I used to suffer from a severe temperament, so I've had to learn how to control my thoughts and emotions, and how to not give a shit, figuratively speaking. I'm very good at clearing my head and only thinking about the things I care about. When I leave work, I leave work, both physically and mentally.

Maybe that is mindfulness, I don't know. It just feels very far removed from the mysticism and mumbo-jumbo I was confronted with, which honestly just added stress, rather than mitigating it.

the mysticism and marketing isn't part of the mindfulness itself, but it is part of the self-help and new-age religion industry which attaches itself to concepts like mindfulness and meditation.
