Mindfulness Daily Check-In April 1, 2018
Hello, Mindfulness Community! 
Happy Easter to those who celebrate, and Happy Sunday to all! Also, it's the beginning of a new month, so Happy April! Lets take a couple of minutes to slow down and recommit ourselves to our mindfulness practices by practicing mindfulness through observation.
First, find a comfortable position. Youre probably at a computer or holding a phone or tablet, so get comfy and take a few deep breaths with eyes opened or shut. Next, take a couple of minutes to simply observe your surroundings without adding any mental commentary to them. After you have finished observing your environment, come back to this post!
Now, if you feel comfortable, share with us one thing that you 1.) see 2.) feel 3.) hear 4.) smell 5.) taste at this very moment!

@EmunahHere Hey Emu <3 Thanks for the checkup
1) I see my desktop, which contains several layers of books, notes, junk and items that don't belong there.
2) I feel curious and excited about it, cause it reminds me of an archeological site and I wonder what it's in the depth of it lol
3) I hear the birds chirping and my keyboards keys being hitten.
4) I smell a fresh humid clean air coupled with the smell of my drink.
5) I still taste my last sip on my tongue and it's kinda fruity and chemical-ish.
