Preview KEW Episode 84: Mindfulness and Mindset

What do you think about when you hear the words ‘Mindfulness’ or ‘Mindset’?

You might be indifferent. Many are.

You might be opposed to these terms or they may induce a knee-jerk reaction, like, ‘More mumbo-jumbo hippie talk.’ Or something negative, at least.

Many of you, of course, will recognize these terms but have varying familiarity with what the words really mean in practice.

Funny how that is. We all think we know the meaning of words only to find out it is hard to define them. It’s like studying for a test in school. You think you get the gist of the material, but then when you take the test you find you don’t really know it as well as you THOUGHT you did.

I think all this Mindfulness, Meditation, Mindset, Awareness, Gratitude, and Attention stuff is like that. We think we get it, but we don’t really get it until we DO IT. Or at least experience it a little bit.

So this week I offer you my experience with the concepts of Mindfulness and Mindset. What they are to me, why the media and status quo presentations are a disservice to you, and how you can actually use these things to your benefit.

All in an effort to share how I’ve made my life better by familiarizing myself with these age-old ideas.
