Mindfulness Means Remember | Why Forgetting Is the Practice - Quick Bite

Update: 2025-10-22

Description

Have you ever tried to “be mindful,” only to forget two minutes later? You’re not broken—that’s actually the practice. In this Quick Bite of Relish, Alyssia Sheikh explains why the original word for mindfulness, sati, also means “to remember.” You’ll learn how mindfulness is less about staying perfectly present and more about remembering—again and again—to return to the moment, and to who you really are.
