Q: <\/strong>So today I had a \u201cbad moment\u201d \u2013 got stressed and upset about a work situation. My first thought was to let go of the negative thoughts that were running in my brain by actively taking in the good. Then I wondered if that meant I was running away from (ignoring or more importantly trying to change) the negative feelings in my mind\/body, which seemed counter to mindfulness.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
Mindfulness<\/a> is a means to an end, not an end in itself.<\/li>\n
Mindfulness itself is sustained attention to something, typically with some meta-cognitive awareness of the quality of one\u2019s attention. Mindfulness itself is morally neutral. A burglar could be very mindful. If people want, they can add other qualities to the mindfulness, such as an attitude of acceptance and friendliness toward the objects of attention, such as toward whatever may pass through the mind.<\/li>\n
Mindfulness itself does not try to change the objects of attention. But mindfulness is not necessarily the only thing happening in the mind! If one likes, one could add some effort, hopefully wise, to change the objects of attention. A person could be mindful of her stress and negative thoughts for a while; then she could both be mindful and make an effort to shift what is in her mind; finally, she could be mindful of the results of her efforts.<\/li>\n
As you can see, a certain set of presumptions have grown up around mindfulness in the past few decades that actually are additions to the original idea, notably the original idea promoted by the Buddha 2500 years ago. In particular, people talk as if an explicit stance against working with the contents of awareness is innate feature of mindfulness, and it is not. I recommend ready my paper, the Noble Eightfold Path<\/i><\/a> <\/i>for more on this.<\/li>\n
Mindfulness itself is always helpful. And sometimes it is useful for a person to drop any effort to shift contents of awareness in any direction whatsoever; sometimes this kind of \u201cchoiceless awareness<\/a>\u201d alone helps negative thoughts release.<\/li>\n
But often mindfulness alone is not enough. A lot of crud fills the mind, and it persists because the brain is a physical object that does not tend to change unless something changes it (in effect, Newton\u2019s First Law). When you appreciate how embodied we are, and how much the brain is a learning organ that builds structure that it maintains unless it is actually changed, you get very interested in effective and efficient effort. Since neurons that fire together, wire together, keeping negative material in awareness can actually deepen its hold upon you.<\/li>\n
In essence, there are two great elements in psychological healing, everyday well being and effectiveness, personal growth, and spiritual practice: being with<\/i> and working with<\/i> (in Buddhism: Right Mindfulness and Right Effort<\/a>). These are the two great wings that help us fly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Each wing has strengths. And the wings work together: mindfulness improves our efforts, and it takes skillful effort to be stably mindful.<\/p>\n
\n
Then you can make a free and wise choice, moment by moment, as to what will do the most good for oneself, or one\u2019s client: lean toward pure mindfulness, or lean toward mindful efforts. Both are beautiful, and help us fly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
