Mindfulness Daily Check-in Dec 29
How immediately do you react to a situation?
We all have stress in our lives. Different things and people make you feel stressed.
Friends, jobs, studies, life challenges, money issues, mental, physical or emotional health issues.
And so on... Name it and you find that they stressed you out.
So what we do?
React to the situation instantly.
Whatever comes in mind at that moment, we react on it. Without thinking about the consequences of it.
And, later the consequences itself become another reason to stress about.
So, sometimes taking a minute to notice, acknowledge and pause to reflect could help you to improve your response.
Our responses impact our life. Pretty much. So, making some good responses could help us to lead our life better.
What do you say?

Happy Weekend!!

few months ago I saw someone posted here this quote
if you are not smiling you're doing it wrong
I use it in everything I do, even in very small things like... eating, going to sleep, waking up, put my clothes on, turning on my devices...
now I'm not saying I'm a mad man who always smile, but I try to live in the moment, to enjoy it. and if we enjoy the moment , we automatically smile.
@onerandomguy that is amazing Guy. Thank you for sharing your thoughts <3 Happy New Year <3
@ASilentObserver
Happy New Year ! May all your dreams for 2019 come true

@ANGLEBUDDYS That is good Angle. Happy New Year <3
@ASilentObserver thanks for the checkin
Our responses impact our life. Pretty much. So, making some good responses could help us to lead our life better.
What do you say? I think it is important to stop before we respond and make sure we are not just having a knee jerk reaction.
How do you respond to a situation? Share your experiences with us. Well the first thing I do is take a deep breath and try to get to a place where I am not angry. My partner was doing stupid things and I could not eat my breakfast I was so upset so I washed the dishes. That distraction took me out of anger and then I enjoyed my breakfast.
@soulsings Thank you soul for sharing your amazing insights <3

Hi Obs, this is indeed a good question. Usually I try to listen to what my "guts" tells me, then I look at the pros and cons. I try to find the middle way between both. When I am very emotionally involved it could however happen that my first reaction is from the "guts".
@amiablePeace77 That is good Peace. I appreciate it. Happy New Year <3
I struggle with conversations that involve confiict or trying to make a point. To be honest, all conversations are stressful and poorly executed. I feel that if I don't speak quickly and soon that the opportunity will pass. I think that deep down I feel like my thoughts and feelings will be dismissed anyway, I don't think I have ever sucessfully convinced anyone of anything. Lack of confidence is one issue, low self esteem may be an alternative analysis. I so want to have meaningful conversations, especially with my wife. I fear my lack of listening skills, poor memory, and glaring lack of tact are hurdles that I can only overcome with practice. How to practice seems to be thought at the front of my mind, maybe I should write it down before I forget. Have a great day.
@ruffneckred I hear you. Communication is difficult for me when I am hijacked by my emotions and thoughts. Mindfulness has helped me build my self esteem.
If you happen to see this by 3:30 PM EST there is a mindfulness discussion in the mindfulness room on Mondays and on Thursday at 5:30PM EST under Chat and Group Support Chat
@ruffneckred I understand Ruff. Though I appreciate all your efforts on it. We all are with you to support and help in all possible ways we could. Happy New Year <3
@ASilentObserver
Hi Silent thanks so much for this very thoughtful check in
I can say my reactions to certain things has gotten better. Still need some more work tho. I how ever think for me learning some new mindfulness skills can help me a great deal. As like other huuuumons-lol somethings get under my skin FAST
and this is not good as I am not happy with myself. But.....how others give me feedback and "listen" to me does make a difference rather then someone "jabbering" on and on.
So for me it's more and new mindfulness skills
@RumpleSteeleSkin Thank you Rumple for amazing thoughts. Happy New Year <3
