Mindfulness Daily Check-In Nov. 22, 2019
Hi everyone in the Mindfulness Community, how are you today? 
Today I like to share with you a brief exercise.
5 Min. Massage
Before starting the massage sit down for a minute and take some deep breaths in and slowly out. Notice how your body feels, how fast the train of thoughts runs in your mind.
Now
Massage every finger on your hands gently for 30 seconds,
gently massage the palm of your hands each for 30 seconds as well.
How did it feel giving yourself 5 minutes self-care, what were your thoughts, did anything change compared to when you started?

@amiablePeace77
Thank you for this great check-in as I really need this personally. For the last few days I have been down and distracted. My client is in active dying stage. So it all happened fast. So being mindful of not letting my feelings show on my sleeves I've been trying to do.
So............as I rubbed my inner palm my thoughts yes were all over the place. So I had to "sit on em" and come back to how it felt. To me I didn't notice nothing much or a aawwww. But some how in the 5 minutes I did rub my feet and there was an awwww. Does that still count lol
Again Ami thank you for these very thoughtful check-ins.
@RumpleSteeleSkin
I can only imagine how hard this must be on you, feeling the pain of another human being leaving this world and still showing strength to support them - it takes a very strong person to do that. You are amazing.
Sure that counts Rumple - every good thing that makes us feel better counts.
@amiablePeace77 he is still with us today. But almost done with his jurney
@RumpleSteeleSkin
It is a tough journey him and for you but having you at his side made it easier for him. I believe he would like you to take special care of yourself now.
@amiablePeace77
that felt amazing. So much so I almost dozed off 😂
@LPyMP
Nice to hear, maybe something you could do before bedtime?
@amiablePeace77
definitely will try
@LPyMP
👍
@amiablePeace77
It felt really great and it made me feel less tensed up. I don't know if I massaged my fingers right tho because I've never done that before lol
@LexIris
Glad to hear it helped. There are many ways we can help ourselves with self-massage. Here is a link which might be helpful

I almost dozed off hahaha. Thanks for the wonderful check-in!
@AddictedTealover98
hahahahahahaha
@AddictedTealover98
Nice
@amiablePeace77 self massage is very healing. I find it to be relaxing and energizing areas that need energy.
@soulsings
I agree soul, it's amazing much self-massage can change our mood and our pains and build up self-love too.
@amiablePeace77 My thoughts were kinda all over the place, but it felt nice.
@fearlessWriter78
It can feel strange when doing it the first time, not to focus on any work but just sit there and care for your hand. glad though you enjoyed it, hope it will not be your last time you did the massage 
I felt much more relaxed after massaging my fingers and palm. This was helpful. I tried to focus my thoughts on how I felt in that moment.
@exuberantMaple397
Nice Maple, just 5 min. self-care can make us feel different.
@amiablePeace77
Interesting. It gave me indigestion, reflux.
@indigoCup1959
I am so so sorry to hear that. Hope you are okay now?
@Supportivetime74
I have been Mindfullnes Exerciseses Everynight before I go to bed. It really helps me to fall asleep and to relax. It also help me to clear my head. I find very useful. I found an app called Headspace and downloaded onto my phone and I listen to different meditation apps before I go to bed. and it really helps me to realax.
@supportiveTime74
That is a great way to calm down and help with good sleep and more. I too find Headspace being a good app.
@amiablePeace77
Yes, Headspace is a wonderful app. Also Stop breathe and think is too.
@supportiveTime74
Thanks for sharing that information
