Not "Mindless Pleasures"

[Mark Kohut]

As predicted, the researchers found "individuals with higher
mindfulness have greater resilience, thereby increasing their life
satisfaction." They note that resilience "can be seen as an important
source of subjective well-being," and point out many ways mindfulness
can promote this state of mind.

"Mindful people ... can better cope with difficult thoughts and
emotions without becoming overwhelmed or shutting down (emotionally),"
they write. "Pausing and observing the mind may (help us) resist
getting drawn into wallowing in a setback."


Perhaps a little indirect wisdom from our young, but not that young,
writer then.
