Daily Mindfulness Check-In June 29, 2021
Hello lovely Mindfulness Community, sending you beams of love and compassion
Are you lacking rewards? 
If you are not focussing on rewards (it could be just a small thing like taking some minutes to sit somewhere peacefully or a self hand massage) you might only see the “musts” in life.
Do you schedule fun throughout the week?

I try to, I try and take a day where I do what I want to do. Some days it's just being on my phone all day and others I go on adventures or hang out with friends. I try and just go with the flow.
@Goldcherry2113
Nice that you try to take that day Goldcherry, going with the flow sounds relaxing.
I think it's really important to schedule in some fun during the week. Sometimes, though, it can add some stress for me if I get too busy with the "musts" and worry about the fun, and then the fun starts to feel like one of the "musts".
Hoping to make some time to relax with a book this week.
@glowingRainfall1086
Seeing having fun as a must takes away the relaxation, good point. Hope you get to read that book, what is it about if I may ask?
@amiablePeace77
Yes, I Try to.... Saturdays are typically the day of the week I try to do that. Get out and about with my hubby, shop, visit different places, do different things, or just simply enjoy the weather and the day.~
Sometimes it can be a "random" day during the week as well. But that is usually on a "spur of the moment".~
@PoliteOcean
Great idea to reserve that special day for fun and also spending quality time with your hubby but nice that you're keeping some flexibility, sometimes the day we want to do it just doen't work out so shifting it to another day is good.
i've been trying hard to let myself get out and do things with people more and it has been helping with my anxiety to not be holed up in my room for weeks. i have always been good at giving rewards like a break or some time to do the things that i love in-between work
@mobteru
Staying hidden in your room can make anxiety even much worse, glad you're getting out!
yup ive definitely been learning that, im glad i am too!
@mobteru
Awesome!
@amiablePeace77 Do you schedule fun throughout the week?
I try to schedule some fun every day even if it is only playing a word game for a few minutes.
@soulsings
Great you take that quality time, even if it's just for a few minutes!
@amiablePeace77
I'm usually pretty good at giving myself rewards during the day. After I finish an important task, especially if it took muliple hours, my reward is relaxing with my favorite tea. Sometimes in the evenings I like to wind down with an anime episode or reading.
@cafedaydreams
I hear you, nothing better to sit down and just relax with a good cup of tea or your favorite drink after work!
hmm... i think I've been expecting myself to come up with bigger "fun" items than taking a nice break with tea. I'll have to experiment with making little rituals of everyday pleasures like that. thank you...
@determinedWater1229
Great idea to make it a ritual! What could be part of your fun ritual?
@amiablePeace77
I try to make time for fun on the weekdays but I always get stressed out over how much time I have or don't have before work. The weekends I go out with my husband and then work so those days I get fun in, need to work on my schedule when it comes to the weekdays..I like the way of looking at this as the rewards being small but focused. Thank youuuu
@raininglillies13
I hope you will find a way to integrate that fun time in your week, having fun helps to destress and can also increase your performance at work. Nice though that weekends include fun times!
I try to schedule in some me time, but fail to maintain it with work & studying because I end up focusing on that instead of the fun activities to do. Suppose I might only see the musts in life, I do have a checklist of things to do each day 😓
@Harmony8682
Work and studying is important but hey fun too! 
How about putting some me-time on your to-do-list? It might even increase your performance at work and study and also keep you motivated and what is most important healthy!
Yes! Fun is definitely part of me, who I am, and what I do! It's also a priority for me to enjoy whatever I'm doing, so it feels fun!
@onwardforevenmore
I really like what you mentioned about enjoying whatever you're doing, so it feels fun. So many things, even work, can feel like fun when we really like doing them.
