Adopted from the following great insight shared by David Rock from the book Your Brain at Work
“Mindfulness is a habit, it’s something the more one does, the more likely one is to be in that mode with less and less effort…it’s a skill that can be learned. It’s accessing something we already have. Mindfulness isn’t difficult. What’s difficult is to remember to be mindful.”
Adopted from the following great quote of David Rock in his book Your Brain At Work
“Mindfulness is a habit, it’s something the more one does, the more likely one is to be in that mode with less and less effort…it’s a skill that can be learned. It’s accessing something we already have. Mindfulness isn’t difficult. What’s difficult is to remember to be mindful.”
David Rock makes a mention of this fact in his book “Your Brain At Work”.
The most difficult part of “Mindfulness” is remembering to be mindful.
We should give ourselves a chance to sense the signals provided by the brain.
As a ritual the author mentions that before a sumptuous dinner , the entire family observe breathing for 3 seconds to stay present and enjoy the moment.
Very insightful.
David Rock in his book “Your Brain At Work” talks two very catchy terms namely “mindfulness” & “interoception“.
Both relate to that circuit of the brain that helps us focus in the present , live for the present moment.Practicing “Mindfulness” through techniques like meditation help us understand and interpret all our incoming brain signals.
This keeps us in better shape in tackling problems and taking resurrective action.
