HIya Mindfulness Community-it's me RumplecheekyWell today I want to play with all my friends here.

We all know how our brains can go all over the place-right? Wow some times I am wiped out by my brain. It's like it never stops-lol We also know how helpful mindfulness skills can help us and our wondering minds. So today I thought we play Simon Says Mindfulnesssmileyyes

8. How is the weather by you today?

9. Simon says think of a happy moment. How does that make you feel?

10. Take a deep breath in-hold it now exhale

YAY to all of you for playing this gameheart So how was this for you?

Did you all "run your hands over your hair and notice how that felt? Simon didn't say to-heehee

Aaawww what about that cute baby kitty? Did your thoughts wonder then oh how soft and cute it was?

Did anyone think of how they were feeling today?

Playing this game gets our mind to focus on only the steps we were to do. To teach our brain to focus while having some fun. I know for me I was doing 2 other things and also on the phonesurprisehahaha. Thing is to have fun while dong mindfulness. Please share your thoughts here with all of usheart

I loved this, it was so much fun! And just as I made the funny face and laughed at myself, my mom came in, asking me what I was laughing about. And I don't know, but I liked that I could just answer that I was laughing at myself. Nothing wrong with that, it's actually a good thing to laugh things off every now and then.

Thanks for this, I really enjoyed myself! heart

HIya Emily it was fun playing with you and the others. No need to feel "stupid" as this is 1 way to get mindfulness going in ones life. Mindfulness isn't only on breathing and eyes closed. Everything in life mindfulness is in including fun times toosmileyheart

That feeling of making an impact on some is pretty good 😎

@RumpleSteeleSkin

Thank you for sharing this activity! 

It was fun while also highlighting the importance of mindfulness. 

I found myself wanting to react quickly, but the exercise encouraged me to pause, pay attention, and stay in the moment. 

That's something I can always practice more.
