Mindfulness Check-in Sept 29
Hello awesome people
How are you doing? I hope all is good.
You know I often get asked, "Can we be mindful all the time?"
"Can we be compassionate all the time?"
And I think, "We cannot."
Yes, we cannot. In fact, I think nobody can. Because we are surrounded by so many things that you can miss paying attention. And, that is okay.
You cannot be positive all the time. A life filled with ups and downs. Positive and negative events. And what all you can do- acknowledge it and just live with it.
Sometimes it is okay to be mindfull. Because if you are not mindfull, you won't think and practice to be mindful.
You need to recognize what matters to you. Know your intentions.
And, you cannot be mindful all the time. But yes, you can try to stay mindful most of the time. And when you are not, experience another side too.
Because it gives you the reason to want to become mindful.
So, when was the last time you felt MINDFULL?
Share your thoughts with us and let's remind that sometimes it is okay to be mindfull. Do not be hard to yourself. You are not alone.

Last time I felt mindful was walking down the street on my way to a meetup, I just realized I was "here" (there) and could choose anything. It feels like choices are too hard and I keep thoughtlessly tossing them away.
I just completed a meditation and it's been a while. OMG has my mood completely changed. I'm still having some anxiety but nowhere near what I was experiencing when I first woke up.
This is a reminder to me that when I'm feeling down, I need to sit for a moment and think about what I can do to make me feel better. Doing the same thing 24/7 is not only boring but it probably won't get me anywhere new
Hello
I am doing all right and hope the same for everyone
@ASilentObserver
Observer, happy Sunday
.
I try to be more mindful with myself when realizing I was not mindful - it happens.
I was kind of mindful most of the time this morning, starting with waking up, body scan, sitting on bed quietly for a while and enjoying all the free space in my head.
i am finding that NOW can be a whole lifetime.... it is not limited to a minute, a moment or a second.
@ASilentObserver Why can we be positive all the time? 
i am being reminded that my brain can handle one trauma, OK; two shocks in one day upset things; and three or more, it's time to run and hide from people, lest i 'Act Out' and become irratating as well as irratated.
