Daily Mindfulness Check-In January 10, 2022
Hello everyone, I wish you all a wonderful week ❤️
Mindful Mornings 🌞
One of the best times to practise mindfulness is right after waking up. The day is just beginning and it is still nice and quiet, so it is a great opportunity to take a few moments for yourself and sit quietly for a few minutes in your bed or on a chair enjoying the present moment and show gratitude for being able to live another day.
This is also a great time to practise positive self affirmations to overcome morning blues.

How do you start your morning? Is there something you think needs to be changed to have a more peaceful morning?

Hello! I love to spend my mornings by practicing meditation or some kind of yoga, even if it’s just in bed. Or also repeating some affirmations!
@AveryLove
Sounds like you're starting your day in a positive mindset!
@AveryLove
Hello Avery good to see you. Wow yoga in bed with positive affirmations is almost better then cup of coffee. I am glad you spend time doing these things for yourself❤️
@amiablePeace77
HI Ami thank you for this check-in. Wowzers today was my first day back to work-and my first day back on here. I woke up 30 minutes before I had to leave the house. 430am. No time for mindfulness----tsk tsk.
I ended up doing some body scans and just being in the moment. Letting the car warn up a bit before getting going. Noticing things today would bring and that it was ok if I did not do it as I usually did. So mindfulness can be done at any moment-specially for those who wake up late for work-lol❤️
@RumpleSteeleSkin
I think right in the moment when we feel having to rush it's so helpful to stop for a moment and do what you did, mindfully checking how we feel inside. There is always time for mindfulness if we want to take it.
@amiablePeace77
Well written words I say-thank you
My mornings are basically wash my face etc mundane morning tasks, taking my medications, dog out, coffee, breakfast (I have struggled a lot with eating breakfast, so I'm super happy with myself as I have stuck to eating something every morning). 👏
I am at home alot so after these I usually slowly start my day... 🦥
But on days I don't have specific schedule, I must admit I often just crash on a sofa and open TV.. 😒 I actually don't like that habit very much, and I acknowledge it's not very good for me mentally either. 🥱
On most days I feel so so tired even after full night of sleep (it's just a side effect on my depression), so that's basically the reason. Also I have never been morning person. I love afternoons and evenings. 🌚
But that being said, today I got the inspiration to do this morning meditation, and I liked it as it was quite "simple" (to listen and concentrate with my foggy morning mind) and short. 🥰
So I saved it and trying to add it on my morning routine, and maybe getting a bit more inspiring mornings a bit by bit. 😊
Thank you for this! 🌹🌹🌹
And have a good week everyone! 💫
@sophielouphie365
Depression can be very tough and make you tired but even more when the body is not moving enough. Nice that you start the day with breakfast so that the body does not suffer additionally from lack of nutrients which can make you feel even worse. Including the meditation in your morning routine sounds like a great idea! I also like to listen to one of my favorite songs after my morning meditation to get moving 😉
@amiablePeace77 I usually listen to Healthy Mind App that takes 5-10 minutes to get my intentions set and my mind headed to a positive outlook.
@soulsings
Great idea to have an app readily available to get into the right mindset in the morning. I saw that the Healthy Mind App is also available in the apple store.
