Do you feel mindless? Do you notice when your mind is just wandering all over the place?
If so, then perhaps you are already on the right track. I came across the following idea in a book I am currently reading, Now Is the Way: An Unconventional Approach to Modern Mindfulness by Cory Allen:
When you realize you are living mindlessly, you are succeeding in living mindfully. Becoming aware that you aren’t engaging with the present is the first step to mindfulness.
p. 22
True growth in spiritual practice begins with the first step we take in the process of working on that practice. This first step is predicated on one’s desire to make a change. Thus, the real first step is recognition. Once we have arrived at recognition, then we can take the next step, which is the first of many active steps along the path of change and growth.
