Being one who cannot sit still for long, I tend to snack while watching a film. This means that I’m not totally mindful of what my hand is doing — it just moves automatically from snack to mouth.
On one such occasion, the snack was pistachio nuts. One of them was not completely opened. I absent-mindedly used my teeth to crack it open. Result? A ￡126 bill from the dentist for a crown for the cracked tooth. Expensive lesson, indeed, for not being a bit more mindful.
