Just remember that this is a mindless call from a thoughtless emotion. You don’t have to answer or be mindful to not put the iron to your ears. If you don’t pick up, whatever or whoever is calling will eventually hang up. And if you are truly mindful, you’ll have a voicemail: a place where messages can be set aside. If you are mindful, you will say, ‘There is a place for them. Let them go there. I will access them later.’ This comes with self-dialogue – when you can tell your mind, ‘Right now, I have to do what I am doing. I will listen to you later.’
