Mindfulness Daily Check In August 1, 2018
Good morning/evening to all you in the community
It is yes a new month AUGUST. wootwoot. So today I'd like to bring in the new month with a bit of focusing on feelings. Being mindful of what 1 FEELING IS. Just one feeling, not any others mixed together. How can we really share what "happy" feels like when we really are not mindful of what it really feels like to us/ So for today here is what we are all going to do.........
1. Recognise 1 feeling
2. Write in detail what it is to you. How it feels, how does it affect you and so on
3. You can use video's, poems of the internet, pictures. Anything
4. Describe only that 1 feeling you picked
5. Have fun with it
Please feel you can share and be safe on any feeling you share here. We all are paddling in the same boat with you on dealing with easy or hard feelings we may or may not be able to describe. In this space know you just need to try or even just share a smile

(I did not write this)
Rejection
Broken promises and sad goodbyes you left me standing all alone with tears in the well of my eyes.
In the blink of an eye, you turned your back and walked away;
often I wonder if I'm the reason you didn't stay.
Everyday I dream of how perfect my life would be if you were here.
You could be my everlasting sheild and protect me from all my fears.
Or whenever I'm down you would hold me in your arms and wipe away my tears.
But deep in my heart I know it will never be;
that you would walk back into my life and never leave me.
Birthdays, Graduations, Prom:
you've missed it all.
And it hurts so much because you didn't even bother to call.
The truth is I need you here in my life.
When I get married, I want you there to give me away to become a wife.
And when I graduate I want to see that look of satisfaction on your face.
For there's nothing I want more in this world than to just be daddy's little girl.
The video I thought of is this: https://youtu.be/D1XYn-al8lE
Glad you mentioned about feelings today. I was doing EMDR yesterday and had to explain the different feelings I had with my 5 senses. My safe place looked like your picture also but with birds, people walking, dogs running, sun shining and very warm, salt taste in my mouth and we were not paying attention and a couple of waves even came up and got us wet but that was ok since it was so hot.
@DanaMH
Hi Dana good to see you todayI never done EMDR but I heard some good things about it. Describing feelings can be very hard for many. That is why we try and be mindful of just 1 of them. aahh I already love your safe place, can I join in some place
it is good you are mindful of the 5 senses and also thank you for sharing on your safe place
@RumpleSteeleSkin Hi Rumple! One feeling that I have been feeling a lot lately is sadness. Sadness makes me feel as if I am all alone in the world and that there is no one here with me. It makes me feel as if I am trying to pull myself out of a sandpit, but no matter how hard I try to fight againt it, I become even more stuck as I don't want allow myself to just sink in. It causes me to lose sleep at night but sleep all day. It causes me to fall behind in work as it all just makes me feel worse. It is just darkness to me. I don't feel this way often thankfully, but when I do, it is terrible.
@SaimaK
Hiya Saima nice to see ya hereaaww yes sadness kinda can feel like being all alone and no one is there for you. HugsI know that is a strong feeling but I know also I am there for you. Yes that sinking feeling and the stuck too goes with sadness hun. I am glad you don't feel this often as it sounds s.a.d
When I see you around I get happy and well like gitty you know. I want to thank you for opening up and sharing on how it is with that 1 feeling.
@RumpleSteeleSkin Thank you, Rumple! It means a lot, and I want you to know that I'm always here for you as well Thank you for letting me share about this 1 feeling, and thank you for your sweet response I always feel so happy and gitty when I see you around as well, so this definitely cheered me up. Thank you
@SaimaK
SaimaK, hugs, I wish I could take you out of that terrible feeling when it comes up, sadness is so hard to fight. I can't but I hope the whole universe will send you happy and healing vibes to make you feel better when needed.
@amiablePeace77 *hugs* Thank you so much, Peace You are so sweet and caring, and I appreciate you a lot. I definitely felt happy and healing vibes today. Thank you again, and I hope you are doing well and are having a great Thursday!
@SaimaK

@amiablePeace77 Hehehe, thank you, Peace! I'm glad that you are doing well! 
@RumpleSteeleSkin thanks for this
. Recognise 1 feeling I feel a tightness in my body.
2. Write in detail what it is to you. How it feels, how does it affect you and so on Legs and arms are kind of stiff
3. You can use video's, poems of the internet, pictures. Anything
4. Describe only that 1 feeling you picked I feel more relaxed now after being aware of this feeling.
5. Have fun with it
@soulsings
Hiya Souls good to see yaFeeling tightness in your body yes can make your arms and legs stiff, sometimes the body and neck too. So for you realising how your body is reacting makes you feel relaxed. That is good that you are mindful of how our body can get in our daily lives. Thank you Souls for sharing
@RumpleSteeleSkin yes and if I take in a deep breath and let it out some of that tension leaves.
@soulsings
That is good Souls. I keep learming little things from you. Keep it a coming
Even Pooh Bear does mindfulness.
@DanaMH
aaww Dana this is so cute. Even tho I am grown I still love Pooh-ssshhhh no tell nobody
@DanaMH
beautiful Dana
@RumpleSteeleSkin
