?Describe what is meant by the statement that mindfulness does not mean living with reckless abandon for the moment, but rather living fully in the moment.

What will be an ideal response?


Living mindfully does not mean that you ignore planning for the future or setting goals for what you want to accomplish. Planning for the future and creating goals entail bringing future moments into the present so you can apply appropriate control toward achieving them. This is a visionary process that constructively focuses on the future in this present moment. It is worthwhile and appropriate. Conversely, worrying about a future event and directing our attention to the potentially painful outcomes of a future event is not productive.
