How to approach Mindfulness
Imagine your mind is a highway with many lanes, and you are sitting at the side of the highway, easily watching your thoughts (i.e. vehicles) pass by.
The mind is the sky. Your thoughts are the clouds. There can be heavy clouds, light clouds, white clouds, dark-grey clouds, but at the end, and as we all know what happens when you fly in a plane, the sky is always blue, no matter how many clouds are beneath it.
Don't try to desperately hold on to good experience, and embrace bad experiences. This can be done by consciously thinking that when you have a good experience, you share it with others, whereas when you have a bad experience you would imagine that you would hold these bad experiences for someone else that you care for, so that that person does not have to experience this.
