Should You Get Into Mindfulness?

Most mindfulness content assumes the answer is yes. This doesn't.

Mindfulness quiets certain mental patterns — rumination, self-criticism, anxiety about the future. But it doesn't discriminate. It quiets the patterns you want gone and the ones you're still using.

This tool asks six questions to figure out which side of that tradeoff you're on. Not whether mindfulness works — it does. Whether it's likely to help more than it costs, given your specific situation.

Six questions. No account. About three minutes.
