Mindfulness is considered one of the best features of the human nature. In some instances mindfulness is necessary. It brings your total attention to the current events without being judgmental.

You can benefit from this quality in many various situations. Mindful individuals observe their own thought and sensations with acceptance and curiosity. Despite the fact that we can benefit from mindfulness, for some of us it may feel confusing and disorienting. It can also draw you further from your own humanity. Let us see what disadvantages there are in being a mindful person.

False memories
Scientists carried out studies to find out what effects mindfulness brings. It was established that mindfulness increases the risk of false memories. No doubt researchers should perform more studies and analysis. However, at present it is considered that mindful people do not always remember stuff more effectively – their memories may often be less accurate. People whose mindfulness is high are not connected to reality well enough. Do not worry if your mind tends to wander – if this happens, there is less risk to create false memories. Let you mind wander from time to time in order to balance your mental practice.

Less creativity
Mindfulness is necessary for people whose occupation is related to analytical thinking. They need clear mind and that’s what mindfulness provides. The bad thing is that this quality does not provide creativity. If you are trying to solve an issue that requires insight, then mindfulness is of little help. Creativity comes when you let your mind wander. People with creative minds are the least mindful individuals – their nature is free and independent. Daydreaming can be constructive. This is something positive and occurs only when you do not put restrictions.
