Mindfulness Daily Check-In March 30, 2020
Hello everyone in the Mindfulness Community. 
How was your weekend?
There can be days, we are not happy with ourselves, we might feel not having achieved anything 
. So today I like to invite you to make a
List of your accomplishments
—even the small ones— and add to it daily. Youll have to let go of a little discontentment to make space for this self-satisfaction.

My weekend was pretty normal, not different from any other day of the week. what i accomplished was my assignments for the following week, planting new seeds, and cooking good food.
@8Moonlight

@amiablePeace77 Thank you so much!!
@amiablePeace77 I did my exercises today.
@soulsings
Awesome soul, did you do Tai Chi classes?
@amiablePeace77 I have Tai Chi DVDs and do 5 minute Tai Chi on youtube.
All in person classes cancelled till at least May 4
@soulsings
I guess the people will be happy when they can come again to practise Tai Chi with you.
Have you thought about doing Tai Chi videos and post them on YouTube?
@amiablePeace77 well there are enough teachers. I am happy to be student.
@soulsings
guess you're a very good student too because of your patience
@amiablePeace77 thanks for this idea! Good to celebrate the positives, the wins! I feel lucky I have worked from home for almost 2 decades.
Interviewed an expert around the world in Australia for an article I'm writing for a client
Got a new project from a new client - yay. I'll be set money-wise for April!
Helped a friend update his resume to hopefully get a new/better job/project since his company's client is going away...
Helped another friend practice English and learn something about investing!
Made great hot soup!
Walked and talked with a friend on the phone!
Doing my weekly report...
Saw and ruled out 2 more apartments since I still need a place to live...
@onwardforevenmore
Wow onward, so many positive things! Hope you will find the right place to live very soon.
Hello friends,
Lately I have been reading more about the Shambala Buddhist interpretation of mindfulness. I appreciate the mix of kindness and logic that I have been finding. Most importantly, I have tried to internalize the teaching that there is no good or bad, there are only experiences and our perceptions of them. It is the series of expectations that we set for our lives and circumstances that lead to dissapointment and suffering not the events themselves.The main goal is to accept life for exactly what it is without judgement. I found this to be a reassuring point of view. I cannot change all of my life circumstances, but with enough work, I can change my expectations and perception of it.
Let's see what did I do today....
* a whole bunch of laundry
* walked my dog
* watered my plants
* got some groceries
* picked up my dog's perscription
* spent too much time on Reddit
* played animal crossing on my 3DS
* conference called with my extended family
* ordered a new laundry hamper for my bedroom
* tidied my room up a little
* texted with my boyfriend
* researched how to start a vegetable garden
@passionateMango2156
I like what you said about changing expectations and perception because that can solve the problem we have already.
You got a lot done 👍 Maybe set a timer next time on Reddit 😉
@amiablePeace77
Thank you and yeah good advice about Reddit hehe. Sometimes I just can't put it down.
Some ercent accomplishments:
1) I took care of my physical health during a weird situation, and didn't beat myself up for having to neglect other responsibilities!
2) I have been knocking things off of my really old and long to do list! It'd be so great to finish the whole list by the time quarantine is up.
3) I spent some quality time with my boyfriend yesterday and this morning!
@betterchoices
Thank you for coming here and sharing these points. Glad you hear you make good use of the quarantine time, guess you will be thankful for what you did lateron when things are getting busy again.
@amiablePeace77
so i was able to wake up earlier, pray more than what i did yesterday, and spend more time on 7cups.
@positivePumpkin22
That's awesome, a little extra time during the day can change so much.
@amiablePeace77

@ThisTooShallPass2016
Thank you for coming in and sharing all these wonderful points. You did really great!
What I like most though is, that you celebrated yourself for doing it, being proud of yourself and you surely have all reason for it! 
@amiablePeace77
Thank you for the subtle reminder. It's small things like this (in addition to my faith) that are keeping me grounded right now.
@ThisTooShallPass2016 I hear you.
Also the mindfulness discussions help. Having one at 5PM EDT in mindfulness room. Door opens at 4:50PM EDT
@ThisTooShallPass2016
You are very welcome, I too need reminders from time to time
I got most of my sister in laws stuffed moved out of our apartment and Got the closet cleaned out.
@Goldcherry2113
Hope you gave yourself a pad on your shoulder
