Mindfulness Check-in Dec 22
Season greetings to everyone! 
How are you doing?
Today I want us to focus on our emotions. The feelings we are experiencing and discuss it.
Sometimes it becomes difficult to focus on present emotions and feelings we experience. Probably because they are uncomfortable or too intense. The feelings and emotions seem pleasant to us are easier to focus and be present in the moment. It makes us feel good.
But, uncomfortable emotions? Nah!
So what could we do? Just experience it.
Mindfulness practice means understanding that they are emotions and feelings. They likely to be the way they are. Even if intense or uncomfortable. It is okay.
Our emotions and feelings do not define us. They are based on the circumstances we experience. They are like guests. We welcome and observe them. Even if we do not like them.
They will come and go. They are not permanent. They are simply here in this moment.
So, let us do some mindfulness and ask ourselves, "How am I feeling right now?" And, feel free to share with us. We are here to give you extra support.
Love you all!!

Season's Greeting, Obs. Thank you for this thought provoking exercise in mindfulness. Feelings and emotions are indeed just visitors invoking various responses within us. There is no alternative ot experiencing them. Being mindful of their qualities can enhance the pleasantness or help diminish the unpleasantness.
Hi Obs, today I feel strong and calm. I have finished all my stuff at home so it's time to enjoy myself what includes being here as well

Our emotions and feelings do not define us. They are based on the circumstances we experience. They are like guests. We welcome and observe them. Even if we do not like them.
So true . 
Picture taken from an bbc earth youtube documentary, where a man was so close to the polar bear. When you are so close to an animal like that and the only thing that polar bear wants, is to eat you, most people will feel fear in that situation. But that does not mean that person is a coward or is afraid all day in his/her everyday life. Is just ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶s̶i̶t̶u̶a̶t̶i̶o̶n̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶t̶r̶i̶g̶g̶e̶r̶s̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶e̶m̶o̶t̶i̶o̶n̶s̶ is just how we respond to the situation, this is what triggers our emotions.
This is was i believe, of course I am no scientist .

Indeed, Obs. A salient reminder, a great post and a lovely picture :)
