Mindfulness Daily Check-In July 15 2017
Good morning everyone
What a wonderful Saturday morning it is now. I got the windows opened, enjoying the light cool breeze of the early morning. Not feeling so stressed and active as I have to be during the work week. Today I'd like to check in with everyone on the week you all had and then to enjoy Satuday
So lets not think of how busy or hectic our week was. Think of right now weather it be day or night for you. Sit for a few minutes and try and vision yourself in the picture. Let your senses highten and be aware of the sourroundings. Try and let your brain trick your body- and become part of the picture.......
*How does the early sun look and feel on your skin?
* How does the light warm wind feel?
*How does the sand feel on your toes?
*How does the gentle water feel on your feet?
*Can you feel the wind lightly blow in your hair?
Wow I know right now I am so part of this picture and I feel so relaxed but energenic inside. Yes I do have some wondering thoughts from my week as well as things I need to do today. But I let my thoughts float by like the gentle wind on my skin. I bring myself back to this picture and for a few minutes I am allowing my body to relax and be aware of just right now.
I do hope you all have a wonderful weekend. And please give yourself a break, do something nice for you today and let the house chores wait just a little bit longer. Take care everyone

the sun feels hot
the light warm wind takes me on a ride
the earth (not sand) between my toes feels like home
the water cools me down and glides off my skin
the wind blows through my hair telling me "you can do it"

Hi Peace nice to see you WOW I so loved what you shared from the picture especially the wind telling you- you can do it!!!!
@amiablePeace77 - yessss
@RumpleSteeleSkin, thank you, a lovely post once again! I must admit, I was attracted to the rather peaceful looking picture immediately. I am not sure how much time passed before I had the external thought pop into my head, reminding me that I was supposed to be reading the post! At first, I allowed this thought to pass and refocused my attention, tranquilly enjoying, and feeling apart of the surroundings shown in the picture. Eventually, when reading your lovely words, I was reassured that the time was indeed well spent. Therefore, I followed your instructions and allowed myself some additional time, this time, being particularly attentive towards my senses. Physically and mentally, I feel much more relaxed, with a sense of ease and acceptance floating around me. Thank you!

Hiya Char lovely to see you in check-in today I so know what you mean. I was picking out picture amd came on this posted it and was just sitting there IN THE PICTURE. Im glad this imigary mindfulness got you to relax and be in the moment. I do hope today is a good one for you
I appreciated this post greatly. I have never tried to trick my brain like this, but I enjoyed it. I might try to find some pictures to do this with as a relaxatoin technique. Great idea @RumpleSteelSkin. And I think the feeling I recognized the most was a warmth of happiness with letting the sun shine on myself and envolop me in its brightness.
