Are you a mindful person?

I try to be, but I’m curious how you define “mindful”.

Thoughtful of other people OR trying to live in and appreciate the moment OR something else?

@cookieman -Being in the moment, awareness of the present time and one’s actions within it. I mangled some things during work yesterday because I was not concentrating on the task at hand.
Usually, when I do any artwork, it kind of puts me in a mindful state. It is one of the reasons I enjoy it so much.
Yesterday was a different story though. Today, I will try a better approach.:)

Sometimes, but it always requires an act of will to get started. My thoughts fly about like starlings, it takes some work to corral them.

Sometimes. But not as much as I would like to be.

@canidmajor Starlings flitting about, escaping capture. I like that imagery.

Yes, far more so than most people I know. People tend to think I’m an emotionless machine, but I just hide it better than most until I’m alone.

More scatter brained flibbitygibbit!
I would forget my head if it wasn’t screwed on.

@ucme Then that means your wife is the focused one, right?! haha!

@KNOWITALL Oh absolutely haha!

Yes, sometimes to the point of my own detriment.

@Kardamom -How so?

I think about what is happening, and how to deal with it, all the time, and sometimes it is very stressful. I’ve noticed that “go with the flow” people seem to have a lot less stress, even if their life goes to shit, or has always been shit, because they just don’t care, because they don’t think about it.

@Kardamom – I see :)
