Novelty
Mindfulness is not controlled processing. Controlled processing such as memorizing information for a test can be exhausting; multiplying three-digit numbers by four-digit numbers can also be exhausting. Both of these are usually carried out as mindless, not mindful, activities. Multiplication and memorizations could be made mindful by trying them in new ways, but rarely do we do this. To do an act mindfully, novelty must be introduced. (xxiv)
