Im doing ok. One of my favorite actresses is getting engaged which im happy for but then i internalize it and wonder if i will forever alone lol
other than that im completed level one of this hiking club and promoted to level two which is a huge accomplishment for me considering exercise usually is not my friend
@Chocolateandcakes
Hi choc, sounds you are really into hiking 
. Congrats to level 2.
We never know what the future will bring, maybe someone is already waiting for you to be discovered, nobody knows but you know you have yourself and that seems a great person to be with.
@Chocolateandcakes Hi Chocolate! You won't be forever alone. Don't think that way. You'll find someone. Also, I am so happy for you!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! That is such a great accomplishment, and I hope you keep progressing and advancing!!! 
Thank you so much for sharing, and I hope you have a wonderful and mindful day!
I took the opportunity to stop and breathe when I started to feel overwhelmed. I was able to clear my head a bit and stay focused on each task I had to complete throughout the day. I can't think of anything to add at this moment. What I have been doing seems to be working well enough for now. Taking a deep breath, while simple, has become a great coping tool.
@essdee
We have the same coping tool . Creating space can make us go a long way.
@essdee Hi Essdee! I am sorry to hear that you have been feeling overwhelmed, but I am glad that you are focusing on stopping and breathing every time in order to feel a bit better. Taking a deep breath indeed is a great mechanism to just center yourself again. Thank you so much for sharing with us all, and I hope you have a wonderful and mindful day!
@SaimaK
HIya Saima tank you for this check inI do hope everything is ok hun. Also if you need some help do let me know. hugs
How are you feeling today?
I'm feeling energized today. lol I been up since 4:10am it's now 5:30am. So as long as I have my coffee things will be ok
What did you do to be mindful today?
I mindfully measired out my coffee and watched it brew into my cup, also I mindfully smelled it
How did you feel afterwards?
OMG- I felt like this:
Is there anything that you would like to add or suggest?
Yes I'd like to share that no matter what situation or issues or moods, we all can slow down and stop and breathe. To find 1% good in whatever is going on
@RumpleSteeleSkin
and by that never ignoring the positive (1 %)
@RumpleSteeleSkin Hi Rumple! I am doing my best, but I certainly will let you know if I need help. Thank you so much always! *hugs* Oh dear, you've been up for a while! I hope you get plenty of rest and sleep tonight! Mindfully measuring, watching, and smelling your coffee sounds so pleasant though. I'm also happy it helped you feel super energized, hehehe. And that is a wonderful saying to add, Rumple. You are absolutely right, and I am certainly trying to find that 1% during these times. Thank you so much for sharing with us all, and I hope you have a wonderful and mindful day!
@SaimaK no worry I like simple checkins!
How are you feeling today? I am feeling grounded.
What did you do to be mindful today? I did stretching and Tai Chi.
How did you feel afterwards? Like I was living less in my head and more in my body.
Is there anything that you would like to add or suggest? Focusing on movement can be a good way to practice mindfulness.
@soulsings
lol Souls ok here is a simple check in for ya
8/21/18
"hi-be mindful"
lmao
@RumpleSteeleSkin Hehehe, Rumple. You are hilarious!
@soulsings Hi Soul! Thank you so much! You are so sweet! I am glad you feel grounded and were able to stretch as well as do Tai Chi today. I am so glad that you were living more in your body as a result, and movement indeed is a wonderful way to practice mindfulness! Thank you so much for sharing with us all, and I hope you have a wonderful and mindful day!
@SaimaK you are welcome.
@soulsings
@SaimaK
How are you feeling today?
Exhausted and like crying -- this week, I don't wike it 
What did you do to be mindful today?
Nothing yet ... maybe something after work -- idk -- I might just go to bed early
Nope, no verbose ramblings to offer - I don't have anything left to give.
@diplomaticconfucious
Sorry to hear that you are so exhausted, I hope you will have a long good sleep and feel much better tomorrow. HUGS
@amiablePeace77
Thanks...I appreciate the support.
@diplomaticconfucious Hi Diplomatic! I'm sorry that you are feeling so exhausted and sad. *hugs* I hope you feel better, happier, and get plenty of rest and sleep tonight.
@SaimaK
Thanks
@diplomaticconfucious
@SaimaK
SaimaK, life can be so challenging at times, sorry to hear that you have to go through such difficult days. You are such a positive inspiration all the time and your posts are just great, they are informative, easy to read and understand and fun too! YOU ARE AWESOME!
How are you feeling today? I feel very good but are a little tired because of some work I had to do this morning
What did you do to be mindful today? I skipped cardio to save energy, will do tomorrow again, but did a longer meditation.
How did you feel afterwards? More energized and relaxed
Is there anything that you would like to add or suggest - I find it helpful to become aware that we might not be able to do things as planned, so being fine with not doing in between in okay.
@amiablePeace77 Hi Peace! Thank you so much! You are the absolute sweetest, and you are AWESOME!!! Thank you for helping me feel better and helping out with response! I appreciate it so much I hope you get plenty of rest and sleep tonight, and I am glad that you did a long meditation. It's great that you felt so energized and relaxed afterwards! And thank you for sharing that. You are absolutely right, and I am working on accepting that at the moment. Thank you so much for sharing with us all, and I hope you have a wonderful and mindful day!
Hi Mindfulness community! I am a new listener and I am excited to be here. I just finished my first chat and it was rewarding.
@kindstar Welcome Kindstar!!! We are happy that you have joined, and so glad that your first chat went incredibly well!
Hello
I feel ok
I listened to some relaxation tapes,
As I refilled my pool just standing there listening👂 to the flow of the water and watching👀 all the bubbles as they danced 💃around the water. The clear and sparkly sunrays☀️ that gave such an awesome glistening as the water shimmered and rolled around the center. Beautiful blue water. It was so peaceful,sounded like being under a waterfall, relaxing.
