Training quote of the day #56: Amishi P. Jha, PhD

  

From Peak Mind by Amishi P. Jha, PhD:

To Reclaim Your Whiteboard, Press Play  

I used to think mindfulness was about hitting the "pause" button, which to me always felt artificial or idealistic. Life has no pause button - why pretend it does? But when we're talking about stabilizing attention and developing a peak mind, what we're actually looking for is a play button. We need to stop holding down the rewind or fast-forward buttons and stay in play, to experience every note in the song of our lives, to hear and take in what's happening around us.
