Nevertheless, the best way for me to chill is to sleep earlier. I also do some sports, but not very often…I like swimming for example, but it’s always very cold in Canada that I didn’t want to go outside anymore.
@ihavearedapple
I hear you ihavearedapple, having had enough good sleep makes such a difference the next day. Swimming is a great exercise for the whole body, could you go into a place like a fitness center or public pool to swim in the cold season?
@amiablePeace77
Well, first I need an exercise routine! LOL I know I need one, and that would help with the mindfulness aspect of things - I just can't seem to get motivated enough to start exercising.
@thoughtfulmomma
How about starting with 5 min. stretching in the morning or doing something you really like during the day just for a short while? Do you like dancing?
@amiablePeace77
I really should just put something on YouTube - dancing, stretching, something to get me moving. I'm just so lazy about it! LOL
@thoughtfulmomma
I hope you will. Often it works best just doing it without thinking "shall I or shall I not" 😉 and having something already available like a playlist does help.
Here is a 5 min. morning yoga https://youtu.be/4C-gxOE0j7s
by slowing down, everything, pausing, holding things longer, to give myself and my body time to feel, absorb, notice, reflect, label, witness, understand, and release whatever is happening during the exercise. Slowing down also gives us more time to check OTHER parts of the body that may be neglected or never even checked while we go so fast... sometimes a brief check/inventory of our feelings/reactions/the present we only look at the obvious things; by slowing down, we have more time to check the un-obvious things too that we never would have normally checked! (like how our pelvis reacts when we move our neck a certain direction)...
@onwardforevenmore
This is a great way to exercise mindfully and also to learn about your body!
@amiablePeace77 How could you bring mindfulness to your exercise routine?
I try to connect with my breath when I exercise. That helps me stay oxygenated and also aware of the moment.
@soulsings
Nice soul, breathing in a wrong way (too fast or too slow) or holding the breath can do more harm than good when exercising.
@amiablePeace77 It has been a while since I did my tai-chi exercises. Puts me in a good mood and the body scretches I do along with it. Makes me feel light on my feet.
@MoonLightShadow423
Nice that you benefit from Tai Chi, it's a great way to keep the body and mind flexible. I hope you can get back to it soon, here is a link to a short Tai Chi. I like the calming music.

@amiablePeace77
🌞How could you bring mindfulness to your exercise routine?.....As a Fitness Instructor, I have taught many formats over the years. All of them bring a sense of mindfulness in some way. When I teach any type of "strength" exercise, there's mindfulness in the movements, the repetitions, and the "form". Which all helps with increasing the advantage of the exercise itself, but also helps in avoiding any injury.
Also with teaching "Cardio", its similar... being mindful in our movements and steps, being mindful of being able to push our limits a bit, while also being aware of our limits as well ...(watching heart-rate, respirations etc...) and avoiding injuries. With an overall end result of walking away from the exercises feeling our best, and feeling accomplished.
@PoliteOcean
Thank you for sharing this helpful information with us!
Being mindful with whatever we do will give better results in my view.
For me meditation and mindfulness exercises help me be present and get me in the ‘zone’ before physical activity.
@LovingPeacefulHeart
Great idea to get into a mindful state before starting to work out physically. I believe it helps to reduce the risk of injuries from for example overstretching or taking too heavy weights.
@amiablePeace77
I like to ride my mountain bike in the forest Where au can jump some small hills. I enjoy it so much. I walk with my dog also. And sometimes mountain hike.
@kala
Sounds like a lot of fun!
This year, I've hiked a trail. I went with my family. I do t usually do trainings because it's boring and I'm not motivated to, but my sister was here. I like following her. She's competitive. That's all my trainings I'll do. I struggle but am very happy that I was challenged by the terrain.
@tealBear2472
Sounds like you had fun with the challenge. Are you thinking about doing it again, maybe with a friend?
Depends on how tired I am. Between work, virtual school, and audio visual repairs. I'm tired. I try to bike or go for long walks.
@MoonLightShadow423
It's seems that you're having very busy days, nice that you still make time to exercise and relax in walks.
