Mindfulness Daily Check-In Sept. 14, 2019
Hello Mindfulness Community!!
Today's check-in is simple. I want to learn, "What has life taught you recently?" & how are you feeling about it?
I know every day we learn something either easy or hard way. But, we never talk about how those lessons made us feel. So here we are to reflect on our feelings for these lessons. It made you feel good, bad or in between them, share here with the community and me.
Let's learn from each other!

The response to every situation is a response to what is different about the situation.
I am learning that being worried about things just gets me stuck thinking about the future. I better focus on this moment enjoy it and get to work with a smile.
@ASilentObserver
I learned creation doesn't come from "nowhere", it comes from something inside us that wants/needs to come out. When we create some and bring it forth something to others, we're bringing ourselves. What do we want to say about ourselves? Each piece is a statement of who we are or what we are or need... if we need more passion in our lives, put more passion into our creations. People will see/feel/taste the passion in it and so will we! Our energy comes through in our creations.
I feel great about learning this! It helps me understand why I'm not doing many of the things I love... my energy is not there at this point in my life. I notice my energy is going into leading exercise classes with my clients, searching for an apartment and a man, and creating awesome yummy passionate plant-based meals. I'm so done with searching and ready to unstick myself and get back to things I love again! Can't wait for huge change in my life!
@ASilentObserver Yay thanks so much for posting this lovely question 
In one of the mindfulness chats I learned about acceptance, and how beneficial it is to accept things you cannot change. This is something I'm currently working on, along with boundaries, in order to focus more on myself, the present, and things I want to be doing to help myself :)
I feel really great focusing on myself more. It might sound selfish but to me it isn't. It's more like cutting out the bad in my life and focusing on the good more. It has even helped my mood. I feel better about waking up in the morning and looking forward to my day. 
@ASilentObserver
"What has life taught you recently?" & how are you feeling about it?
that all you need is really inside of you and that you wont be perfect for anybody and that it is totally okay.
@ASilentObserver thanks for this question.
I am feeling like whatever I focus my attention on grows in my mind in importance. The more I focus on what is helping the less I see results that are harming.
