Right Mindfulness

In the context of data analysis, I see steps 1 and 7 as being reflections of each other at different points in time. Right View is about clearly seeing and understanding the situation we wish to analyze. In Right Mindfulness, we bring this understanding and awareness to the results of our analysis. "Right mindfulness is anchored in clear perception and it penetrates impressions without getting carried away. Right mindfulness enables us to be aware of the process of conceptualisation in a way that we actively observe and control the way our thoughts go." (The BigView).

We should aspire to have a fully conscious, systematic and focused way of approaching our interpretation of findings. Develop clear processes and guideposts that lead you to interpretation that flows from your data, instead of being forced upon it.
