Habitual mindfulness practice gradually erodes our tendency to constantly interfere with the natural flow of being alive.

Everyone is already training their attention. It's just that most of us don't realize that we're reinforcing our capacity for internal friction. 

Mindfulness meditation has a lot in common with practicing the piano. Both require clear instruction, consistent effort, and falling in love with the process instead of obsessing over the results. They are also both about finding tangible ways to navigate the abstract murkiness of time.

It’s so much more difficult to focus on what’s within your control than on all the things that aren’t.

Setting limits, establishing healthy habits, and doing things that are good for us can be super uncomfortable. It can feel reassuring to practice embracing the discomfort related to behaviors we don’t regret.

Mindfulness only seems strange to people who don’t yet know it’s possible to exercise their attention to feel more alive.

We live in a data-driven world but what it takes to thrive can’t be measured.

Beauty and wonder might be closer than you realize.
