Mindfulness Check-In Oct 5

Hello All!

When you feel overwhelmed, anxious, stressed, burned out, it reflects you experiencing a lot. To deal with it, you need to slow down and give yourself a present of breath and relaxation.

Sometimes all we need is to keep things simple and here is how you could do-

1. A quick check-in with your emotions- Being busy in your daily life, you often miss to realize how you are feeling. When you ignore your emotions, you lead yourself to excessive stress and burn out. That is why it is important to check your emotions and thoughts regularly. Identify how are you feeling and label your emotions. When you label them, you will understand what will it take to manage it.

2. Organize and improve your environment - Believe it or not, when you are stressed, annoyed, overwhelmed, angry or feeling messed up, try to organize and improve your surrounding and it will make you feel calm and relaxed. You could organize your desk or wardrobe. Add a plant to your desk or cleaning your bookshelves is soothing.

3. Take a break from everything - Every day you are dealing with a large chunk of information. Every minute of your day, mind filled with giving and taking a variety of information in the form of opinions, thoughts, views, facts, evidence, etc.

Take a break! Set a part of the day when you are not dealing with information and use it to focus on yourself.

4. Go to sleep! - When you feel you are going through a lot, you feel like you need a big change to improve your life. But you could start the journey of change with a simple step - Close your eyes and sleep!

Heya Obs. Thanks for the post. I do take a break from everything as well as sleep. For me taking a break is good as it allows me to breathe and keep my mental health in check.

HI Obs thank you very much for this check in. I love doing 4 and 5. As it's always good to step away from everything so you can check in with yourself and see whats overwhelming you. Also sleep is always nice. At times te body needs a big breakheart

@ASilentObserver Hi Obs! Thank you for this reminder to check in with myself. I was able to realize I didn't do my mindfulness today and was feeling a little anxious surprise so I just did it and feel better. laugh

@ASilentObserver AMAZING advice! Thank you so much! The part that struck me the most was about organizing your environment when you are stressed or upset! That's what I do when I'm freaking out because I find that when my house is clean, my mind isn't so crazy and all over the place!

@ASilentObserver Amazing post... thank you! So when I am stressed out or feel like I am just about to lose my mind I start to take inventory of my emotions! And that's funny that you mentioned it in this post! I find that when I realize what I am really feeling and acknowledge it, my mind starts to clear up and what I'm stressing over is, in fact, not worth it at all!
