She was also talking about how we should try and ask ourselves three questions of our thoughts: 1. Are they necessary? 2. Are they kind? 3. Are they true? She said we all have ‘patterns’ we feel stuck in, and its good to start exploring these thought patterns by asking ourselves these three questions.

This is just great Aasha, thanks!

I just want to ask the more experienced meditators here, how easy or difficult they find it to carry the mindfulness they have developed during meditation practice, over into their daily lives.

I think that for some it is easier than for others. In my experience, it has not been easy... Also Aasha there are moments when you feel we are doing it great and happens otherwise and we find ourself doing, again, unwholesome. Back to zazen so not to delude at myself.
