Mindfulness Daily Check-In July 17, 2018
Hello everyone and happy Tuesday!
How is everyone doing today? 

I apologize for such a short check-in this week! I just started school, and so it's taking me a bit of time to adjust.
I will definitely have a better check-in next week though! 
Today, I wanted to focus on @amiablePeace77 wonderful check-ins that offer amazing methods in order to be mindful, relaxed, and calm. Peace's methods always help me feel more at ease, especially when I get more overwhelmed than I usually can handle. And so, I wanted to see what everyone's favorite mindful practice by Peace was as well as share my own! 
My particular favorite is rubbing my tummy while repeating positive reaffirmations. This helps me immensely, and I honestly cannot recommend it more! However, the hand on the heart method is a close second as well! 
Some questions for today:
What is your favorite mindful activity that amiablePeace77 has shared?
Do you have any mindful activities that help you in particular that have not been mentioned or posted before?
Is there anything that you would like to add or suggest?

Hey. Sorry I haven't been on much. I just moved and didn't have internet. I missed this very much. I hope all is well in the commuity
@SaimaK thanks for doing the checkin with your busy schedule.
Do you have any mindful activities that help you in particular that have not been mentioned or posted before? I think one way to be mindful is to look at the sensations in my body and not call it pain but just observe what kind of sensations they are.
when things get totally crazy a nap helps me immensely.
Is there anything that you would like to add or suggest? I use the Mindfulness Video Library often because it helps me find a calmer place inside.
@soulsings Hi Soul!
Thank you for being so sweet and kind as always!
I think that is a great way to be mindful as we are able to scan our body and understand our sensations without any pre-judgment. Also, naps always help big time, so I definitely agree with you on that!
The Mindfulness Video Library is a wonderful source to access such helpful mindful resources, so thank you so much for adding that! Thank you for sharing, and I hope you have a wonderful and mindful day! 

@SaimaK
Hiya Saima thank you for taking time to do this check in-sometimes short and sweet is great as well
What is your favorite mindful activity that amiablePeace77 has shared?
Well I have 2 I like to observe and not say nothing, no comments nothing. Just to look and notice. Also I like to describe at times. This helps alot with stressful days and anxiety.
Do you have any mindful activities that help you in particular that have not been mentioned or posted before?
nope
Is there anything that you would like to add or suggest?
Mindfulness is in everything we do, even sitting in the bathroom. Thing is we have to have an open mind and slow down in our daily lives to notice those beautiful things around us
@RumpleSteeleSkin Hi Rumple!
Thank you so much! You are the sweetest!
Those are both so amazing and so helpful! I am so glad that those are your favorites, and I am even more glad that they help you immensely.
Also, you are so right. Mindfulness is everywhere. We just have to remember to really pay attention to be open in realizing it as we often overlook beauty of all types by being so caught up in the rush of everything else. So wonderfully put as always, Rumple!
Thank you for sharing, and I hope you have a wonderful and mindful day! 

@SaimaK
Do you have any mindful activities that help you in particular that have not been mentioned or posted before?
Half smile - we cannot have two thoughts at the same time, so even a half smile (like when putting a pencil into the mouth - please sideways
) will override a negative though. This can be trained until it becomes routine. GUYS LETS SMILE 
Is there anything that you would like to add or suggest? Yes, you are always there for the community even if your schedule is so busy. Thank you and thanks to all the others too.
@amiablePeace77 Hi Peace!
That is absolutely brilliant and so true! I have noticed that half smiling can make a big difference and eventually lead to full-on smiles and happy thoughts and feelings!
You are so sweet, Peace, and thank you so much for saying that. You are amazing, and thank you and everyone else for always helping me learn and improve each day. So thankful for you all!
I hope you have a wonderful and mindful day!
