Mindfulness Daily Check-In March 25, 2018
Sometimes we just get to a point where we are caught in a trap of routine and habit. When this happens we can feel stuck. Sometimew we just need a new environment or something to break the routine. When every day stops feeling good it is time to innovate and change.
I was feeling overwhelmed with responsibilities so I decided I needed to do something different. I spent more time with my mom and we had lunch and worked on jigsaw puzzles. I felt those overwhelming responsibilities start to fall off my shoulders. Knowing what is happening inside and seeing the warning signs when something has to change is part of practicing mindfulness.
What are the warning signs for you?
How can you "get away" either physically or symbollically from the things that are stressing you out?

What are the warning signs for you?
Feeling burned out
How can you "get away" either physically or symbollically from the things that are stressing you out?
take space, take breathes, take breaks, prioritize responsibilities drop the ones that aren't as important
@EvelyneRose yes those are warning signs for me. I had to get away for 3 days and I did those things you suggested. It works!
When I feel stressed or overwhelmed I get in my car with my dog and take a long ride. I find something to engage my mind in that distracts my attention off of the thing that is the stressor.
@scarletPear1945 that is always something that helps me especially if I am near nature.
@soulsings
Great reminder, Soul! It's so important to be aware of how we are feeling and know when we need to take action to feel better.
What are the warning signs for you? Increased irritability for no seemingly apparent reason (deep down, there is a reason; I need fresh air and space!)
How can you "get away" either physically or symbollically from the things that are stressing you out? Guided meditations are a go-to for me, when I need a mental break away from the external world. I close my eyes and listen. Going for walks by myself when I'm feeling too much from everything also.
@EmunahHere yes we all need reminders.
I like guided meditations and also a walk in warm weather is nice.
If your mind full with fear, sad, worry, dissapointed and other negative thing, there would be no space left for postive thing. Free your mind from those negative and let the positive in. My self reminder today.
Been struggling to stay positive in a hard situation I face now. To inhale-exhale to free mind from negative thought so I could think my next move.
@happylove2611 thanks for the reminder! Hope you find the freeing of your mind you look for.
Reminder Tuesday at 3PM EDT EmunahHere hosts a mindfulness session.
@soulsings Thanks for the reminder. I will try to stay awake around that time. Due to time different, tuesday 3pm mean my 2am Wednesday :D
@soulsings
HI Souls thanks for this good check in-hits home for me
For me my warning signs are when I am quiet. I participate in all I need to do- thing is Im distance and quiet. Things no longer have a meaning for me. It does come- but well I deal!! I do not mind routines they are good to get us going on somethings, but routines get boring to, gotta get out there sometimes and just "do it" be wild and silly
@RumpleSteeleSkin you are welcome. We all have our triggers but we can know them so we do not get blindsided. Keep up the great work you do on mindfulness.
