3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
My level of success at Mindfulness varied throughout the day and depended more than I would like on circumstances. The back-end of the Weekend Job was quite enjoyable with good banter with both colleagues and customers, so morale was high and mindfulness easier.
My preference would be to have a calm mind regardless of circumstances! However I have to factor in the challenges this character comes with in the first place - intense emotions easily whipped up. This is inherent - something that wasn't chosen. They are a challenge to manage and means that a calm mind is harder to achieve than it would be for other character types.
Self judgement must therefore be on "value-added", progress from the original start point, and the start-point in both nature and nurture was not great from the standpoint of mind-nurturing. I believe some credit is deserved for retaining sanity, let alone a spiritual dimension!
So then, on Value-Added from the original start-point I have done great, and it's a case of making the best of the mind and circumstances this character has got. There has to be an acceptance that this mind is prone to emotionally overheat, so continual conscious effort must be made to keep it cool. I will take every opportunity to generate alpha-waves rather than beta waves!
