Daily Mindfulness Check-In November 22, 2021
Holidays can be stressful. With a little mindfulness, we can, however, we can avoid the chaos or all the stomach pains after heavy meals. For example, it is good to eat slowly, to chew and taste your food. It helps with digestion, and knowing when you are full. It also increases enjoyment.
How can you make your Thanksgiving (or any holiday if you do not celebrate it) a more mindful experience?

@amiablePeace77
Take time for yourself
@greenYard2803
Agreed greenYard, something important to make it a regular routine.
@amiablePeace77 - - I don't celebrate thanksgiving myself, but I believe I would greatly appreciate from being more thankful anyway. Perhaps I will begin some gratitude journalling again at some point, and do some gratitude mindfulness exercises. ❤️
What about you, Ami?
@robynlouise
Sounds good!
@robynlouise
Doing Mindfulness exercises and gratitude journalling sounds good. I personally like to take some time to reflect on where I came from and where I am now, be thankful for what is there, knowing so many people suffer from hunger, are homeless, live in conditions which are very hard to cope with.
I love that! Reflecting on progress can be motivating and positive for us ❤️
@amiablePeace77
hi!! I’ve just moved from the center of the USA to the Pacific Northwest. It seems like everything is a mindful experience as everything is new.
I will be celebrating with my family this week and will take every possible moment to take in the new “world”. 😀
@yzzil
I hope you will enjoy your new surroundings. There is so much to explore from what I read about the Pacific Northwest.
@amiablePeace77
How can you make your Thanksgiving a mindful experience?
I try to spend some time with each relative and friend; it is a time to reflect on how each person has impacted my life throughout the year. It reminds me that those in our life have a purpose; not just because they are related to me or that they are friend of mine; but they have worth to me and I should be grateful to have such good people around me. And that I hope that I, too, am a good relative and friend. Sometimes in our hectic life we tend to forget to acknowledge those who value to us as we value them.
@xandia
That sounds like a very mindful time. You're so right about forgetting to acknowledge those we value, it is something important, I'm guilty of it too, since I'm not a person of "big words" but I do feel thankful. Got to work on it as well, thanks for your reminder.
@amiablePeace77
Hi Ami thank you for this check in-you must be in my mind or something lol.
How can you make your Thanksgiving (or any holiday if you do not celebrate it) a more mindful experience?
Today is just Monday and I am going bat crazy. I have to get my house cleaned and ready for Thursday and also work. Plus pick up food and pet donations and get them out. Plus do my leadership stuff here. I am maintaining but little things tick me-lol. However, I am trying to stop all work when dinner time is. That way I have 1-2 hours before bed time for me and my kiddo.
Thank you Ami for this mindful reminder to us all❤️
@RumpleSteeleSkin
Nice that you still take those hours for yourself and the kids despite your busy day Rumple ❤️
@amiablePeace77
Thanksgiving day is one of the few times where being mindful actually becomes easier for me. We always have the dinner at my grandmother's house with some of my other relatives that decide to come down. A lot of my time is spent in the kitchen helping my grandma either make breads or with some other task. Others sit in the living room and chat. It's generally a relaxing time with few conflict.
My grandma's house also has this really nice sunroom filled with plants that is the perfect place to sit and slow down.
@cafedaydreams
Wow, that sounds really cozy. I can visualize this sunroom (might not be as it is of course) but sitting in the midst of plants must feel wonderful.
Honestly, I'm looking forward to a day of relaxing and doing what I want. I haven't had such a day since September. (Yes, I'm quite overdue lol)
@777Bre777
You are in for this day for a long time 777Bre777! 😊 I hope you can make those Me-Days a regular!
@amiablePeace77 mindful Thanksgiving?
Well our day will be simple and I will participate in Mindfulness at 5PM EST on Thursday. What a wonderful way to practice mindfulness, together.
@soulsings
Sounds good soul! Look forward to practising together.
