Daily Mindfulness Check-In February 1, 2021
Happy Monday to everyone. I hope you all enjoyed your weekend and you are all doing well 
When things go wrong, it’s easy to feel like the odds are stacked against you. 
You might feel like a victim of fate and feel hopeless but remember that most stories have two sides. Often there are things we could have done to prevent the situation or at least the severity. If we acknowledge to ourselves that we actually are not powerless we can make a plan how to handle a similar situation in future differently. This will bring a sense of empowerment. 
How do you empower yourself in your life?

Wow Ami were you with me this weekend? I say this as we went to BreckenRidge Mountains just to take some beautiful Winter pictures. My daughter has 1 doing just this. Just so beautiful I say.
How do you empower yourself in your life?
I so love the word EMPOWER. It reflects back to self and on no one else. It gives us back the power to "choose" what next. I simply tell myself"if you do not do it no one else will" and that is true. In life now my rib is broken. I am 2 weeks into healing and about 4-5 more weeks to be fully healed. We;; we are now packing to move. Fun times I say. But it has to be done. I like how you shared to make a plan on how things will turn out better. That is what I do on most things. "If this happens again I WILL DO THIS......" Normally I do it as I hate consequences so bad. I want to really thank you for these very thought out check-ins. hugs
@RumpleSteeleSkin
So sorry to hear about your broken rib, sending you strong healing vibes, hugs.
I like your determination and that your inquiry does not stop you from having a wonderful weekend. Hope all goes well with moving, please be careful with yourself.
@amiablePeace77
Thanks Ami your sweet
I tell myself "you are not powerless". I assume the Wonder Woman pose too sometimes when I'm alone in my office and need to feel more capable. Someone told me it'll make you feel confident. If nothing else it's a good stretch and rests the eyes from the computer.
@HappyDucky8
Awesome Happy! Wonder woman pose is great 
Read that it can change hormone levels in the body by increasing testosterone (connected with dominance) and decreasing cortisol (connected with stress)
Keep on posing, I'll be joining you in mind 
@amiablePeace77 maybe I do not understand the question, but what I see in my life is I empower compassion or patience. The result is I feel better. But me is not the center of the show if that makes any sense.
@soulsings
Compassion and patience goes a long way!
