I struggle with mindfulness
Experience tells me that mindfulness is not a solution as it is advertised -- unless it's a habit (the state of mindfulness itself) upon a habit (certain perceptions and thoughts that favors mental health) upon a habit (during any daily activity).
Yes -- I described 3 stacks of 'habits'.
I can be mindful -- but it doesn't necessarily mean it makes me a better decision maker; doesn't necessarily mean more regulated or less overwhelmed at any moment.
It just makes me better at attending something at the present.
I can stop and pause. But it just stops there.
It's not as useful as it sounds unless you're the type who rather just avoid problems instead of inclined on solving any.
But the relationship between executive functioning issues AND habits are...
Might explain why it doesn't work to some NDs.
My conclusion of missing prerequisite that relates to forming and performing habits, or a missing prerequisite that made greater attention span relevant to other areas of executive function.
Except, those who can follow through by making a strict routine or brute forced through reminders and task switching. And I imagine it to be very tiring...
In any case; I'm good with mindfulness.
Being present is, after all, one of my inclinations.
Except I have missing prerequisites that made it matter or more useful.
And it's more like... Preventing something negative than adding something positive.
I don't struggle with something, but I don't thrive with something either... Yet, I also don't thrive under struggle either.
I have some knacks, sure...
But don't actually know the right place of where I will thrive, I only know that I avoid pitfalls of being in the wrong place.
Hmmm...
Might be why I'm not satisfied with my life.
