How are meditation and mindfulness different?

Meditation and mindfulness are related but distinct practices. Meditation is a focused, dedicated practice where you set aside time to engage in techniques (like focusing on the breath or a mantra) to cultivate inner calm, clarity, and awareness. Mindfulness, on the other hand, is about being fully present and attentive to the current moment, which you can practice throughout the day in any activity. While meditation can help build mindfulness, mindfulness is more of a continuous, moment-to-moment awareness that can be applied to everyday tasks and interactions.

Giving ______________ is a way to start conversations and possibly change how the other person feels about themselves in a positive way.

Compliments!

“An ______________ seeks to understand without making value judgments or rendering opinions about whether feelings are justified or not, beneficial or not, or reflecting an objective reality. An emotion scientist comes equipped only with questions and a desire to listen and learn.

An _______________, on the other hand, is seeking something else. An emotion judge attempts to evaluate feelings (even his or her own—we’re not immune to harsh self-judgment) and deem them good or bad, useful or harmful, grounded in reality or a figment of the imagination. An emotionjudge wants the power to validate feelings or negate them—to pass judgment.”
