This method at least is working to some degree toward strengthening my mindfulness. I think mindfulness is a very important practice because it helps us break the cycle of reactivity. We react most of the time which causes us further pain and troubles.
I've heard mindfulness is something you have to practice and get to a point where you do automatically. My head is too consumed with other thoughts to stop and be mindful, but it's worth working on.
