      That’s why I hate the insertion of “mindfulness” into every type of self-help.

      Motherfucker, did it ever occur to you that my hyper-awareness of shit is part of the cause of my problems?

        Sometimes mindfulness is more of a soft awareness. Not really thinking or knowing about anything in particular.

        I also don’t like how it’s used, because I have the same problem as you describe. It reminds me of trying to maintain a stoic perspective, being non-intellectually aware of sensations in your body, and trying to focus on what you can control.
