Mindfulness Daily Check-In February 7, 2018
Gooooooooooooood morning everyone
How are we all feeling today? Did you manage to do a quick mindfulness body scan- to check in with yourself? If not that's ok- how about doing it now. Mindfulness Body Scan Video https://bit.ly/2BLI73q
*How do you feel?
*What are you thinking?
*How is your body feeling?
When you check in with yourself, how do you feel doing this? Does it help you to feel connected?
Aside from me sharing some cute pics of kittens,puppies and ferrets
today I'd like to just check in with everyone and see how mindfulness is playing a part of your life. Is there questions about mindfulness? Do you have a great idea on a mindfulness check-in or forum thread? So please share anything and everything here

Had to move my therapist appt to tomorrow to fit my MD appt in today due to being in the ER Monday. You would think they would want me to see him. Thank goodness my therapist could move his appt. because I NEED to see him!
@DanaMH sorry to hear you were in the ER. Hope you are feeling better today. Glad they could move the appointment.
@DanaMH
HI Dana good to see you in check in todayI am glad that all your appointments could be arranged to be fit in and none cancelled. I do hope that you feel better as well
@RumpleSteeleSkin
My psyc dr moved his appt today to next week after canceling 2 weeks ago. Does the man not like me/want to work with me/care about me? Maybe I don't need him?????? My therpist thinks I DON'T NEED HIM. My MD thinks I do. I just don't know any more. My GI dr took away a ton of meds and my MD just took away a ton of meds. THE ONLY THING I DO KNOW IS I NEED TO SEE MY THERAPIST AND I HAVE APPTS TOMORROW AND FRIDAY THAT GOODNESS.
@DanaMH
Oh dear Dana that sounds stressful. Did you ask why they moved the app. again? Sometimes with clarity it helps ease these emotions. And other times-you just scream. Im sorry that the app been moved around again. It seems not fair to you. I do think your therapist likes you, as far as continueing therapy that is on you and to talk with him. Can you call him and leave him a message or an email on how this is making you feel? If you can do this maybe you will feel a bit better. Medicine changes can be hectic and also make the emotions intense or low. This too have you gotten answers to why they thought you didn't need these medicines no more? My pm are open to you if you like to talk more on this. I do hope you can write down some mindfulness skills to help you in the upcoming appointments. hugz
@RumpleSteeleSkin
I have this new cool app for the new medical company that I am now with that he didn't tell me about I can email him. LOL. I have sent him 3 emails. LOL
@DanaMH
Dana I am so glad you have an outlet to voice ur concerns
Just picked up the new camping trailer so we are packing it up and finding places that we want to go to.
@DanaMH pleasant camping!
@DanaMH
Dana
Come get me too Great you are going to travel some and enjoy a good time-be safe!
@RumpleSteeleSkin interesting post. Thanks for making that thread.
I find when I tune into what is happening I get aware of my body. I feel the cool air on my hands, I feel I am a bit hunched over so I sit up, I pay attention to how I am feeling, I recognize if my body needs food or attention. So the things I have forgotten about temporarily become more apparent.
@soulsings
Hiya there Souls great to see you in check-in todayIt sounds that you are in tune with your body and some things some times we do forget on. I recently done this today after a rough shift I got sent home from. Got my tires put on-and did a check in. Thing is I noticed the sun was out-yes, but then I noticed how warm it felt on my nech and back and how it made me feel. So this to I want to improve on. Thank you for sharing this-its encouraging
I'm really anxious about my doctor's visit on Monday. I've been having trouble with my stomach for over a year now, but I constantly put of going to the doctor because I hate doctors. Now they sent me to a hospital for a more thorough examination. I don't really like the sound of it all and it makes it hard for me to relax 
@RumpleSteeleSkin
Checking in with myself:
Exhausted from a horrible nights sleep, illness in the family and an extra dose of stress and drama at work. I can't fix the last one without losing my job or going to jail -- so I'm trying to detach from it. 
I'm wondering/doubting myself for taking on a project (outside of work) as the right thing to do right now... this client seems really needy and seems panicy about their situation they've asked me to come in and fix. (More stress on top of stress -- I hoping it's temporary, I'm in fireline mode to get them and their needs under control - so I'll have to see.) But doubt of any kind can be such a nasty weed in the mind as it's self-seeding and proliferates so fast into other thoughts choking out the positivity that may be there -- usually leading to inaction and second-guessing which is energy consuming and wrench in everything.
I'm running out of coping, it feels like -- I'm not sure what to tackle in what order to alleviate some of the stress.
I don't like written list -- it's not the best tool for me. They have a tendency to end up in the garbage or tiny pieces because of my nature and the way I prioritize and re-prioritize as I assess situations and progress.
::sigh:: Sorry to be so off ... running in the wild... but checking in with the self doesn't often lend itself to moments of clarity straight off.
