You know you are mindful when...

1- you find yourself enjoying the sound of your footsteps, for instance

2- you find yourself enjoying the sometimes disturbing sound, sensation, feeling that you would rather avoid

3- you find yourself more amazed and curious than controlling or knowing everything

4- enjoying very small, little things

5-?

I heavily relate to this, it's almost how I have completely operated my life up until now, where I cannot afford to necessarily be doing so right now. I like experiencing bad things as much as good, because sometimes things are far more interesting that way. They lead to more personal growth, overall knowledge and the flat experience itself, they are in as every way just as worth positive experiences, but it must be greatly stressed that both types of experiences, or perhaps all other experiences are required as well, or the value begins to disappear to me. Why purposefully feel bad? However, if you feel bad, good, everything in between, it is all worth it.
