Do Nothing & Mindfulness One In The Same?

[PlayOnWords]

Are they basically the same thing? 

[Mason Riggle]

When one attempts to 'do nothing', one realizes that 'awareness' is all there actually is.. there was never anything 'to do' in the first place other than 'be aware of what is'.  

Attempting to 'do nothing' is a path to mindfullness.. it's how to 'wake up' from the dream that there is something 'to do'.

@PlayOnWords "Do Nothing" involves a form of mindfulness - one is mindful of whatever is happening in the mind and environment. I would say that "mindfulness" could also include aspects of attention. For example, if someone is playing a guitar in a bar - they may be mindful of playing that guitar - yet may filter out some of the background, such as people's conversations. In both cases, there is mindfulness of Now - yet different breadth of Now. . . In contrast, non-mindfulness would be a loss of Now awareness. For example, the guitar player might start worrying about how he is going to pay his rent this month. He becomes mesmerized into thought stories of past and future, thus losing mindful awareness of Now. 

These are constructs that make sense to me. Others may describe "mindfullness" differently.
