceptance of these distractions, and the growing ability to either ignore the useless ones, or to remain mindful while engaging with the uncompromising demands.”

“hanging on intense self-criticisms, and being thoroughly identified with them, can certainly be detrimental to our well-being. Allowing ourselves to be imperfect, however, can be a huge boost to mindfulness.”
