‘Mindful Awareness’ at Psychology, Philosophy and Real Life

I think that values can affect our relationship with technology in two ways: the why and the how.

Perhaps next time I will be successful… Perhaps it will only take once more…. How would you feel if you stopped just before you were going to be successful and so robbed yourself of what you had been hoping for…?

The point of contemplating our future death is to bring us back to a vivid consciousness of the here and now. The purpose is to clarify the choices we have, to have a sense of our priorities so that we can take steps to shape our lives around them.

It seems to me that our modern busyness has the flavour of tight focus, linearity and being goal directed.

Sometimes the direct approach to changing a habit doesn’t work. This I think can especially be the case with relationship habits. When we set about changing our habitual ways of relating we can find that our emotions get stirred up.
