Mindfulness Practices to Live Life on Your Own Terms
6 thoughts on “Mindfulness Practices to Live Life on Your Own Terms”
Yes! I agree with this article so much. It has inspired me to live up to my terms instead of society’s terms. When you’re seen as an outcast or not seen as “normal,” everyone is going to not like you or talk to you; they might not even face you. This could even discourage you when you’re not “normal” and you’re just going to go ahead and act like everyone else. But this doesn’t make society better because everyone can’t be the same person. Or else society won’t develop or learn anything. This article is relatable, and I understand the meaning of it. It gave me a bigger idea of who I should be than be someone else.
Thanks so much for your heartfelt comment. I’m thrilled that my article could inspire you to think more deeply about living on your own terms. Our greatest mission in life is to find our true happiness! If we are each truly happy, then the world will become a very different place.
In terms of starting a business, it’s essential to choose your niche or direction from a place inside you which is authentic and genuine. This is the only way we can generate the passion and unswerving devotion to sustaining the business idea we need to succeed. I hope you have read the other mindfulness articles in this series of 5-steps to lead you further on from that foundation of living life on your own terms.

I particularly admire your emphasis on kindness and compassion towards oneself throughout the process, reminding readers to approach self-awareness with gentleness and understanding. This compassionate approach fosters a nurturing environment for self-reflection and growth, encouraging readers to embrace the full spectrum of their humanity with acceptance and grace.

Hi again. You’ve beaten me to it. I recommended mindful practice in your last comment.
Once again, I’m so pleased that you have taken to this so quickly. Your mental health will be well-balanced, you can be sure.
Yes, ‘more intentional and less reactive’ is it. I may quote you on that if I may.
