        There is benefit in certain aspects of 'mindfullness', as in mindful walking. Aside from a meditative practice, it improves posture, grace, and prevents stubbed toes. I never did understand what m/meditation was aimed at, so ignored it.

        I put mindfulness into useful perspective in "Unf*ckology" http://amzn.to/2fFdl2c  (noting what a shitpile so much of the research is). And @DrLoriBrotto does a great job of making it useful for more "present" sex in "Better Sex Through Mindfulness": https://amzn.to/2IOWrMt

        Mindfulness and meditation are only tools. What matters is what you do with them.https://luisderivera.com

        How do you define Motivation? It is Initiation? (i.e., low motivation => low initiation =>laying around on the couch?

        Look how I saved time. I don't need mindful meditation for this at all. I hit the ground shunning, so to speak.

        I had not seen any research demonstrating any side effects, I'll definitely give this a read, thanks for sharing! Definitely bad news and goes against my expectations, but data is data.

        That’s because it gives them time to reflect on how pointless most of our work is
