Catherine Bell explains mindfulness as present-moment awareness without judgment. She describes the "monkey mind" that generates millions of thoughts daily, and frames mindfulness as training your mind to serve you instead of controlling you.
So say that again. Being aware. Mindfulness is being aware in the present moment without judgment. And if you really start to pay attention to your thought processes because your brain, your mind is wild. You know, you talk about the monkey mind. It is a monkey mind, and there are millions of thoughts that are kind of given off minute by minute by second by second. I don't know. I don't know what the number is, but there's millions of thoughts in a day, right? Just kind of don't really kind of train this instrument. It has us instead of us having it, right?
