Mindfulness Daily Check-in 26th June 2019
Hi everyone,
I usually do mindfulness techniques or ask questions related to mindfulness but today... I simply wanted to ask how you are today? I wanted you to be honest too! :) Often, the most simplest of things go unnoticed and I think it's is a pretty important question! :)
I hope wherever you are that you are happy and if you are not then we hope you know that we are a supportive and kind bunch here.

Thanks for asking. I'm overwhelmed and a little sad. July is going to be a month of huge changes for me and I'm trying to prepare. I'm leaving behind a work environment that I've had for 14 years. Stepping way out of my comfort zone.
@MissPen
Stepping out of your comfort zone is incredibly scary but sometimes we find the change is really something we need or maybe not what we need but a positive chage. I hope you can let us know how you get on. Can you write out how you're feeling in a journal or somewhere on your computer? Releasing those feelings can really help us to make sense of that tangled overwhelmed feeling inside.
@MissPen
And I hope you are feeling a little less sad soon. Please always remember there is someone here on 7 Cups to listen!
I am well, thank you! Yesterday I made a lot of art and did a lot of good work for myself! I was so happy and felt so productive. Today I will do even more!
@betterchoices
Yay to this. I love this :) I wish I was as creative as you as it sounds like this is a way you express yourself and having that peaceful time to create art sounds very productive with what you produce and perhaps making sense of what is happening in your mind (or not focusing on this!).
@LisaDeRegtMBPsS I've actually never really made art related to my trauma... I find that I can't. Nothing at all comes to my mind...
@LisaDeRegtMBPsS Doing well the emotions peaked and are settling down.
In fact we are doing mindfulness discussion in Mindfulness at 5:30 PM EDT so if you can come on along and let's practice being here.
@soulsings
I would have been there but it's a little too late for me ahhh! I am based in SAST but I would love to come if there are earlier times? Thank you so much for letting me know!
@LisaDeRegtMBPsS mindfulness also meets at 3:30PM EDT on Mondays if that is any better.
@soulsings
Great! Thank you so much. Do we meet in the chatroom in this community here? That is a lot better but I will not be able to make the full hour as I've got another weekly meeting at 4pm EDT. I'll definitely pop in though :)
@LisaDeRegtMBPsS the discussion starts in the Mindfulness Room. That is only a pop-up room so it will not open till 3:20 or 10 minutes before discussion begins.
Drop ins are welcome and if you must lurk that is okay too.
Happy 4th of July. No discussions on the 4th from 50+ or mindfulness
We also do some mindfulness discussions in Fifty plus room. Here is an example of one

@LisaDeRegtMBPsS mindfulness also meets at 3:30PM EDT on Mondays if that is any better.
@LisaDeRegtMBPsS
Lisa, maybe a simple question but also the best one in my opinion. Nothing is better than being asked in an honest way how you feel, it "warms" people's heart - so thank you for asking.
I am happy to say, I feel awesome, kind like having found the anchor I lost for some time.
@amiablePeace77
This is beautiful. I am so glad you are feeling more balanced and happier. Please let me know how you found the lost anchor? I am intrigued and whatever it was I am so happy you found it!!
@LisaDeRegtMBPsS
Lisa, a lot of things came together, lots of learning to love myself, stepping out of comfort zone, taking a risk, setting boundaries, learning to give myself comfort - understanding I just need to make myself happy and knowing I can rely on myself again - basically internalizing "I Matter"
@amiablePeace77
"I matter", this is such an important concept and I am so glad to hear about all of the things that you are doing to show yourself love and care.
@LisaDeRegtMBPsS
Hi
@sensitiveShade5337
Hi Sensitive, how are you over there? :)
@LisaDeRegtMBPsS
not well, how are you?
@LisaDeRegtMBPsS
Thanks for asking!! How nice that you care! I appreciate that! :)
I feel great while I'm a little stuck in limbo, between my old dream and my new one, but it's a good place to be and I'm grateful I'm able to choose my next endeavour!
@onwardforevenmore
That feeling of being stuck in limbo can feel a little off but it sounds like you are using it really productively and I hope you can make the moments of being in limbo more pleasant. You have a lot of new plans happening and this sounds like so much fun!
