Mindfulness Daily Check-In Monday, July 23

Hello everyone! Welcome to the Mindfulness Check-in. I hope you're doing well.

Today we are going to chat about Taking Hold of Your Mind: How Skills. Non-judgmentally, One-Mindfully and Effectively.

Non-judgmentally

- See, but dont evaluate as good or bad. Just the facts.
- Accept each moment like a blanket spread out on the lawn, accepting both the rain and the sun and each leaf that falls upon it.
- Acknowledge the difference between the helpful and the harmful, the safe and the dangerous, but dont judge them.
- Acknowledge your values, your wishes, your emotional reactions, but dont judge them.
- When you find yourself judging, dont judge your judging.

One-Mindfully

- Bring yourself to now. Be completely present to this one moment.
- Do one thing at a time. Notice the desire to be half-present, to be somewhere else, to go somewhere else in your mind, to do something else, to multitask—and then come back to one thing at a time.
- When you are eating, eat.
- When you are walking, walk.
- When you are worrying, worry.
- When you are planning, plan.
- When you are remembering, remember.
- Let go of distractions. If other actions, or other thoughts, or strong feelings distract you, go back to what you are doing—again, and again, and again.
- Concentrate your mind. If you find you are doing two things at once, stop—go back to one thing at a time (the opposite of multitasking!).

Effectively

- Be mindful of your goals in the situation and do what is necessary to achieve them.
- Focus on what works. (Dont let emotion mind get in the way of being effective.)
- Act as skillfully as you can. Do what is needed for the situation you are in—not the situation you wish you were in; not the one that is fair; not the one that is more comfortable.
- Let go of willfulness and sitting on your hands.
