Awesome. I've been practicing for the past couple of years, ever since I realized my life is finite, but it's hard to do all the time. I'm lucky if I manage 4 or 5 times a day... in fact, I think 4 or 5 times a day is pretty good. Is it possible to progress to the point where it happens continuously?

I like the idea that it's something that can be practiced, it's a habit that can be developed, something that can be more and more natural. I really can't think of a better goal in life.

Are you talking about practicing mindfulness 4 to 5 times a day or meditation?

I agree. Changing your thoughts, which change your mood and attitude, is very rewarding, and something I really wouldn't have thought made sense or was possible a decade ago. But just like anything else, with practice comes perfection. It's a skill, and it can be trained just like anything else.
