“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.”

“Challenging ourselves to go a little past our comfort zones is always a part of growth. But burning out on any given activity, good or bad, can also be avoided by simply knowing when to take a break. Give yourself permission to put it down and return to it later with a fresh slate.”

“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.”
