Transition is another significant component of mindfulness
Transition is another significant component of mindfulness. When you move from one state to another whether it is the mind or the emotion or the physical location that is called transition. The awareness of this transition and your ability to control your transition is critical when you are trying to move from one space to another. Interestingly enough, in Jewish life, we place on our doorpost something called a mezusa. This mezusa marks our transition from one room to another in one place to another. Days in the week and dates on the calendar also Mark transition. The transition can be a Sabbath or a holiday or a vacation day. Transition involves the finishing of one item in the beginning of a new one. The leaving of one room and moving to a new one. The ending of one day and the beginning of a new day. This means that transition includes a process of closure and finalization and also a process of beginning. Mindfulness is required for both of those. The closure should make you mindful of the past and you should appreciate what was the past, but and at also to be aware of and appreciative of the possibilities of the future. This includes being aware of the positive and the negative aspect. This means having an awareness of where you have been and where you want to go. As an example, the Jewish New Year, gives you the opportunity to prepare for the new year and take on for yourself youth habits actions etc.Mindfulness, definition, process.
