Daily Mindfulness Check-in 20th May 2020
Hi Mindfulness Community!
I hope you are well today! I thought we could share 3 things that we are grateful for today. I know this has been done time and time again but it's so important to try and focus on gratitude daily if you can and especially when times are challenging. Studies have shown that focusing on gratitude leads to increased feelings of happiness, more empathy and compassion for others and less anxiety on focusing on what we do not have in life.
Please share what 3 things you are grateful for today. Keep it simple and focused on whatever you feel grateful for! Remember sometimes even the smallest things matter the most to us :)

Please share what 3 things you are grateful for today
1. The love I have from my family. They make time for me when I call even when their busy in their own life.
2. The love from my B oyfriend- He knows of my health issues whether physical or mental nad makes time to be there to help me work them out. The love my fur baby gives me when Mommy is not 100 % her best
3. The frfiends in my offline and friends I have made here on 7 cups.
I would say,
The feeling of the sun, The smell of spring/summer, and my furbabies.
I am grateful for; my family, music, and meditation
@LisaDeRegtMBPsS
Most grateful for my cat, my family, and my counselor
I'm grateful for the Aquarium of the Pacific Youtube livestreams! Being able to check in on the fish exhibits is a fun way to mentally get out of the house, and have some real-time compay while I do some work!
I'm grateful for Minecraft, for being a fun game my boyfriend and I can play together.
I'm grateful for my family. :)

HI Lisa and thank you for this check in today. It is important to visit gratitude regularly as sometimes we tend to forget the good in our storms. I am grateful for healthy kids and animals, for my home and everything in it as well as not running out of food or water
Hi all of you,
Aw, these are just beautiful things to be grateful for! Thank you for sharing all of you. Keep them coming :) They are so lovely to read.
@LisaDeRegtMBPsS great idea. Thanks
Grateful for
Breathing, when I take a breath and let it out, I feel it takes away some of my worries
Yoga, when I practice yoga I feel more relaxed
Friends and family, when I talk to them I remember the joy of living.
@soulsings
Soul, what beautiful things you have to be grateful for! Yoga is amazing isn't it? :)
Friends who listen and talk to me, spend time with me and involve me in their lives.
The comforts, securities, services, and opportunities living in a developed country affords me. I am grateful every second for the chances here to live a comfortable, safe, happy life.
My education and ability to use the tools I bring with me from my many years of experience. So grateful that I can survive and start over anywhere and am independent, wise enough to seek and form friendships, bonds, and networks to help me, and connect with people to give and love.
@onwardforevenmore
This is such a wonderful list and so many amazing things to be grateful for. Thank you so much for sharing with us!
Definitely not the right dates, but I decided that mean anything. June 20th I saw a potential in myself to work on my patience. Really interested in speaking with a therapist. I'm really good at breaking down thoughts and seeing a different prospective but I know there's a layer I haven't seen yet. That's the layer I need to really embrace my journey. I'm still highly impatient and highly annoyed very quickly. It's very easy to set back in my old ways but now that I notice the behavior I'm beginning to change how I respond. Even though sometimes I have to take a deep breathe before I do. If anyone reads this and has some tips. Please don't be shy. I'm open and willing to look into all ideas to be change and be a better person
@Antoniette12
It's great to see that you're reaching out and asking for ideas! Hopefully, you will receive some amazing suggestions to this post soon and I will try to work on some tips and add those to the check-in on Wednesday :)
