Mindfulness Daily Check-In October 19, 2017

HI everyone I do hope that everyone is having a good day. I wanted to share something with all of you I bumped into on an article I was reading last night. CHANGE. Change we all know can be great improvment but also it can be very scary. I know personally it affects me at times. So I do hope this little read can help someone reading this.

C — Choose to stay open

As we make the conscious choice to stay open, raw, and vulnerable, we can be brave, tender, and present to the technicolor experiences that reveal lifes texture and richness.

H — Have awareness of what is unfolding, moment by moment

The key to mindfulness is training ourselves to notice the details: Which thoughts are here? Which emotions? Which body sensations? As we stop trying to resist whats coming our way, we can become scientists of our own experience full of wonder at each new discovery.

A — Adapt: Its crucial to personal and species survival

Considering that adaptation is at the heart of survival, its surprising how afraid we are to let things evolve. If we learn to adapt, allowing new information (and challenges) to expand our perspective rather than retreating into ourselves, our unique brilliance can move along with lifes flow.

N — Notice how it feels to stay close to your experience

At the end of the day, most of us just want to feel better. When we allow ourselves to be gently present, we may notice an increase in energy, joy, and resilence as we dare to explore the vividness of life.

G — Generate wisdom by remaining curious about the ever-changing adventure

As we investigate our assumptions, judgments, and other narrow ways of thinking, we open opportunities to develop insights that expand and re-charge our views.

E — Enjoy lifes fresh offerings

Its important to be open to change, but that doesnt mean we should be constantly striving for change or forcing it on ourselves. Riding the waves of change means being here for what arises naturally—not moving at breakneck speed toward the next thing and the next thing. Life can so easily slip past us unnoticed. Remember to pause, take a breath, and appreciate the electric circus called life.
