Mindfulness gives us time, time gives us choices. Choices skillfully made, lead to direct freedom. We do not have to be swept away by our feelings. We can respond with wisdom and kindness rather than habit and reactivity.

The best way to understand and apply the above is with the definition of mindfulness :

Mind-ful-ness/
Noun
The quality or state of being conscious or aware of something. A mental state achieved by focusing one’s awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one’s feelings, thoughts and bodily sensations, used as a therapeutic technique.
