Daily Mindfulness Check-In April 20, 2022
Hello everyone, I hope you are all doing well ❤️
Starting our days with kindness and a morning mantra or go-to phrase can have a positive effect on the rest of our day and redirect the mind to something more positive and energizing. Something I find very comforting is to ask myself in the morning "How are you doing?" and "How did you sleep?" It's just about showing myself that I care. It was strange in the beginning but today I find it nice and helpful.
How do you bring kindness into your morning? Do you have a morning mantra that you use to start each day off right? What does it mean to you?

How do you bring kindness into your morning? Do you have a morning mantra that you use to start each day off right. What does it mean to you?
@amiablePeace77
I’m trying to have routines and rituals that support me and replace the negative patterns in my life. Such as going to the mirror when I get out of bed, looking into my eyes and telling myself that I love myself, and asking what I could do for myself today.
@Dallady
That's a beautiful way to start the day and also to make you feel cared for!
@amiablePeace77 I practice a loving kindness meditation on youtube and it helps me feel more compassion for others, not just the people I am close to.
@soulsings
Those are great meditations! I love the collection you made, thank you for this again https://www.7cups.com/forum/7CupsOnlineTherapy_157/Resources_2155/LovingKindnessCanHealOurHeartsandMinds_274438/
@Dallady thanks for sharing
@soulsingsHi Souls very nice to see you. I was wondering do you mind sharing the link you have on Youtube please?
thanks
❤️
Good to chat with you and see you back here @RumpleSteeleSkin I actually posted the youtube links here so feel free to check them out https://www.7cups.com/forum/7CupsOnlineTherapy_157/Resources_2155/LovingKindnessCanHealOurHeartsandMinds_274438/
@amiablePeace77
taking a walk every morning really helps me
@Colorfulhopeforthefuture
I hear you Colorfulhopeforthefuture! Nothing is better to me than getting out of the bed, doing a little self care routine and then getting fresh airl!
@Goalsforlife
I’d like to maybe try this.
@amiablePeace77
i bring kindness into my morning by not forcing myself out of bed right away and setting the alarm a few minutes earlier so that i can do a little meditation or yoga in peace :)
@AveryLove
Good idea to set the alarm to wake up earlier and have more time in the morning so you don't need to rush!
I’m trying to overcome the pattern of forcing myself out of bed too.
Growing up I rarely was allowed to follow my own intuition and body cycles.
Now it feels like a losing battle to keep trying to rewrite my old stories.
It’s still so easy to blame others and feel bad about myself on the regular.
@AveryLove
I don't have a morning mantra. After I first wake up I usually try to lay there until I feel fully away and not do anything too quickly. I feel like that's a kindness I do for myself rather than springing up out of bed and rushing around. ^^
I try that too. Then usually find myself rushing around later, but hopefully not as much as I normally would be if I had forced myself out of bed and pushed my way through life. There’s so much that still isn’t working though.
@Dallady
Nice that you're trying to have a calmer morning too, making small changes can help to change bigger things lateron too. Step by step.
@cafedaydreams
I hear you cafedaydreams, it's soooo good to take your time in the morning to wake up fully before starting the day!
Stick to my routine. Have breakfast, take my vitamins, and do things that make me happy. I avoid interacting with people until I’m more awake so to speak cuz I’m not a morning person. Sticking to my routine means a happier and healthier me.
@dapperJar8756
Good that you learned what you need and stick to that helpful routine!
I read my email to read what the inspiration of the day is.

Has helped me so much ❤️
@byefeliciaaaa
Nice that you have looked for something that inspires you every day! Thanks for sharing the link.
I used to do that too! Then I got their book and tried to read a page or section of it a day to take a break from my phone. I’d like to try their emails again I think.

@amiablePeace77
Hello Ami thank you for this check in.
How do you bring kindness into your morning? Do you have a morning mantra that you use to start each day off right? What does it mean to you?
hmm I never thought of this truly. As I get up at 3-3:30 am during the week for work. As I sit here and think more...I guess I allow myself that 10-15 minutes to check in to see how my body feels. You know where it pinches and aches as I am an oldie😊 I also run through what I have to do for the day as I am getting ready. I do my prayers always and make sure my spiritual side is in tack.
What does it mean to me? A whole heck of a lot. As if I can not show myself kindness and a few minutes a day to see how I am doing......NO ONE WILL❤️
@RumpleSteeleSkin
Hi rumple, nice to see you again in the forum. I totally agree about taking a little time from the day to show yourself kindness!
@amiablePeace77

@RumpleSteeleSkin
sooooooooooo sweet! ❤️
