Can I use Mindfulness to help me to make healthy choices?

Sir Anthony says that it can help but we are all different and it may not be appropriate for everyone. He talks about how the guide could even rotate around a group - which he suggests may be effective.

Sir Anthiony explains that the more used to we are at being still, the less likely we are to engage in activity which is damaging. The more Mindful we become, the more able we become to resist unhealthy behaviours. He talks about learning to be content through Mindfulness.

Sir Anthony explains that there are many ways to get to the ‘still point’ - the point where we are fully self-aware. He says different people find different ways of getting there. He talks about people using music, or calligraphy or even walking as a device to get to a Mindful state.

As an end, Mindfulness is a state of being fulling who you are. The device of Mindfulness is the process of getting to that state. He explains that if the device gets boring or tiring then it isn't the right device for you.

Sir Anthony explains that Mindfulness has to be right for everyone as Mindfulness as an end is about truly in touch with our thought and bodies and relationships. To be full awake. He does say that it may not necessarily be the right time to embark on the journey.

Sir Anthony suggests that we should recognise that we’ve spent a lot of our lives Mindful. He explains that it is just a natural state of being. He talks about athletes being Mindful when they perform. He also talks about Mindfulness being giving up the past and the future and living in the present. Sir Anthony suggests Apps or groups are ways of learning and he himself joined a group 40 years ago.
