Mindfulness Daily Check-In July 20 2017

Hiya everyoneOMG I so missed you all the last few days No joke!!! So I'm sitting here thinking " how do I bring mindfulness into being sick and having so-so many wondering negative thoughts" So I'm just gonna share my thoughts, and you all maybe can relate.

While I was out for just a few short days from 7cups, and doing all my team things and stuff, and dealing with a fever, I DID HAVE ALOT OF NEGATIVE THOUGHTS. Oh wow me to-Rumple has them too I was thinking I'm letting my team down. I was letting my members down in the forum posts I do daily. My discussions lacked my pressence, so many thoughts-lol. The more I thought about things I had to do here-the worse I felt. So, I new I had to get some mindfulness skills in place right away. So along with plenty of juice and water, and fever meds, along I had to do my dose of mindfulness.

So really- how do you stay mindful when you are sick, or something in your real life is just overwhelming that to a point you need to put 7cups aside and TRUST things will be fine when you return?

Mindfulness of body Being mindful of your body is a particularly important stage if youre unwell. Bring as much kindness as you can to your experience. If you arent too overwhelmed by pain, allow and accept it as far as you can. Stay with the feeling and do nothing else. Bring curiosity to your experience. The more nurturing and gentle you can be with your body, the better.

Mindfulness of thoughts and emotions In meditation you can welcome your thoughts and emotions rather than resisting them. You may want to use your breath to anchor yourself in the present moment every now and then. Notice the nature of your thoughts. Are they catastrophic? Allow yourself to move into your emotions rather than resist them. Notice in what part of the body they manifest and use your breath to soothe them. Trust in your own capacity to heal, to make whole.

Mindfulness of being Become aware of your own sense of identity. Let go of your awareness of your body, your mind, your emotions, your health and illness, your desires and fears. Come back to the sense of being. Rest in this state. If you find yourself getting lost in thoughts, remember that thoughts simply dance on top of your awareness. Expect thoughts to arrive rather than resisting or fighting.

Mindfulness of 7cups responsibilities Alot of us has many repsonsibilities here, but also our physical and mental state is very important. Keep contact if possible with a team leader or even Laura or Heather as to whats going on and when you will return. Trust that they know we are committed here, but they also know things do happen in life.

I am glad to be back and be here. Please if you can relate to this do share. And what kinds of mindfulness helped you while you were sick or had things in life happen.
