Episode 2984:

David Cain's insightful piece on mindfulness reveals how it transforms our daily experiences, reducing impulsiveness and the need for external stimuli. He connects mindful living with decreased reliance on smartphones and a greater appreciation of life's ordinary moments, offering a profound perspective on how mindfulness fosters contentment and inner confidence.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.raptitude.com/2015/11/mindfulness-is-the-opposite-of-neediness/

Quotes to ponder:

"Whenever you're being mindful, the present moment doesn't seem to need improvement."

"Mindfulness is the opposite of neediness."

"This fearing and hoping we attach to many experiences is a kind of visceral neediness—a demand for the present moment to be easier, safer, or more comforting than it actually is."
