Summary of Craig Hase & Devon Hase's How Not to Be a Hot Mess

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was always trying to be better, and I would constantly judge myself when I didn’t meet my expectations. I eventually realized that the way out was to get real and look at my own mind. #2 I began meditating, and within a year was absolutely hooked. The more I meditated, the more it worked. I eventually began teaching it, and it worked even better. #3 The ancient Buddhist word for mindfulness is sati, which refers to the capacity of the mind to know. It is the awareness that arises from paying attention on purpose in the present moment non-judgmentally. developing this capacity to know experience with a nonreactive awareness leads to a staggering range of mental and physical health benefits. #4 Mindfulness is simply setting the intention to be present and then training your mind to come back again and again. In this meditation, we’re focusing on body sensations. So keep coming back to your body and feel it from the inside.
