Mindfulness is not relaxation. Mindfulness is active focus. The irony is that only while expending the energy to maintain focus on one thing does relaxation happen. But if I "just relax" while meditating, my brain will do it's thing and start jumping all over the place.
I think being aware of the energy required will help me be prepared for my mindfulness times in the morning. Mindfulness is more like lifting weights than taking a nap.
