Happy Monday to everyone in the Mindfulness Community, I hope you had a nice weekend and enjoyed your holidays laugh

Mindfulness Practice

Mindfulness takes practice and effort. No one is good at it when they first start. Your mind is likely to wander repeatedly. But, with practice and patience, you'll get better. And eventually, you'll recognize that you're living a more mindful life and you'll be free to enjoy benefits, like decreased stress, better mental health, better relationships, and greater overall happiness.

So today, I like to invite you to the following exercises, you can do either one or both.

enlightened Eat or drink something. Describe the flavors or notice the temperature in detail.

enlightened Dig your heels into the floor. Remind yourself that you are connected to the ground. While pressing your feet into the ground, splay your toes and press – with equal pressure from your big toe to your baby toe, from the front of your foot to the back of your heel – and feel how your foot connects to the ground and how the ground exerts a constant pressure back towards your foot.

enlightenedPlease come back here and share with us your experience smiley

@amiablePeace77

HI Ami thank you for this check-in. I really love doing the feet grounding skill. I do this a lot bare foot as my senses looooove it! No lie. I am so aware of my carpet or my wood floors. This also helps me to focus and calm down if I let things get to me.

Hey Rumple, nice to hear you're using this exercise already. Doing it barefoot is a great idea!

I like this. I am drinking a chai latte and it's hot and it tastes earthy. It's smooth going down.
