"A general attitude of kindness and care help prevent the reinstatement of old habits of thinking by showing us that it is possible to approach unwanted experiences with a gentle curiosity and, in doing so, develop a different relationship to them.

Mindfulness is not just about paying (or shifting) attention but more about the quality of attention that is being paid.
See what happens when you practice being kind to your experiences, and gentle with yourself when old habits of mind threaten."
-Zindel Segal
