What is your Favorite Emotion?

[emjay]

The way I understand mindfulness is that it's about nonjudgementally noticing and meta-noticing (noticing noticing, lol) and accepting all your feelings anyway:

There is nothing spooky or irrational about mindfulness, and the literature on its psychological benefits is now substantial. Mindfulness is simply a state of clear, nonjudgmental, and nondiscursive attention to the contents of consciousness, whether pleasant or unpleasant. Developing this quality of mind has been shown to reduce pain, anxiety, and depression; improve cognitive function; and even produce changes in gray matter density in regions of the brain related to learning and memory, emotional regulation, and self-awareness.

That's true. I didn't really mean it in the meditation sense. I meant more in the sense of an awareness of a thought/feeling in the making and the decision at that moment not to feed it and to divert my attention elsewhere.
