Mindfulness involves not only noticing where your mind goes when it wanders, but also gently bringing it back to the focus on breath, eating, walking, loving, or working.
When you do this repeatedly over months or years, you begin to retrain your runaway amygdala.
Like a good CEO, you begin to know when your mind is checked out or spinning its wheels, and you can gently guide it to get back with the program.
When it tries to take off on its own, you can gently remind it that’s it’s an interdependent and essential part of the whole enterprise of YOU.
