The main purpose of this article or chapter is: This Chapter is written in the same setup as a mindful awareness journal. Each mini story has an acknowledgement, an acceptance and an action towards change. The purpose is to show that even when bad things happen you can still push through and have a happy ending.
The most important information in this article, or chapter is: Even though Regina got a piece of bread stuck in her tooth she ignored it and continued mindfully eating. Even though Charlie's family was worried about him he still decided to dance. This shows me that if I know it’s the right thing for me to do I should just follow my gut and do it and not worry about what other people think.
The main inferences/conclusion in this article or chapter is: There was a different conclusion to each story. My favorite was when Judgmental Justin got over his fear of being shy and got to meet Elizabeth. He used meditation to calm himself down in preparation for the dinner party. He acknowledged his fears and was able to have a good time.
The key concepts we need to understand in this article, or chapter are: Don’t let little things stop you from having a good time and doing what you want. Whether it's going to a yoga class after being physically injured, or being in a dance competition when your family thinks it's unsafe you have to be mindful of your moments and do what is best for you.
The main points of view presented in this article is (are): Bad things can lead to good things. Valentina broke her hip and thought she would never be able to hike again but by doing this she found a new love, swimming. She wasn’t able to hike like she used to but now she had a new favorite hobby that she could still do with a prosthetic hip. Randy was angry at his boss for taking credit for his work so he stole a bunch of money which made him go to jail. In jail he found a love for gardening and was even able to get out early due to his hard work in the garden.
My thoughts and feedback: I really liked this chapter and has made me really excited for the chapters we will read in this course. It had some good stories in it that made me think about my own life and how mindful I am. I look forward to branching out more and trying new things without allowing my mindless monster to control my life.
