@DanaMH
Dana, this is an amazing post, I am very thankful for it. Today I started with the first exercise and will do one each day.
When I put my hand on my belly I could see it rising and falling, I felt the calmness in my body and also felt more connected to myself, it was very comforting.
@amiablePeace77
Glad to hear that you like the post and it is a calming and comforting feeling when you felt more connected to yourself. Doing one each day is a great idea.
Hi Dana. I looked at the third mindful activity and thought for a moment. A few thoughts ran through my mind but one made me feel really blessed and good. It was the day I was able to apologize to my kids and to love them for who they are. That's the happiest thought that made me feel blessed.
@faithlove1111
That is a really great moment to be mindful of and a really blessed moment in your life also. Apologizing to folks sometimes is really hard also.
Thanks for this post. I tried the first one. After about 4 breaths I felt the tension I my shoulders start to melt away. By breath six I felt generally calmer. Good exercise.
@MissPen
Glad you liked the post for ideas and can feel the tension melt away and feel calmer.
@DanaMH great post. Love this opportunity to be mindful.
@soulsings
I am glad to hear that you like the post and I agree with you.
you know, these could be printed, cut apart and tucked in your purse or pocket. When you have a minute you could pull one out and take a mindfulness break.
@MissPen
Yes, and that is an awesome idea also.
@MissPen I love that idea! It's a great reminder, also putting them next to your bed or clipping them somewhere so you see them and are reminded to be mindful everyday!!
@MissPen. Very good suggestion! I'm going to do that!! Sometimes when I get very stressed I blank out on what exercises to do. Then I go into an Anxiety attack. 😥 Knowing these are in my picket/ purse/ car will be great. Thank you @Miss Pen!! 😍
@DanaMH These are great cards!! I am going to implement these with my kiddos, let's see how it goes, especially with my little one.....as for myself, I will do one everyday, thanks for sharing!
@Ladyofthesea458
That sounds like a great plan to do one everyday and with your kids also.
@DanaMH
I did the bottom left card..it really helped me to notice small things that are beautiful and cool. I always look at my flaws or my curves as too big or whatever, but this helped to look at things in a positive way
@Zulegirl
That is really good to hear and glad that it helped you in a positive way.
I did the 3rd card and it made me smile. It was the last time my immediate family was together. It was my dads BD. And a few days before my brother died. Everyone had a good time.
@Lauren63
That is really good to hear that it made you smile and that everyone was having a good time. Having good memories to remember our loved ones is very important. Sorry to hear about your loss of your brother.
@DanaMH. Many years ago. But thanks.
