Our attitude can have a significant impact on our experiences. If we are upset, simple tasks might become frustrating. If we’re in a happy mood, we might be able to deal with upsetting news a little easier. Attitude influences our perspective, our emotions, and ultimately the way we experience the world around us. With the proper attitude, we can build a better atmosphere to practice mindfulness. These attitudinal foundations work together to set the stage for mindfulness practice. They aren’t meant to be practiced in any specific order, but they are interconnected.
