Mindfulness Daily Check-In February 28, 2020

Hello lovely people in the mindfulness community, how is everyone doing today? 
Feeling good in your own skin 
Trying to please others constantly to feel validated or to be a perfectionist puts you in a self-imposed prison. Finding self-worth within yourself allows you to become comfortable with who you are.
What is something you do already or can do to work on your self-esteem to feel better in your own skin?

I can keep up with my yoga, and other things that require routine discipline. That way I can feel good and, in turn, feel good about myself.
@betterchoices good to see you here! Yoga and other things that require routine discipline can keep you realy focused and mindful of you. Yes I am happy that these things make you feel good about you. Keep up the good work!!
I journal. It taught me a lot about myself and helps me keep track of my goals so I know I'm making progress. It helps me to accept my imperfections and is a place to release emotions

@RumpleSteeleSkin
Thanks ^ω^
What is something you do already or can do to work on your self-esteem to feel better in your own skin?
I know that I need to work on self discipline, I always put things off and get mad at myself for not doingt them or I feel that I'm wasting time.
@Goldcherry2113 I'm happy to see you here with us! Please don't feel bad on self discipline and putting things off. We all do it time to time-honest. May I suggest maybe leaving sticky notes, reminders on your phone, notes on a calendar to help you with not forgetting things or putting things off. I do hope this gets better for you.
@amiablePeace77 For me accepting chronic illness and the physical limitations that comes with it.
@adventurousBranch3786 I'm glad to see you now
To accept your chronic illness and physical limitations is very hard. Both of these really do hit hard on your self-esteem. I really do commend you on the accepting part. Keep up this work hun as I know you are a special person
I just got a haircut on Thursday and I felt immensely better! I love it - it's short, looks great, I feel lighter, bouncy and it has lifted my spirit! It was time, waaaay overdue actually!
@onwardforevenmore Yay for your hair cut and you feeling immensely better!!
Sometimes something as little as a haircut can boost our self esteem high. I'm so glad that this made you feel awesome

@amiablePeace77
Thanks for the question From my class I have learned that before I can fix a hole in the wall I need to recognize that there is an actual hole there. Then I need tools to fix the hole with.
So for me I never realized just how much of an impact trauma can inflict on a person, which in turn causes faulty programming being downloaded into us as children and resides there even after adulthood. Challenging my thoughts, observeing my, actions and investigating why I have low self esteem stems from a rot. What was that seed that was downloaded into me caused me to have feelings of not being enough, or caused attachment issues or codependent qualities. Which makes me feel like I am unworthy of love or the good life. Who downloaded into us makes a tremendous effect on how we see ourselves today.
@scarletPear1945 -oh wow I really do like how you shared this.
ahh yes trauma CAN cause re-wiring in our brains and not the right way. Our main issues that stick within us does normally come from a "root" meaning a main issue that affects us in a lot of things. I wish now that you could let that seed go. Let it drop out of you and dry up. Let a new seed come in and develope into a beautiful flower. I really loved what you shared here- thank you

@amiablePeace77 doing little jobs that I know I can accomplish like doing the dishes and being aware of the dishes as I do them
@soulsings good to see you! Doing the dishes and being able to "actually" feel those bubbles and smell your dish soap is very mindful. I do this 2 times a week as those are my turns. I got lemon dish soap and I swear I'm doing a little dishes for over 30 minutes. Thank you Souls for sharing
@RumpleSteeleSkin watch out Rumple that lemon dish soap can be habit forming. lol
you may ask to do dishes ever night 
@soulsings lmao!! I've done them 2 times this week. But I find I use that dish soap to also clean my dog kennel out as it smells so so good. But I do love washing dishes. Thanks for giving me a laugh
