Hi @abigail-dantes, I feel like mindfulness is a 're-invention' of the concept of mental-fitness that complements physical-fitness as part of a holistic view on our health and well-being. I don't preach or teach about mental fitness as much as I try to help people see the link between our mind & body, and in doing so help them use different exercise to build on their overall fitness.
You 'homework' or exercise is one of many different methods I use in workshops and classes that I do try to run (using origami techniques and exercises to apply mental fitness concepts), and I would be interested in having a chat about mental fitness from a psychology perspective.
My Gosh ... what can I say about this comment? You are right (Even though I am not very fond of the word 're-invention' here)! The integration of physical and mental well-being is absolutely paramount and you seem to be very knowledgeable about this holistic approach!
Thank you for taking part of this discussion :)
I am not particularly fond of the word 're-invention' either :p I think in a way we continually try to understand and interpret the universal truth about life, so that everything is a remix of ideas from the past and the present.
I think no one can claim to be knowledgeable about the balance between the mind and body unless they know very little about what there is to know, so I prefer to keep learning and sharing what I do know with those that are also striving to learn more about it :)
Beautiful comment @plushzilla
