I struggle with the name 'mindfulness' I don't like the name, heehee! I suppose its all to do with before mindfulness became a therapy and it was being mindful, but also I don't think the name is right for the practice, its unfair and too long, hmm MFN maybe like CBT and DBT and NLP lol?
Happy Sunday
@MistyMagic no worry, in the east the word for mind is the same as the word for heart so we are practicing "heartfulness"[credit to Jon Kabat-Zinn in his videos about this! how does that term sit with you?
@soulsings
Heartfulness - Heart Fullness - HFN yes that sits so much better, and I loved the discussion you gave the other night on this very thing.
I am eager to hear more :) thanks!
@MistyMagic
Interesting thoughts Misty!
1. Regarding your mindfulness practice, what is something that youre struggling with? My MD's and therapist.
2. Regarding your mindfulness practice, what is something that you feel confident about? I have my tv shows.
@DanaMH
Wonderful Dana.
@EmunahHere thanks for this simple post. By Sunday that is all I can handle LOL
1. Regarding your mindfulness practice, what is something that youre struggling with?
I find that the most difficult thing to rid myself of is anger. It is one of the most basic lizard responses and I have to be onguard to see the warning signs when it is about to take over. With mindfulness I can feel my body responses when anger is about to be expressed and watch the body changes without reacting. But this only works part of the time. The other part of the time I use another mindfulness tool: "Sorry I got angry. ((hugs))
2. Regarding your mindfulness practice, what is something that you feel confident about?
Whenever I take a deep breath and let it out I feel a sense of release and just giving into this moment.
1 I honestly have been struggling a lot with judgments lately! I find myself beating myself up over a lot and saying unhelpful things about myself.
2 I am very good at "Vacationing" or imaging myself in particular places I want to visit within my mind.
@EmunahHere Regarding my mindfulness, I struggle to relax and constantly overwork myself. However, something I am confident about is my ability to remain calm, collected, and focused no matter how much I have on my plate.
@SaimaK
Good for you Saima.
@sailorelix Thank you! :)
@EmunahHere
I struggle with the no-judgement thing. I can't help but constantly have opinions on what I'm feeling and why I'm feeling it. It's something I try to get better with, especially by trying to become more patient and loving with myself.
What I feel confident in is that I have more control over myself. When I have an anxiety attack, I can calm myself down. When I get angry, I don't react as fast. When I can't sleep, I meditate for a while, which calms me down and helps a great deal. 
@JayTheBird14 It is great to hear that you have such control over your emotions and actions as it is not easy to be in control of them like you are. Being non-judgmental may be difficult here and there, but soon you will be able to overcome it. :)
1. Sticking to a regular schedule, keeping that regular structure for my days consistent
2. When I can do mindfulness on a regular basis, it does seem to make practicing easier over time, cumulatively.
@EmunahHere
1. Regarding your mindfulness practice, what is something that youre struggling with? mind wandering
2. Regarding your mindfulness practice, what is something that you feel confident about? breathing
I feel like I'm struggling with being gentle with myself and my emotions. I try to not make them a big deal and don't try to get rid of them. In regards to feeling confident about during my practice, I feel like I can notice when others tend to be reactive about things I understood not to be reactive about.
@EmunahHere
Hiya Emunahthank you for this easy check in-some times those are needed
Regarding your mindfulness practice, what is something that youre struggling with?
Something that I struggle with as a leader for mindfulness-is being creative in new ways. I have been doing this for many of moons and well sometimes I'm very bored with the old.
Regarding your mindfulness practice, what is something that you feel confident about?
I feel confident in my mindfulness practices that no matter what I still do itI still some how jump to the breathing,checking in and also getting some awesome folk to share on new creative skills
