Friday five questions
Yeah, cause I am bored.
From the altfriday5:
1. How mindful (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mindfulness) would you say you are in general? Rather annoying question since I am not a practicing buddhist and don't understand the concept at all. Possibly I read the whole wikipedia article, but it goes into the practice of Mindfulness, not the actual definition. After reading it a bit, I would say I am Mindful 40% of the time. I often get caught up in my thoughts, thinking that they are a reality, and getting upset from them. Othertimes, I take that thought and see it simply as a thought and let it go.
2. At what times are you most mindful? When I am in a good, positive mood. Yesterday I was bouncing about in that mood for a while.
3. At what times are you least mindful? Obviously when I am angry or upset. I also enjoy playing over conversations (made-up ones) in my head, just so I know how I would tell someone off. It's practice, yo.
4. Do you do anything specifically to help increase your mindfulness (e.g. meditate)? If yes, what do you do? WHenever I catch myself getting caught up in angry and frustrated thoughts, I will step back and give myself a little chat about how they are just thoughts, they do not affect reality, and that I should let them go.
5. How judgmental would you say you are of your own thoughts and feelings? Very judgmental.
From the FridayFiver:
1. What is your local lake/river/sea? Buh. I think Lake Michigan was the prettiest, but the Pacific Ocean is really pretty.
2. Do you believe in dragons and unicorns? I can only hope they exist.
3. What is your favorite fruit? Raspberry. XD yumyum.
4. Do you smoke? No.
5. Friday fill-in:
Together they would defeat legendary beasts and save the two races, but they would never see their old lives again .
