I think that's so true, Lucy... mindfulness IS about approaching life in a totally different way, not necessarily doing certain things.
I have, at times, fallen into the trap of "ticking off meditation off my to-do list" and calling it mindfulness. One Yoga teacher said that we can't actually meditate, we can only become meditative, which is probably much closer to the truth than our culture's current approach to meditation/mindfulness.

OOO LOVE THAT comment from your yoga teacher, totally sums it up! Thanks for sharing! x
You’re very welcome!
Love this:
'The real power of mindfulness isn’t what you do in the moment.
It’s who you become between the moments.'
