Never tell a doctor what you 'have' they will immediately look for reasons why you don't. I stopped going after a while and figured it out for myself, when I went back for treatment, they told me I was wrong.

I wore uniforms for 12 years, I loved it. I never had to worry about what to pick out of a closet every day. I still wear a "uniform" to work even though it's not required. It's just easy, and less of a distraction. I wore the same clothes in college as well.

Modern Mindfulness is the down to earth, secular practice of keeping a clear head, being in control of your thoughts and emotions not by ignoring them, but feeling them and then grounding to the moment using all of your senses, and repeating the process.

Don't expect to go from chaos to bliss just because you have decided to improve.
It takes practice, like learning an instrument, or training for a race.
Find solace in your decision to improve.

To spend so much time figuring out your past, or 'unlearning' is meant just to coddle your ego.

Sometimes it's better to find a neutral state of mind.
It may be too big of a swing to get from a negative to a positive.
Negative to neutral, positive to neutral. Be in flow with the full spectrum of human emotions.
Neutral is a state of mindfulness.

You don't know what to do with your mind between thoughts, so you fill it with them, every waking moment. Between thoughts, turn to the details of the present moment, actively observing with all of your senses.

You don't need a dedicated or quiet space to practice Mindfulness.
