Mindfulness Daily Check-In January 9, 2018

Okay, so we all get stressed every day. Stress could be caused by many factors. Sometimes stress are overwhelming. And it feels like "I don't know what to do?" I feel it.

Mindfulness is the practice of being aware of what's going inside and outside and how you dealing with it. Its about NOW without any judgment filtered. So, here are some thoughts you can think when feeling stressed

I) You expected something, Happened different. It happens many times with us. But, it doesn't mean that your choices or decisions were wrong. Life is like a chess board where you get a situation and time limit to think and move, sometimes, same moves give you win and same moves sometimes may lead to defeat. It happens. It just reflect that you did your best in the prevailing conditions. Life is about learning and growing. If you are focused for better things, so stay focused to make better efforts. There is no wrong/ right decisions. Look out for better ones.

II) You did well in the past. Recall those past events where you were stressed and still you coped up well. Life is like an adventurous island where you don't know what waiting for you where and how. But, you did well and came a long way passing all those blocks, challenges and struggles. There were probably times when you felt now you can't survive. But see, you still surviving and here. So, if you could survive from those challenges, then could also pass the present stressing matters too.

III) What happened yesterday, not going to happen today. Yesterday was different day. Today is different and so tomorrow will be. Situations are temporary. I know even though they are temporary, they keep us stressed in present. But, remind that this shall too pass. This is not going to sustain for longer. Nothing lasts forever. Even seasons change and replace each other every year. Everything is in transition. Always.

IV) Sometimes, flowing with life and enjoying what comes in way is the answer. Most of us are stressed for WHEN? When things will change? When will we be better? When I'll get success? And this "When" aggravates the stress. So instead of thinking about when and getting stressed. Better to go and do something that you enjoy. It could be anything you like. And things will work out sooner or later. Efforts will be paid off.

Take your time to re-establish focus and energy.

Now, let's focus on:

1. How you feeling today?

2. What do you think what could work from above for you to deal with stress?

3. What do you do to tackle daily stress?

"Thank You"

@ASilentObserver this is a great post. For me suspending expectations helps. It is not so much about me and my world but how I can help others get a little lift in their lives. Nothing is important enough to get angry. So I find something else to focus on.

@ASilentObserver

today i feel fine, i feel my body getting energized again.

i like "what happened yesterday is the past" because that is something we cannot change anymore" - learn from it and move on.

stress - i meditate, exercise, do yoga, eat healthy food with an emphasis on food which improves the mood and feeds the brain (sesame seeds, various real nuts)

Loved to see you in checkin Mellie. Glad to know you pretty okay. Situations are never permanent. After sunrise, there will be sunset. After rain, rainbow will show.

Taking time for oneself is a nice way to tackle the stress. Appreciate your efforts. <3 Hugs

1. Today had ups and downs, but I'm ending today looking forward to tomorrow. Overall that must mean a good day. :)

2. Learning not to worry about the future. I can only take one step at a time. Also that there are no wrong decisions, and whether I fail or succeed, I will learn and keep going.

3. I do yoga and spend time taking care of myself (putting lotion on my hands when I wash my hands so much they dry up)
