Working in a treatment facility is hard work. It seems counter intuitive that noticing simple things could make such a big impact. But I always tell folks--try it for one week, regularly and see for yourself. It isn't like it won't be obvious! You'll have to tell me more about your book--shoot me an email.

I am the director of a 14 bed treatment facility for mentally ill adults and teach a mindfulness group there. This entry embodies what I try to teach. I am also a recovering alcoholic and formerly depressed person. Mindfulness practice was an important part of my recovery. I tell the story in my book "In Pursuit of Joy" I really like this entry.

While your article is simple, it isn't easy. Thank you for the reminder to practice. PS love the post on Monkey Mind--free rent. That was really great.
