Mindfulness is the practice of allowance and permission for you to be human. To have feelings, reactions and responses to situations.  By giving permission, takes the sting out of the feelings, similar to reverse psychology. Another way of viewing the acts of mindfulness is seeing yourself with compassionate and empathetic eyes.  

You are a collection of experiences, which when triggered will come through, but I will challenge you.  To consider the cost of staying in pain and suffering by blaming, judging and holding onto your reactions when things do not go to plan, or you are activated, or your knee jerk reaction comes through before you have a chance to notice. 

What if, with practice you were able to see these reactions and responses simply raw data. Simply information.  Are you able to stop, see and let it be?  Is it possible for you to thank the information and choose a different response of action as a consequence of this data coming to the fore?   

What wold you like to create different, with the new insight and information?  As your awareness, allowance and non-judgement skills strengthen, are you able to celebrate this win and encourage yourself all the more to continue practicing the art of awareness without controlling each thought? 

Ready to consider a different way of seeing yourself, and possibly a different way of seeing mindfulness. 

Take away the judgement, blame and projection onto your past showing up in the present and see you different you feel, interact and heal
