Daily Mindfulness Check-In May 25, 2022
Hello everyone in the Mindfulness Community, I hope you are doing okay ❤️
Self-care is our relationship with ourselves. It also mirrors our relationship with our life and the people in it. When we start to de-prioritize our own self-care, for the sake of our careers, friendships, and relationships, we’re inevitably just one step away from destroying everything we’ve worked so hard to build.
Do you feel that you have enough time for yourself or that you rather would have more time to care about your needs and/or do things you like?
What did you do for self care today?

Hello @amiablePeace77,
Maybe this is the day you start your new life, I mean not in a physical, but in a technical sense, and you'd learn shortly how. Let me layout your objectives to you. Many of you might passively be aware of them, but until these objectives are said out, they generally don't enter your conscious mind.Accordingly, you don't know what's your goal. So let me clarify once and for all; your objectives are to attain and execute the highest level of scholarship, character, community service, and leadership. When I say scholarship, I do not mean a Fulbright Scholarship. Well, it's nothing less than a privilege to have one, but i mean to talk about scholarship in a more generic and holistic sense.
@AidenorQiangde
Thanks for sharing. I do believe a fulbright scholarship is something very special.
@amiablePeace77
Do you feel that you have enough time for yourself..... or that you'd rather have more time to care about your needs and/or do things you like?....Presently/recently I have way more time on my hands than I've had in along time. I've taken a long break from many things. So I definitely have plenty of time for myself right now.
What did you do for self care today?.... a little journaling, meditation, & two brief walks, one in the afternoon with my dog, & again in the evening with my husband.
@PoliteOcean
Nice to hear that you can take time for yourself now and enjoy things like walking, journaling and meditation!
@amiablePeace77
Do you feel that you have enough time for yourself or that you rather would have more time to care about your needs and/or do things you like? No matter how much time I allocate, there are always things to be done so I have to prioritize.
What did you do for self care today? I did an exercise class and had my comfort food that was healthy and did a wash.
@soulsings
It's so true, there is always something to do so prioritizing tasks including self care sounds good to avoid getting stressed out. Nice you had a healthy comfort food, what did you have? 😊
I am regularly and consistently sleeping early and it's adding such value and quality to my life and health.
@RideaRainbow
Good to hear that going to sleep early makes your life better. Our bodies love routines, particularly sleep and eating routines!
@amiablePeace77 I don’t feel like I have enough time for things for myself. There’s a lot I’m neglecting like exercise and hobbies. I look at what I have going on, and not very much of it seems to be in my control to change. Maybe more is than I think, but I don’t like the consequences. I do have a little bit of time for myself in the mornings that I do things for myself, like right now writing here. But you’re right that it does build up.
@EmbracingChaos
Sorry to hear that you're neglecting things which are good for you. Sometimes it can be really tough to decide what has priority but I do believe our well-being always comes first. I hope there will be time enough for you in the weekends to exercise and do your hobbies?
@amiablePeace77 I completely agree with you. I see the results when I don’t make time for myself. My husband does too. He can tell when I’m getting burnt out and sick. We actually talked about it some yesterday, and he wants to slow things down for us a little.
@EmbracingChaos
Sometimes the people close to us realize it faster than we ourselves. Nice that your husband is supportive.
@amiablePeace77
hmmm 50/50 on having enough time for me. Sometimes you just can not. But I also have observed that "my time" would include doing something fun and quiet with others just the same. For me today I done nothing so far. But I am thinking of a nap as I didnt sleep to well lastnight. Also I ate a good lunch
@RumpleSteeleSkin
Sometimes life gets really hectic particularly if you're in a caregiver job and have to make sure everyone else is taken care of. I find it important though just making sure you get a short time maybe in the eve and when there is more free time you do take it for yourself.
Sorry that you had a night with poor sleep, hope you could take your nap Rumple.
@amiablePeace77Well yesterday Ami I made 3 loaves of bread, some corn bread muffins and some cinniminnieee swirl breakfast cake. All those foods I love. So I do self care just not daily. I get to tired on some days. As long as I serve others and my family and get "me time" through the week I believe I am doing good❤️
@RumpleSteeleSkin
Wish I could have been there to share the food with you, sounds yummy! 😊 I think the most important thing is not to forget self care at all but keep doing it. Life as a caregiver and parent can leave you with little time some days.
@amiablePeace77 we always have enough time to take care of ourselves, our needs and things we like... It's just us who have to recognise it ...and give ourselves that enough time ... I realised something...if you can't take care of yourself properly...you can't take care of others also.... According to me if you take care of yourself...you will be more calm and responsive rather than being reactive and frustrated.... So you take care of our loved ones also like care about yourself....afterall we can't ignore our loved ones as they are a part of our life and share happy and sad moments with us....
So... As my body is sweaty and emits a bad odour... I use perfume...my friends doesn't have a good response to perfumes.... We were on a trip in bus and they were next to me... They told me they are uncomfortable with the smell of my perfume... I explained them my problem...and sat in other seat...to solve their problem... I cant stop using perfume and can't make my loved ones uncomfortable....that's what I did for my self care today😇😇
@evolvingphoenix8989
Sometimes we just can't make it right for everybody evolvingphoenix8989 but I believe you were very considerate! Glad you self-cared.
