Practical steps to live in the present and stop overthinking with everyday meditation and mindfulness.

If you’re feeling emotionally absent in your own life, something needs to change. If you can’t focus on the present moment, and keep drifting to past regrets or future dangers, something needs to change. That change is mindfulness meditation.

Tame your anxious and negative emotions and stay even-keeled no matter what.

Mindful Master is a spotlight on how to focus on the now, which is to focus on happiness and gratitude. All we have is the present moment, and cultivating this skill is the key to fulfillment. This book brings mindfulness and meditation into simple, everyday practices for you to become the best version of yourself.The modern world pulls us 100 different directions at once, so it’s easy to become lost and overwhelmed. Mindful Master is the tool you need to downsize your thoughts and focus only on what matters.

Mindfulness and meditation in plain English for both beginners and veterans.

Unlock the most valuable tool to help navigate life’s challenges.

•Positive psychology and how to use it for your own peace of mind.•The surprising pillars of mindfulness and mental calm.•How mindfulness can develop in less than 10 minutes a day with simple exercises.•How to master meditation and make it work for you, even for skeptics.•Emergency techniques for moments of rage, anxiety, and worry.•How to ease emotional turmoil and simply breathe.

Discover how to live in the present, not in the past or future. No more emotional overwhelm. It’s time to take charge of your life.

• Meditation is not the same as mindfulness, which can be practiced right now, no matter what you are doing. Each day presents opportunities to enter a state of heightened awareness, in the ordinary activities that you engage in—from washing your face, to eating, to the daily commute, to your interactions with others.

• A common myth about the practice of mindfulness is that it requires total emptiness of the mind, where every emerging thought is blocked by a wall to prevent it from disturbing a pure, flawless Zen state. In reality, however, the mind will wander—and you are not required to completely stop it from doing so.

• In mindfulness, you can allow your mind to wander, and work instead toward simply becoming aware, notice the stream of thoughts without becoming attached to it, and anchor back to the now. All you need is an attitude of non-striving, acceptance, patience, and the willingness to consistently and gently bring yourself back to the present.

• A way to come back to the present moment is to tune in to your breathing. As the breath remains constant no matter what time of the day it is

00:05:46 The Positive IS Powerful, But ...

00:11:15 Good Versus Whole

00:14:26 Letting Go of Toxic Positivity

• Toxic positivity is a kind of cognitive distortion and is an overgeneralization of a positive and optimistic attitude. It consists of denial, minimization, and invalidation of your own experience. Toxic positivity grows with shame, silence, and judgment. Positivity itself isn’t toxic, but denying our reality is. Human beings are wholes who contain both good and bad.

• We can embrace the whole instead of the good by watching the phrases we use, making friends with discomfort, being patient while we are in process, distinguishing between productive and unproductive negativity, and reconnecting to what we value and want to achieve in life. Ask yourself, “How does a person who values what I value behave when they experience what I’m experiencing?”

• Keeping a gratitude journal is a great way to create genuine feelings of positivity.
