I don't know much about mindfulness, but I sure never understood meditation. I've had friends talk about how great it is to "calm the mind." And I'm always thinking "why the hell would I want to do that? I want to speed up my mind and think about 8 million things at once and be suffused with energy." I'm pretty sure mindfulness would be something I didn't get either. If I focused on my head, it would immediately start to itch. If I focused on my breathing, I'd start sighing and yawning and thinking that I couldn't get enough air, etc. I predict in advance that I'd fail at mindfulness. I like the word you made up.
