My sister had all the edge pieces in a separate small plastic bag, then had divided the rest into three sections - top, middle and lower. This made it a bit easier to do.

I can see how working on a puzzle can be meditative--I wonder if more people meditated, if that would lead to a calmer, more compassionate world--

I think meditation can be very rewarding. And you could well be right.

'Influencers' is another buzz word that is now popular. You never heard of influencers in days gone by.

Meta attentive awareness is a phrase one does not hear everyday. We get asked to be mindful in so many ways it gets to be meaningless.

Any reason why that puzzle got the name mindfulness?

No idea. They might be just playing into the name hoping for better sales. It's a peaceful scene and 'One Piece At A Time' is written on the box which might be a mindfulness sort of thing.

Mindfulness is a word that I knew, but I was not sure of the exact meaning, now I know. People use less and less words, that is a shame.

@Dreamerby It's always been in the dictionary. It's a new 'buzz word' not a new word.

@Dreamerby I didn't say it was a new word but a new 'buzz word'. Businesses are now based on 'miindfulness'.

There was an item on Radio 4 about 'manifesting'. I guess that is the latest fad. The person they were interviewing and knock out a couple of books about it as well as lectures and online seminars

This word has been pushed onto us in recent years. It’s the fix for all mental health issues, apparently. Living in the moment and all that. We are all stressed out, so need to forget all our troubles by just breathing and thinking nice thoughts. It’s big in the corporate world to try and reduce the number of days off sick and increase productivity. Fortunately I’m out of that game now.

You're quite correct in all you say. There are so many now with mental health issues. We're out of the corporate game too thankfully.

Ya dummy! Why'd ya forget. Wait. That's not mindful. Heh. I've been hearing this word for years. I do like the "relaxed and paying attention" life from an old Byrds song. I'll see if I can find it.

Of course, mindfulness infers that we live mostly from our mind. Maybe we should be mindless, instead, and try to live from our hearts, so that the mind just functions for us as it should, as a useful tool, rather than sharpening it too much through mindfulness, that it just pricks others with its proud pointedness, rather than spreading a message of love instead.
