People can benefit from mindfulness whether they have a specific problem or not … Developing greater awareness can open us to seeing how the mind becomes entangled in and blinded by its own liking and disliking, pursuing and rejecting when we try to maximise our happiness. Mindfulness helps us see with greater clarity how we may approach our moment-by-moment experience skilfully, taking more pleasure in the good things that often go unnoticed or unappreciated, and dealing more effectively with the difficulties we encounter, both real and imagined.
