Mindfulness Daily Check-in 17th July 2019
Hi everyone!!
How are you all today? I hope your day has started off brightly!
I wondered what do you do for self-care? Can you share with us what works for you? Perhaps it's a particular mindfulness activity... share away! Maybe it's going for a walk or painting your nails... It can be small and just whatever works for you! :)
I like to practice yoga and I aim to do this 3 times per week as I often get caught up with daily tasks to do it daily but I gradually want to try and do it daily as it's so relaxing. I like to walk a lot too as it helps to balance the mind from a busy week or day. What about you?
If you are struggling for some ideas here are some below:
Start a compliments file. Document the great things people say about you to read later. Perhaps you could even include the nice things that people write about you on 7 Cups!
Find 3 things that you are grateful for each day and start a gratitude journal.
Do one thing today that makes you and only you happy! Take the time to nourish yourself.
Speak kindly to your innerself... hold back on the negative criticism.
Unplug from all devices for an hour and create space for you.
Be still for 10 minutes and practice being mindful
Nourish your body and make one small change to your diet. Make it small and achievable, increase your fruit and veg by one portion extra a day.

@LisaDeRegtMBPsS
What a brilliant and inspiring post, thank-you!
Listening .... One Step At A Time
@MistyMagic ello great your here! Yes me twooo aggrees
A lot of my self-care is proactive! I'll groom myself, or clean my room (which I find calming), or go on 7cups!
@betterchoices
I love the pro-active self-care routines that you have. Cleaning is really therapeutic at times :)
@LisaDeRegtMBPsS
Thank you Lisa! These activities are simple to add into a routine but would make a big difference; I never heard of a compliments log, haha. I admire that you are able to distill wisdom into managable steps for positive changes like this. I appreciate the 'visual aid', too!
@calypteanna
I hope you can find some self-care routines for you calpteanna :)
@LisaDeRegtMBPsS wow Lisa this is pretty and good! Thank you hun. Self care is so very hard to place in if your not used to doing it. Took me many years to even try. But for my self care, my clients POA saw I was to stressed from many things going wrong at work, he took me up to the mountains yesterday. I so enjoy nature, being around the crystal clear water falls, the animals, just the beauty.
I came back all refreshed and a new look on things I have no control over. I am grateful
@RumpleSteeleSkin
Going into the mountains is so beautiful and to be surrounded by nature whilst being mindful sounds like just what you needed. I hope you're feeling a little better now Rumple!
@LisaDeRegtMBPsS
Some things I do for "Self-Care" are things that I obviously tend to "enjoy" as well....
I love being near the "Water" (whether Pool, Lake, Beach etc...)..... So I've been swimming ALOT this summer, and taking my dog for walks in the afternoons at our Local Lake~ Being near the water relaxes me and I don't have to "think" much~
And while on the subject of "water"... I love soaking in Hot Epsom Salt baths and relaxing some more~.......
(and NAPS!)... Naps are great for self care lol
@PoliteOcean
I love your username! Water is so relaxing and it sounds like it really helps you. I love being by the ocean and the lakes it's very mesmerising too! I love that you take your dogs to the lake, we do that here too and it's so good for them and us too! Epsom salt baths!! Those are incredible. Thank you for sharing as those are brilliant ways to practice the art of self-care.
As Rumple says it takes a long time to get into the habit of taking care of yourself too but small changes can make such a big difference.
