Over the years I have developed my own kind of mindfulness, which is just trying to be mindful of whatever my mind presents to me, and to try to examine it. This can be difficult, because some of the thoughts are difficult -- many of them are often stigmatized by society. So trying to examine them without condemning them -- any of them -- can be challenging. I think it is the right thing to do, nevertheless.

It is not what everyone seems to mean by mindfulness. It is what I mean, what I find valuable.
