"This is my take on mindfulness. Maybe I'm off, but I see mindfulness activities to be in conflict with the ultimate goal of becoming more aware of our environment (internal/external).
I'm a quite hypervigilant person and I'm very aware of my external environment. I notice things that others fail to notice. I pick up on details that are inconsequential to many."
Mindfulness is awareness of this present moment, so how can it be in conflict with the goal of becoming more aware?
Hypervigilance is a set of behaviors that is an example of heightened arousal not mindful awareness.
Mindfulness is a state of calm peaceful awareness of the present moment.
