Mindfulness Daily Check-In March 13, 2020

Hi Hi wonderful people in the mindfulness community laugh

Weekend is almost here again, just one day more for most of us and then time to relax, I hope the following exercise will help with it.

Cues surprise

A cue is a trigger or command that helps you to calm like for example peace or relax.

Here is how you can train your mind to accept the cue:

Take some deep breaths in through the nose out through the mouth

With your eyes closed, imagine the sun shining down on you. Notice how warm and soothing the sun light makes you feel. Feel your muscles relaxing.

Breathe in through the nose, out slowly saying RELAX

enlightenedPractise this 2x a day and record how long it take you to feel relaxed.

Would love to hear from you about it smiley

Note: If sunlight triggers you please imagine a white beam of light coming from the sky filling you with calm and warmth.

@amiablePeace77 nice check in Ami. I sat here and done this and I actually could feel some heat on my dark curly hairsurprise

Ha for real. I think it was because I let myself totally be in that moment and vision. And I know the sun heats up my dark hair making my head warm. Also the closing of the eyes is a new thing I am getting into doing mindfulness-as I never close my eyes. Thank you for this as it has been hectic all around me due to the virus and stuff. Shopping took longer and things were gone-well I am home and comfy and relaxed now.heart

@RumpleSteeleSkin

Rumple, glad you're home now and can relax. All this "Unknown" with the virus seems to create lots of high emotions everywhere, same here so it's good to take some time out from all of it and just calm. Hugs, please stay safe.

So, the idea is to create a Pavlovian-like response? Sorry for being a little confused!

@betterchoices

We create a positive trigger which results in a conditioned response = so, yes, I guess it's like the Pavlovian response.
