| @BillWongOT | @pd2ot one thing I am really mindful about is volume control… which I can tend to say things on the loud side. #occhat (Tue, 28 Aug 2012 20:08:11 +0100) |
| @pd2ot | @Trio33 Can you elaborate? #occhat (Tue, 28 Aug 2012 20:08:22 +0100) |
| @BPDFFS | #occhat Mindfulness is key for me in managing my BPD, it’s the first thing I learnt to do. It teaches me about me.(Tue, 28 Aug 2012 20:08:32 +0100) |

| @BillWongOT | @HealingFromBPD @pd2ot @Claire_OT well… but according to my skills theory instructor, then that will become mindlessness. #occhat (Tue, 28 Aug 2012 20:15:42 +0100) |

| @kirstyes | @HealingFromBPD I think you’ve hit the nail on the head about mindfulness. It’s about slowing down and recognition. #occhat (Tue, 28 Aug 2012 20:16:34 +0100) |
| @clissa89 | @CharOReilly i think that’s the hard/important part – practicing. i’m sure there are people here who can share suggestions #occhat (Tue, 28 Aug 2012 20:16:38 +0100) |
| @Trio33 | @pd2ot in my writing groups I use a balance of mindful writing exercises. eg here in this room I can smell, see, hear, etc. #occhat (Tue, 28 Aug 2012 20:16:49 +0100) |
| @Claire_OT | @pd2ot I can be mindfull in some areas of life, perhaps it’s the act of mindfull meditation that I can’t seem to implement #occhat (Tue, 28 Aug 2012 20:16:56 +0100) |
| @clissa89 | @HealingFromBPD @BillWongOT yes! huge tweetup would be immense #occhat (Tue, 28 Aug 2012 20:17:03 +0100) |
| @Trio33 | @pd2ot yes it did help but it must have given me a weird glazed look because the hygeinist kept asking me if I was ok. Lol. #occhat (Tue, 28 Aug 2012 20:17:04 +0100) |

| @BillWongOT | @BPDFFS @clissa89 I agree. I think mindfulness is important when you are trying to learn new skills- in life and in OT practice. #occhat (Tue, 28 Aug 2012 20:19:34 +0100) |
| @clissa89 | @pd2ot @kirstyes not thinking about next job – definitely easier said than done, but makes huge difference #occhat (Tue, 28 Aug 2012 20:19:44 +0100) |
| @Helen_otuk | 2/2 but I see now that because I immerse myself in the ‘moment’ or in my client interactions that I am not reflecting in action #occhat (Tue, 28 Aug 2012 20:19:51 +0100) |
| @kirstyes | @Trio33 @pd2ot I do struggle sometimes with my daily #smallstone but writing it makes me reflect on the day. #occhat (Tue, 28 Aug 2012 20:20:17 +0100) |

| @gilliancrossley | @Helen_otuk @pd2ot I am very reflective but not sure I am very mindful… I think I need to practice more #occhat (Tue, 28 Aug 2012 20:20:38 +0100) |
| @clissa89 | @kirstyes @trio33 @pd2ot in a small way, doing the #366challenge has ‘forced’ me to pause at least once a day, briefly #smallstone #occhat (Tue, 28 Aug 2012 20:21:19 +0100) |
| @HealingFromBPD | RT @kirstyes : @HealingFromBPD I think you’ve hit the nail on the head about mindfulness. It’s about slowing down and recognition. #occhat (Tue, 28 Aug 2012 20:21:26 +0100) |
| @kirstyes | Do many people use writing in their mindfulness practice, e.g. Journal/diary/blogs etc #occhat (Tue, 28 Aug 2012 20:21:30 +0100) |
| @CharOReilly | #occhat so would you say being mindful is the same as mindfulness?(Tue, 28 Aug 2012 20:21:34 +0100) |
| @clissa89 | #occhat MT @Nnikki_Duffy : I agree about the fine line between mindful and mindless the point is awareness.(Tue, 28 Aug 2012 20:21:40 +0100) |
| @HealingFromBPD | RT @BPDFFS : @clissa89 it is very powerful when you have spent years not feeling anything, that’s how much I think mindfulness helps #occhat (Tue, 28 Aug 2012 20:21:47 +0100) |

| @Trio33 | @kirstyes @pd2ot writing is good because you write thoughts down in a linear way. It’s good for both mindfulness and reflection #occhat (Tue, 28 Aug 2012 20:22:26 +0100) |

| @clissa89 | @CharOReilly yes i think so – mindful in sense of paying attention on purpose to internal/external experience #occhat (Tue, 28 Aug 2012 20:22:33 +0100) |
| @HealingFromBPD | @kirstyes I definitely use my blog to reflect mindfully on my experiences. I think that’s why so many people tend to connect with it #occhat (Tue, 28 Aug 2012 20:22:54 +0100) |
| @kirstyes | @pd2ot I did that last night! By hand too, not just dish washing ;0) It was ok doing it as a one off.Used to be painful chore though #occhat (Tue, 28 Aug 2012 20:22:54 +0100) |
| @Helen_otuk | Yes I loved the bit about reflection in action v mindfullness! I had not thought of it as mindfulness more attentiveness? #occhat (Tue, 28 Aug 2012 20:22:59 +0100) |
| @Claire_OT | I think an important part of working mindfully is the idea of “responding” rather than “reacting” which is embedded in mindfulness #occhat (Tue, 28 Aug 2012 20:23:00 +0100) |

| @gilliancrossley | @kirstyes i do, although i wonder if it leads to over analysis sometimes : / #occhat (Tue, 28 Aug 2012 20:23:36 +0100) |
| @Helen_otuk | But I see it more as mindfullness now as not just attentive to client, but the environment, family, roles etc etc #occhat (Tue, 28 Aug 2012 20:23:40 +0100) |
| @HealingFromBPD | Mindfulness, for me, is taking an honest look at “What is” accepting it, and acting wisely in response, oh and slowing down impulses #occhat (Tue, 28 Aug 2012 20:23:41 +0100) |
| @pd2ot | #occhat So, are there situations where mindfulness is more helpful than reflection, and vice versa?(Tue, 28 Aug 2012 20:24:08 +0100) |
| @clissa89 | @pd2ot @helen_otuk can be mindful/reflecting-in-action @ work – for me in #mentalhealth especially noticing my emotional response #occhat (Tue, 28 Aug 2012 20:24:26 +0100) |
| @BillWongOT | @gilliancrossley @kirstyes haha! I am on the same boat as you. I can tend to over analyze things! #occhat (Tue, 28 Aug 2012 20:24:33 +0100) |
| @BillWongOT | @HealingFromBPD that’s a good way to look at it! I like it! #occhat (Tue, 28 Aug 2012 20:24:58 +0100) |

| @BillWongOT | @clissa89 @pd2ot @helen_otuk I stopped myself a few times from saying something in my hand therapy placement due 2 mindfulness. #occhat (Tue, 28 Aug 2012 20:26:00 +0100) |
| @clissa89 | @Helen_otuk @pd2ot my difficulty is the non-judgmental part – i’m constantly assessing – but maybe about intention – open minded #occhat (Tue, 28 Aug 2012 20:26:19 +0100) |
| @clissa89 | @Claire_OT ooh that sounds like a really interesting point – can you elaborate? #occhat (Tue, 28 Aug 2012 20:26:31 +0100) |

| @BPDFFS | @kirstyes @pd2ot it stops the ruminating, if you are in the moment, concentrating on the one thing or practising mindful meditation. #occhat (Tue, 28 Aug 2012 20:27:27 +0100) |
