Mindfulness Check In April29th - May 2nd 2024
This week's post is about self care through mindfulness.
Self care is asking our self what our needs are and how important they are to us. Self care is making sure we have a healthy goal in our life.
Self care is defined as is taking an active role in a person's well being, making sure we are happy and using valuable tool to ensure we are living a healthy life.
A self care plan is similar to a roadmap having it laid out for us to follow. How do we create a plan is defined in the following.

2. Make notes of barriers that may get in our way and how to work on them.
3. Share the plan with family, spouse or friends

@pamharley003 I'm trying to be mindful right now, last night I had a nightmare, I woke up shaking and crying, the crying lasted well into today, 14 hours that's not normal is it!. I've taken my night meds and I'm having a hot drink before I go to sleep, gonna sleep with the light on to night. I'm a bit afraid to fall asleep after last night. But I'm taking deep breaths and trying to think happy thoughts, it will be ok! I'm fine! Just think happy thoughts
@Tinywhisper11
sorry you had trouble sleeping, it happens to me also where i wake up screaming or crying, so your not alone on this. 💗
@pamharley003 it's so scary, their so realistic😥 I don't like these memories😞 are your nightmares about last traumas too? What helps you? I never know what to do, how to calm down. It's hard to do breathing exercises when your so scared
@Tinywhisper11. I keep repeating to myself….. It’s just a memory of a past event, it will pass.
@adventurousBranch3786 🙂 thankyou ❤❤ I will try that ❤
When I think about how important my needs are to me, I consider that the only thing motivating me typically is the punishment down the road of not having done it. But that still doesn't cause me to want to consider my needs important. Just an unfortunate function of reality that we fall apart without it, and the desire to not want to suffer more later on.

Thank you for another great post pam!
What are some self care ways you can use in mindfulness? When practicing Mindfulness how do you feel afterwards?
Mindfulness practises like deep breathing teach me to become aware of my feelings, understand to what they are related to and to take back control of my mental well-being by engaging in something to help myself. This can be talking to someone or doing an activity. Usually I feel much better after it and realize emotions come but they leave us again as well if we do not cling to them.
