Mindfulness Daily Check-In November 2, 2017
Hello Mindfullness community!
I hope you're having a nice Thursday

This exercise is called Mindful Immersion-
The intention of this exercise is to cultivate contentment in the moment and escape the persistent striving we find ourselves caught up in on a daily basis.
Rather than anxiously wanting to finish an everyday routine task in order to get on with doing something else, take that regular routine and fully experience it like never before.
For example: if you are cleaning your house, pay attention to every detail of the activity.
Rather than treat this as a regular chore, create an entirely new experience by noticing every aspect of your actions:
Feel and become the motion when sweeping the floor, sense the muscles you use when scrubbing the dishes, develop a more efficient way of wiping the windows clean.
The idea is to get creative and discover new experiences within a familiar routine task.
Instead of labouring through and constantly thinking about finishing the task, become aware of every step and fully immerse yourself in the progress. Take the activity beyond a routine by aligning yourself with it physically, mentally and spiritually.
Who knows, you might even enjoy the cleaning for once!

Have been working on my meditation using Body Scan technique - so much more aware of how my body assists me in my daily life and taking care of myself including - bath, home pedi, healthy food and making time to BE instead of constantly doing and thinking
@compassion4you14 I find this great when I am sitting. I relax my back a little and tighten my belly a little and find the place where hips are comfortable sitting. Then I am aware of how the neck and shoulders are. so by being mindful I can find a comfortable sitting pose and maintain it.
