Daily Mindfulness Check-In June 8, 2022
Happy Wednesday everyone in Mindfulness 😊
I used to have very critical self talk, putting myself down, blaming me for everything that went wrong years ago. Gladly I learned step by step to change this self talk, a lot with the help of people here at 7 cups. When it comes to happiness the way you speak to yourself matters. As you cultivate positive self talk, your life grows more and more beautiful.
What are some things you say to support yourself in tough situations?

@amiablePeace77
Happy Wednesday to you too! 😊
When I face a tough situation, it's important for me to focus on what really matters. Our mental health can sometimes be hidden and forgotten about, but it's deeply important that we put this first. I think of ways to show myself I am capable and strong enough to face anything, I motivate myself and with self care make things happen. Yes sometimes there can be wobbles and different directions in the path, but even the smallest things bring you a step closer in achieving your goal.
Please never forget, you are all strong, phenomenal, beautiful and llamazing people! 💛💛
@LlamaLizz
Hello Lizz nice to see you here today. Like wowzers Wednesday already-where did Monday go lol. I totally agree with you on remembering and focusing on our own mental health. When we lose that I believe we are on that "roller coaster". I really like the positive things you do to make sure YOU are on target. Thank you for sharing this with us! awww thank you Lizz and I believe you are a wonderful caring and kind person❤️
@amiablePeace77
😳Wowzers Ami😳🐘 I sometimes say-Are you in my daily life??
What are some things you say to support yourself in tough situations?
The most important thing I say to myself is "Do not own anything that is not yours"
Meaning I will not hold on to guilt sadness anger or anything else from another person. They need to be help accountable and own their own stuff and not bounce it on me.😊❤️🐘
@RumpleSteeleSkin
Good point. Setting boundaries between what belong to us and what not is important!
@amiablePeace77 What are some things you say to support yourself in tough situations?
Avoid reacting with anger, it only makes me feel miserable. Instead find a safe place to collect my thoughts and see how I can avoid confrontation.
@soulsings
You came a long way soul!
I can relate to this post. I am still working on this, but I find rationalising the situation helps and not becoming emotionally involved in a situation. Looking at it more objectively. Also, Meditating and gardening helps clear my head, then I can reflect on things which happen better.
@Harmony8682
Nice that meditation and gardening helps you to clear your head!
@amiablePeace77
What are some things you say to support yourself in tough situations?
At first i get tense no doubt as yet i am on developing stage of mindfulness. Than i take deep breathe and let not think of anything. Observe my negative thought and let it go.
Than i take pen and paper so i can rationalise my thought and find solution.
Still i have to learn to stop reacting instant in few situation or reacting one emotions into other situation. Anybody have tips can suggest me.
@blindHeart12
Observing your thoughts and writing them down as well as to find a solution instead of following and clinging to them sounds very helpful. I hope with practise it will also get better with those situations which are still difficult rn. Something I find helpful to avoid an instant reaction is to count to 10 or even more if needed. This can be done silently too. I also use massaging my finger tops which I find relaxing and repeating a calming mantra.
@amiablePeace77
Thank you for suggestion i will try.
I tell myself affirmations like I can get through anything and I am capable.
@sailormoon97 positive self talk like you mentioned really helps me
@amiablePeace77
I find self affirmation difficult. It's hard for me. Like I can 'hand on heart' say im a good person and I know I'm genuine with my actions and not a hypocrite. But life has a way of beating you up. You get dazed when the hurt resurfaces and wonder why?
@imaginativePear6493
We will never be able to cancel out all problems and challenges in life but we can do our best to learn to handle them. I find it easier to tell myself things I can truly believe like for example "I will do the best I can".
I keep calm n composed, don't indulge in knee-jerk reaction and maintain my dignity and peace of mind through silence.
Dealt with an extremely ugly situation today with a very toxic person and kept my sanity only through silence.
@RideaRainbow
Congratulations RideRainbow! I can imagine it wasn't easy but you did well! How did you self-care after that "encounter"?
It wasn't easy but then I said to myself that anyone can take anything from me but my peace of mind, so once again it was my PMT = Positive Mental Thinking.
Way to go!
