Summary: Practicing mindfulness in order to perform mindfully is the topic of this episode. One of the reasons we meditate every day is to develop mindfulness. Meditation is called a practice, because it is something we repeatedly do so that we become better at being mindful. We want to learn to be mindful not only during meditation, but throughout the day as we work, eat, and interact with society. In other words, we want to practice mindfulness during our meditation time so that we can perform mindfully in everyday life.
