  5. Mindfulness Skills 6: Openness

Openness to life experiences does not have to mean agreement or preference but rather there is not a closed off belief system or emotional resistance to any life event. It can see new life events not as problems but challenges or opportunities.
In the art of Zen they have a phrase called “the beginner’s mind”, if the student is to learn anything then he or she must be open to learn, open to experiences.
