Daily Mindfulness Check-In April 5, 2021
Happy Easter Monday to all who celebrate Easter. I hope everyone in our community will have a good, peacful week 
Speaking kindly to yourself seems simple, but making a genuine effort each day to build yourself up and provide your heart and mind with love and support is a wonderful habit to make.
We might be fast to say something negative to ourselves, like “ I am very poorly today and very stupid and hate everybody and everything” but hesitate to support ourselves with something like “Okay, today is not the best day for me, so I’ll take it easy and just do the best I can”.
How do you practise compassion towards yourself when things are not going so well?
What are some acts of kindness you will show yourself today and in the week?

@amiablePeace77 thank you for the check-in
How do you practise compassion towards yourself when things are not going so well?

What are some acts of kindness you will show yourself today and in the week?
today i am going to the beach which is a safe space for me. in the week, i will tidy up my room which always improves my mood.
@cherryskiies
Nice that you have a supportive partner to turn to when needed.
Hope you will enjoy your walk or drive to the beach. I too love going to the beach, just sitting there and listen to the sound of the waves, it's so very relaxing.
@amiablePeace77
Hello Ami thanks for this check in!
How do you practise compassion towards yourself when things are not going so well?
I go shopping
I go to the thrift storesI polish my toes
Also I let myself know I am human and that I am doing my very best
What are some acts of kindness you will show yourself today and in the week?
I bought myself a new tablet. Right now I am eating lunch and doing my catch up work. Then I have to replant things. Cook dinner with my kiddos later then much needed sleep
@RumpleSteeleSkin
You do deserve those rewards for sure when working that much Rumple . A new tablet is surely nice.
@amiablePeace77
How do you practise compassion towards yourself when things are not going so well?.....Usually I just tend to try to "tune-out" things that are not serving me a positive purpose. Even if its just for a short time, so that I can relax, unwind, and take some time for myself.
What are some acts of kindness you will show yourself today and in the week?...To take time for myself when I feel I need it and not try to push myself too much.
@PoliteOcean
To "tune out" for at least a while to recharge makes sense. Things can go so much easier when refreshed.
@amiablePeace77
How do you practise compassion towards yourself when things are not going so well?
I try to encourage myself and be patient that things are not going as planned.
What are some acts of kindness you will show yourself today and in the week?
Not getting angry is a real gift. When I let anger run the show, I am miserable.
@soulsings
Having patience in the face of challenges or even chaos is an amazing skill to have.
@amiablePeace77
How do you practise compassion towards yourself when things are not going so well?
I practice self care twice a day morning and night. Or I do breathing techniques during the day to bring me up.
What are some acts of kindness you will show yourself today and in the week?
I do a bubble bath every night or a nice dip in my pool
@pamharley003
Bubble bath sounds great, love it too! Wow, having your own pool is truly something to be thankful for particularly in hot weather.
@amiablePeace77

hello, like today my whole body is sore, since last weekends i was kinda down and blame myself alot. So today i just take some times out to chill.
What are some acts of kindness you will show yourself today and in the week?
I think I need to remind myself of what I did well instead of criticising myself all the time!
@SpicyHeart
Glad you decided to do something good for yourself after such a tough time. Stress can manifest itself in painful ways in the body. Hope you're feeling better.
@amiablePeace77
thanks dear, I took 2 days complete rest, today was so much better!
@SpicyHeart
Nice, seems the rest worked
I agree that speaking kindly to yourself seems simple but it definitely something that is hard to do. I always say sometimes it is easier to be your own worst critic rather than your own best friend. For me some of the ways I am learning to practice self-compassion and self-love for myself is positive affirmations, changing my negative self-talk, finding and living my purpose and just being aware of my thoughts/feelings/emotions/behaviors and how I treat myself. I never really in the past did any specific self-care or wellness techiques even though I knew what that means. That is is something else that is becoming an important part of my life.
@Ivy229
Nice that self care and compassion becomes an important part in your life!
