Mindfulness Daily Check-In January 22, 2018
Mondays can be challenging for me. I have to do at least an hour or two of exercise to get the cobwebs off. For me exercise gives a focus so I can be aware of this moment and what my body is doing. I find Zumba, chair exercises, yoga, Qi Gong, Aerobics, Tai Chi, are all a help for me to focus on my body which means I am not struggling with my mind and emotions. To me this is a big help. Plus after the exercises I feel more energy.
So what do you like to do to A) Get into a mindful mode on Monday and B) Get enough energy going to get through your day?
I usually exercise two times a week. I really like yoga because it helps me focus on my body and learn to care how it feels and moves. I'm proud of myself when I can stretch farther and work harder than before. Yoga also gives me a place to practice controlled, deep breathing, which helps when I'm anxious.
@BlueMossWeaver27 I love yoga too. It has taught me to be flexible but has also taught me to not try to push myself too far. Don't force the body or life! I appreciate your sharing this.
