"That's where my love for blogs and memoir comes from, because the things of life are often so interesting, even when they seem mundane."
The Benedictines live and work with complete attention to everything. Doing a task with attention ensures connection with what you are doing. As a result, you are doing quality improvement at the same time. Attention is also seen in mindfulness: living consciously and attentively, living in the here and now and responding gently to what presents itself. Mindfulness stems from Buddhism. Buddhism advocates living consciously and mindfully.
When you live with attention, everyday things are not boring. Attention has something to do with really living.
“The weirdest part was that I felt completely fine in my body, only my head was weird. That’s why I couldn’t understand why I would need rest as my body wanted to do stuff, be active..” This Cartesian dualism is often seen as obsolete today. Nowadays mind and body are considered as one.
