Mindfulness Daily Check-In August 16, 2019
Good morning wonderful mindfulness people, how is everyone doing today? 
Questions can give deep insight views. A powerful question can change the way you see things especially if you are asking it to yourself, like the question what is important to me.
Some people might answer their health is important but keep eating junk food. Doing the inner or physical work can be hard but it leads us where we want to go.
So today I like to ask you what is most important to your life and how must you act to prove that, how do you show it in your action?

So today I like to ask you what is most important to your life and how must you act to prove that, how do you show it in your action?
hmm I am the one who eats junk food but follows a diet
BUT that does not mean all is lost. Whats important to me is not letting people walk all over me....and I just be quiet and walk away. I'm always told to be kind and chin down. ok........
But if I was being mindful to myself I'd not always walk away. Somethings I do walk away from as it's just not worth it. I am going to make sure people know my work boundaries in a kind way. No more walking away but try and focus on the issue and offer ways that can possibly be the conclusion to working out!
@RumpleSteeleSkin
Pick your battles, see if they are worth it, do not let others walk over you, speak up for yourself, set boundaries - great thoughts and great reminders. Thanks for sharing.
I tried to do an exercise like this a number of months ago and found it difficult to define - what is the upmost thing?
My best answer is that finding meaning in life is most important to me, and that is generally accomplished through some form of connection or communion with 'what exists'. It can be shared laughter between friends, or shared tears, tracing the patterns over the bark of a tree, falling in love, being carried by ocean waves, cuddling with a pet... all those moments which entice me to believe that I could belong here.
How do I live that? Not very well, as of yet. Sometimes I do that negatively by seeking out intense experiences, or reliving past ones over and over in my mind, holding onto memories as if they had a life of their own. Sometimes I live it well by appreciating what I have and reaching out to form those connections with other people. Sometimes I live it by spending time in nature, spending time in my own body and it's movements, or exploring and seeking to understand the systems that govern matter. I live it through creating art and by writing.
At least, at my best. Ha!
@calypteanna
These are nice ways to connect world outside so that you can feel alive and have a sense of belonging.
Negative memories are not worthwhile to relive, hope that with time you will be able to let go of them, like letting go of a balloon which drifts away with the wind and never comes back.
what is most important to your life?
feeling at peace, doing good in the world
how must you act to prove that?
consistent with my values, make choices that bring me peace and lead to positive actions
how do you show it in your actions?
While dating I move on quickly from men that don't/can't/won't meet my needs. It's hard because I don't know and I'm curious to see how things may play out and what life brings me, but I am rejecting many people very often. It's difficult now but will benefit me in the long run. It's hard to stay consistent and true to my values, knowing I have to reject people that aren't a match or a good fit for me. There are many nice/wonderful/kind people that I'm meeting but we're just not right for each other. Or, I would be great for them but they wouldn't be great for me. I'm sticking to my values and saying "no" in order to have that peaceful feeling, even if it means loneliness and starting the whole process over again and a little frustration in the short run. I notice when I have an inner struggle and when I want to let the person go from my life but haven't yet. It feels like an inner battle. I recognize and notice it, and know I have to tell the person good bye. Again. I'm looking forward to finally finding the person that I don't have to say goodbye to.
@onwardforevenmore
This is authentic, you stick to your own values and want to wait until the right person crosses your way and that's the person you can finally let into your heart. I hope this person will enter your life soon.

My most important thing in my life is to be Me. To be accepted faults and all for who I am. I know nobody is perfect. But I try my best to just be me. I am very quiet in my day and keep a lot to myself because I have always been judged.
@pamharley003
Pam, true and honest people will prefer authentic people, they know that perfection is just an illusion - they will accept you for what you are. I hope you will meet more of this kind of people and less of the ones who only want to put you down.
My mental health is important to me, I keep up by going on 7cups and being gentle with myself! My art is important to me, I keep up by practicing my craft. My finances are important to me, I keep up by doing a budget. My relationships are important to me, I keep up by learning better social-emotional and interpersonal communication skills. My health is important to me, I keep up by cooking good foods and trying my best to exercise and go outdoors. My appearance is important to me, I keep up by grooming myself. learning is important to me, I keep up by stimulating my brain.
