Mindfulness

How good is the word “mindfulness”

Quoted from the net with reference to its Buddist context - Enlightenment is a state of being in which delusion has been overcome, abandoned and is absent from the mind. Mindfulness, which is an attentive awareness of the reality of things (especially of the present moment) is an antidote to delusion and is considered as such a 'power'. This faculty becomes a power in particular when it is coupled with clear comprehension of whatever is taking place

There is a book that I saw last weekend in the Springwood bookshop called Mindful Walking. I might check it out a bit further, and try to adapt to running and riding. Not possibly to be practicing mindfulness while swimming, as I would probably end up losing concentration and sucking down a nasty chlorinated shot of watery clear comprehension, and nobody needs that level of reality.
