Mindfulness Daily Check-In October 9, 2017
Hello everyone
bbrrrr is it cold and snowy here this morning.! So naturally I wanted to stay in my bed or take my warm blanket every where I went. First thought was I wasn't going to work today. My moods were a bit "slushie"
I noticed I wasn't being mindful at all. I let my mood and body and thoughts follow to what the environment was around me. "Get it together Rumple dear"
Who has done this? Who has reacted to the evironment around them? Or reacted to something someone said or done to you? Here are some more examples- and I do see your heads nodding yes a few times
*** They ignored me on 7cups so I ended up feeling low about myself and going to bed***
*** my boss got on me cause I didn't do something right so I quit***
*** I can't get all my school work done, so I'll think those teachers are all bad to me***
Are you all still with me?? Don't feel bad or feel you are a bad person or anything. Matter of fact give yourselves all a hug, this is so normal. But luckly for us we know what mindfulness is and try and not react to certain things in life. Not to judge them. Not to get intense and make silly choices due to how we are feeling. But to accept whatever situation it is (even if it's cold snow) and do your best to handle it.
Now I'd like to hear your thoughts on this

Rumple, this is a very lovely post, it reminds me that being kind to myself is very important. mindfulness helps to put space between me and negative emotions approaching me and also to see things differently, with more acceptance.

HI Peace good to see you in check-in Trying to be kind to ourselves can be like a chore or something we are not familiar with doing. When you practice mindfulness we are aware of what our bodies need as well as in our moods or what we need more of. Im glad that mindfulness has helped you with the negative emotions, amd also taught you to accept things
I need to realize that these feelings are not all of me. And they will pass.
Today I got very frustrated in therapy and I realized that it was a passing thing and that perhaps I could still benefit from it even if I didn't always get what I wanted. But I did have a challenging day and I know that only a week ago I would have just quit. But I didn't quit I just vented to my roommate. And let the feelings pass.
