Practice makes better, but familiarity can also breed mindlessness. In this chapter I talk about how our familiarity with our everyday world can interfere with mindfulness and our ability to perceive the true nature of things, clearly, as they are. Drawing on my own experiences, I share my thoughts on how upside-down exercises can be a helpful complement to our mindfulness practice, and how we can choose to be mindful whenever and wherever we are.
