Mastering MINDLESS Moments
On The Art & Technique Of Living More Mindfully
By Psychologist "Dr. Dan" Matzke, PhD
This book explores keys to mastering mindless moments... and pointers for living life more mindfully. While this is not an "easy" endeavor... many find it to be very worthwhile and meaningful.
Mindless moments often last for only a few seconds to a few minutes... during which one may "forget" something... such as where you put down your keys... or not remembering to lock your car... or having an anger outburst... or saying something you regret later... or having an emotional meltdown.
Other times mindless moments can last for extended periods of time (hours, days, weeks or longer)... during which time one is not mindful of choices and commitments... such as new year's resolutions regarding diet & exercise... or personal goals & aspirations... or committing other acts of indiscretion. Some time later we "wake up" and come to our senses again... realizing that we have been operating in a "mindless mode..". totally oblivious to our previous intentions and plans... or well-being.
Most of the time these mindless moments have minimal consequences. However, sometimes they result in serious problems... such as when driving a car and becoming distracted or not paying full attention to the situation... resulting in an accident... or health problems due to mindless eating habits.
