The books you read, the movies you watch, the food you eat, virtually all your experiences for better or worse lead to who you become.

Many people flock to fun videos online, self-selected to keep you scrolling. Your attention has been sold on the open market to the highest paying advertizer without even realizing it.

Impulses fade away if you can pause and ask, “Is there any evidence that what I want to do is better than just sitting?”

Mindfulness is the ability to pause, feel an impulse come, and then drop it.
