Mindfulness - using our 5 senses

User Profile: CalmWhisper22
CalmWhisper22 March 28th, 2020

We are all having to adjust to our new surroundings and continuously changing our surroundings, mindfulness and taking in the moment is very important. This thread is for you to list some mindfulness things that you are doing during each day to help you take in the world around you. They can be of great help in slowing down and living in the moment. Feel free to come as often during the day or week that you would like to post and maybe we all can get some new ideas on how we can use mindfulness.

Please list: sight, sound, smell, taste and touch

Example: I see the blue sky with the sun, blue birds and hear them chirping as they fly by. Smelling the freshly cut grass while touching my cool glass and tasting the cold ice tea while sitting on the smooth outside chair in the fresh air with the wind slightly blowing.

Feeding the birds in my yard,probably the possums as well. No one is eating out so the seagulls have no scraps. I discovered they love popcorn. Makes me smile❤

Today , I took my computer out to my tiny little garden . I sat there ,enjoyed using the computer , looking at my plants and feeling so good listening to the sound of the leaves rustling . The whole experience was very empowering indeed.

@mutter3 ...I plant veggies ... I do love to plant flowers but at the moment I prefer and enjoy planting organic traditional veggies which are not sold much in the market like Rosselle leaves , creeper Spinach , moringa leaves and so on.
