Hey, Rumple Thank you for this fun post!

1. Why did you want to lead mindfulness discussions? Why did you want to support others in the forums and do daily check-ins?I lead mindfulness discussions, support others in the forums, and do daily check-ins because I enjoy teaching others about the benefits of mindfulness and how to practice mindfulness. I enjoy being here with you all and building this community together.

2. What do you enjoy about mindfulness? I enjoy that mindfulness makes us show up for our lives; puts out the welcome mat for our thoughts, feelings, and emotions; and can decrease anxiety and depression symptoms.

3. Do you have any hobbies-if you what are they? Writing, studying Hebrew, playing Pokemon Go

4. What is your favorite food to eat? Pasta and fruit!

5. Can you share a time doing mindfulness that really made an impact on you? I was practicing mindfulness while cleaning. I dislike cleaning, but I became aware of how thankful I should be for having a home and things to clean. Being mindful helped me become more grateful for basic chores and mundane tasks, and I really appreciate that.

What I enjoy about mindfulness is seeing all the sharings and creative things many bring together for the community. I also love all the support and acceptance I see. I also enjoy meeting new people and getting to know them.

3. Do you have any hobbies-if you what are they?

I love to plant and prune all my plants I have. Since I don't have no area outside I bring it into my home. I also like using mindfulness to plant and feel the dirt and plant. I also am very creative and love doing holiday gifts.

4. What is your favorite food to eat?

I love burritos, avocados, chips and a nice cold salad. But mostly coffee I notice I love alot of comfort foods thanks to mindfulness and observing this.

5. Can you share a time doing mindfulness that really made an impact on you?

I met someone whose mind was racing alot due to their mental health. They were so scared of trying new things. So little by little they join the discussions, join in forums with a "hi" then I get a message that they tried a body scan for the first time and they really enjoyed it. Had them so relaxed it made them sleep well that night.

FOR SHARING THAT WITH US

@RumpleSteeleSkin and @EmunahHere I really enjoyed reading your answers. I'm thankful to have the privilege of getting to know you. 🤗

1. Why did you want to support others in the forums and do daily check-ins?

Everyday is a new day and likely to have some thoughtful thoughts with a feeling to share and see what others have an opinion about it. So, checkin is a way to gain our mindful pals' insights and ideas on such thoughts and get a chance to learn something. So it leads to team efforts to learn, share and grow together.

2. What do you enjoy about mindfulness?

Acceptance of oneself and related thoughts and actions. Maybe everyday won't be a great day but if you accepted whatever happened, you will probably find that it was for good reasons. So, even those troubles seems like okay to have in order to grow.

3. Do you have any hobbies-if you what are they?

I am an avid reader and writing is part of daily routine. Then, Cooking, gardening, playing guitar, chess are some of the activities I enjoy doing and I find them a tool of learning to improve yourself.

4. What is your favorite food to eat?

Chocolates :D Or anything less spicy.

5. Can you share a time doing mindfulness that really made an impact on you?

Walking. While walking I feel more mindful as I able to reflect and introspect my own thoughts and find them in a better form that could make some valid sense to me.

Thank you Rumple for this post!

1. Why did you want to lead mindfulness discussions?

I think a lot of people are looking for something to calm them down and keep them in the present. So, I started to lead mindfulness discussions to raise awareness for mindfulness and encourage others to do it. Mindfulness is a great tool that is provided to us.

2. What do you enjoy about mindfulness?

I enjoy how much it relieves stress. I always feel less pressured, and mindfulness "resets" my brain in a way. I start to think about things differently, approach things in different ways, and overall it helps me stay in the moment.

3. Do you have any hobbies-if you what are they?

I enjoy tennis and soccer, as well as reading, writing, going on walks (especially in the woods) and playing with pets.

4. What is your favorite food to eat?

I have a lot of favorite foods, but if I had to choose one I would say either Caesar salad or a nice juicy steak.

5. Can you share a time doing mindfulness that really made an impact on you?

When I first started mindfulness on an app that I'm sure many of you have heard of called Headspace, I realized I had found a solution. As I listened I became more and more focused on the things around me like the cars on the road or the wind in the trees rather than my mind. Everything I do has always been very fast paced, and doing mindfulness is one of the only things that calms me down and slows down my brain. It distracted me from my thoughts, and my focus turned to where I was at the moment. Ever since, mindfulness has done amazing things for me.

@RumpleSteeleSkin you asked so here you go

1. Why did you want to support others in the forums and do daily check-ins?

I find that the daily checkins are a way to share a moment by moment snapshot of what is happening in real life with mindfulness.

2. What do you enjoy about mindfulness? I enjoy that mindfulness allows each person to form a practice that is unique to their talents, abilities and preferences. It shows how we share this gift in common yet express it in unique ways.

3. Do you have any hobbies-if you what are they? I enjoy yoga, Tai Chi and exercising classes.

4. What is your favorite food to eat? Well I have favorite foods for each meal! For lunch a spicy food in a warmed up on the stove whole wheat wrap. For a light supper a pancake that is heavy on the egg yolks and light on the flour. Yogurt makes them like buttermilk pancakes

5. Can you share a time doing mindfulness that really made an impact on you? Mindfulness has had some pleasant surprises where a song or poem came out after a session. There is an up side to mindfulness we do not see every time but being open to it it may happen.
