Mindfulness

Mindfulness enables us to make a similar attitude shift toward all those thoughts, feelings, sensations, and memories that we so readily judge as “problematic”; it enables us to choose the relationship we have with them.

By changing the context from one of fusion and avoidance to one of defusion and acceptance (that is, mindfulness), we alter the function of those thoughts and feelings so they have much less impact and influence over us.
