Mindfulness Daily Check-In December 22, 2017...
Ello My Awesome Mates,
Being Mindful in daily life is the ultimate challenge and practice. Mindfulness is about paying attention in a specific way. It could be paying attention on the purpose of the day, focusing on present moment without judging it.
Sometimes, quotes are the way to make you realize what it takes to have a mindful day. What could we do to practice mindfulness. These quotes work like hints for you to solve the puzzle.
So, share couple of quotes which make you feel mindful or so your day. How?
Tagging some amazing mates,

@ASilentObserver
Quotes that really remind me of being mindful for myself are mostly:
Be kind to yourself.
Feelings come and go like a cloud in a windy sky.
If you want to know true happiness and love, you need to be able to close your eyes without being blind.
Love these 
@ASilentObserver Flow like a river, going to the sea, it never needs to think, who and what it must be. Just flow like a river to the sea.
may you open your heart
and feel emotion and love
finding beauty within the imperfections
of life and accepting the natural cycle
growth and decay
@peppermintlove very calming. Thanks for sharing.
Maya Angelou - I know why the caged bird sings
cage - the life we lead
bird - our heart and soul
sings - all the different types of music
I came across this book in my study skills course many years ago and it has had a huge impact for me. When life becomes challenging then there will always be a song or a music to uplift again. Surely the caged bird doesn't sing the same song over and over again, some days it will fly around, singing happily, other days it may keep still, perched, singing with a heavy heart. But always continue singing no matter what the tune.
Also true - our feeling are like a coulds on a windy day, after all how would we appreciate the sun's warmth without the grey coulds on a miserable day. And how would we apprecitate the cool shade of the coulds on a hot summer's day.
For me being mindful is simply being aware of the present moment in time, for me the best way I know is simply to focus on breathing.

@knowledge57 yes Maya Angelou speaks to me too. Thanks for the reminder.
