I find it useful sometimes, like when I don´t want to do something, meditation for example, other times it can be useful to be mindful through the day.
while practicing auto hypnosis I note as we do on meditatitation, but I note my current state and then I note my objective state, something like "Now I´m distracted and dizzy, I don´t want to be distracted and dizzy, I want to be mindful " then I concentrate in nothing but being mindful while repeating "I want to be mindful" until I feel I´m mindful. I feel this kind of close to vipassana meditation, do you think is bad if I pactice both?
