Daily Check-In Jan. 18, 2019
Hello lovely mindfulness community, how was your week?
Recently I read something about the importance of how we look at others and so today, I like to share some points of it with you.
How do you look at people?
Do you smile, do you say please?
How is the tone of your voice?
The tone of your voice changes the message of what you are saying, make it look like if you where asking was it hard or difficult or like if you dont care. People remember this.
I would be exited to hear from you about this.

@amiablePeace77 ha Peace this check in comes right up my way for today
Car issues plus I really do not want to work today as I'm burnt out. So boss calling, family members calling and offering their car for me till mine comes out of shop and so one. So, I kinda was sharp on my words as not cause of the other person, but me getting stressed on a day off I choose to take-lol
How do you look at people?
I try to make the first impression a good one. But at times my anxiety shows first. So it's another "Im sorry" role I am used to
Do you smile, do you say please?
Yes I do both of those
How is the tone of your voice?
If anxiety is there I am quick and short to respond. So I know this sets of people cause they do not understand.
@RumpleSteeleSkin
Rumple, sounds like a real hard day, car problems suck! glad you had people offering a car so that you can get around and don't have to worry about that. When anxiety kicks in we all react completely different to how we do on a usual basis, our perceptions change too, that's what I experienced. When making sure we get enough sleep and healthy food it's a different story. I hope you can rest and overcome burn out. Don't forget that there are lots of people who care for you🧡
@amiablePeace77 aaww Peace yes I am looked after by a few good people. I do try very hard to cover/mask when my anxiety is high and I have to interact with people. But then I feel I am cheating out myself as then I do not go right to my skills to try and control or manage this better. So, it's all in a life long process I say.
@RumpleSteeleSkin
Covering it is hard and doesn't work out well all the time. I guess at the end there is nothing left than dealing with it and accepting like you said.
doing some mindful living today i got in a mindfulness book. it all adds up. texted a friend who has left work due to depression and he was grateful someone contacted him. that made me happy. win win :)
@24963534
You are a truly caring friend and yes, it all adds up. Helping others helps us too and everybody benefits from it.
@amiablePeace77 I find when I smile at people, even if they look at me with a look of shock, I feel a lot better.
I find I talk to people more and that also helps me feel a lot better, even just talking small talk.
@soulsings
Soul I think nowadays people are not used to get a smile from strangers because lots of people are so busy that giving another person a smile is not a common thing. I still do it too and agree it opens the door to more conversation, like sending a signal to the other "You are welcome"
@amiablePeace77 I agree that it is not common in public places. There is so much fear that people feel safer with no contact although some are really engaging.
I was at the post office and preparing to leave and saw somebody holding the door. Three people went out and they continued to hold the door. They held it for me and I said to them "This could turn into a full time job!" They heartily laughed and we connected for that moment. And then I went on but we both felt better.
@soulsings
Thank you for sharing these beautiful moments with us. Just showing some kindness, a smile, courtesy can change the whole day.
I always do my best to be kind to others, Even if I'm having a bad day. I don't wanna be the reason someones day got worse.
@Tinycupcake
That is so beautiful, it truly shows that you have a kind heart 🧡. I hope you get lots of smiles too.
