&gt; Mind-wandering: the rise of a new anti-mindfulness movement<p>This is absurd. Contrary to the efforts of ideologues, Mindfulness isn&#x27;t a movement, it&#x27;s an idea, and there are other equally valid ideas, like creative daydreaming. There&#x27;s no actual conflict between choosing to pay attention to one&#x27;s surroundings, and paying attention to one&#x27;s inner creative voices -- they&#x27;re complementary, non-conflicting states.<p>Only in the field of human psychology can an obviously legitimate mental state be described as an &quot;anti-mindfulness movement&quot;, except for people whose minds have a maximum capacity of one trivial idea.
