I am quite interested in starting a mindfulness meditation routine, but I am a little worried. As a means to attaining a 'peaceful mind', mindfulness meditation aims to silence your inner thought dialog and keep your focus on the hear and the now. I am worried that getting rid of that inner dialog will cause me to be a less effective programmer. Its that spaced out, off in my own world, thinking to myself kind of state that I utilize to solve programming problems. Am I in danger of hurting my skills as a programmer by practicing this?
