Mindfulness Practices to Live Life on Your Own Terms

6 thoughts on “Mindfulness Practices to Live Life on Your Own Terms”

  1. 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.

    • 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.
