I gained a lot of knowledge about my topic, such as
mindfulness fundamentally concerns consciousness. This sounds obvious, but this
sparked my interest in conscious and unconscious behaviors that are effected by
mindfulness. Also, reading that Buddhism and western science come together in
text to clarify the understanding of mindfulness and how it is shown in
cognitive expressions and its psychological effects, was exciting because it
emphasizes the importance of utilizing the practice. The strategy that I found most significant was
keywords and truncations. Utilizing these skills narrowed my search and I was
able to find exactly what I was looking for. One frustration I had was so many books came
up if they just had mindful in the text. When Badke mentioned that keywords are
flat he was definitely right. I had to piece together the right keywords in
order to get the results I was looking for. I hope to continue to narrow my
search as much as possible and have as much depth as I can. I say narrow
relative to the topic’s expansive content and knowing my topic’s hierarchy.
All in all this assignment, although extensive, was not done in vain but rather mindfully.
