The 5 Second Mindfulness Game

Cultivating "The Moment" once again...

The fun thing about mindfulness that I got last time I was really into it was this ability to know whether I'd been lost in thought or generally aware of my thoughts, and for how long.

It'd be like "op!  I was just gone for 2 minutes on that thought." *then become aware of everything my mind was doing for 30 seconds* ; then be in and out for a couple mins ; then "op!  I was just gone for 10 minutes there"

That was the game, that was how I knew I was heavy into mindfulness.  That could run for several hours and once or twice it ran through pretty much the entire work day.

A new possibility here is that every time I have a "catch" - basically, any time I experience one of those uncommon moments of awareness - maybe count to 5 to experience 5 full seconds of awareness, and then catch the next thought thereafter to keep it going - then play the game of "how long can I keep it going?"  Soon thereafter, you'll get lost in thought again, and once your next moment occurs, mentally note how long you were awake last time, and then count to 5 again and continue the cycle.  

Part of this possibility is that it is forever and unjudging - Just have it be a game you always play, where there's no judging right or wrong, no goal of trying to achieve some kind of thing where you make yourself wrong when you dont do it, etc... it's just "The 5 Second Mindfulness Game"
