the compartmentalization of Mindfulness is like learning about sad and nuanced grown-up realities. Like having a family means almost no time for friends, there is a kind of Career track that is hard to escape, that some hobbies need to give way to work or family, that we can’t have it all, but we can choose what matters. I guess I wanted it to be a silver bullet. Mindfulness is like an Exercise or Studying routine – you do it only some of the day but the effects are felt the rest of the day, and over time you feel its effects more in many aspects of our life.
it’s just so weird that its an exercise of being this “different person” – someone who is interconnected, less judgmental, more present… reminds me of how I “role play” the Boss, the Employee, the Student, the Good Son, the Father etc… lolz. Now I should find time to roleplay – the meditator lolz.
