"Are you enjoying what you doing?"

Good morning everyone, smiley I hope everyone doing great at practicing mindfulness and enjoying its impact. Also, would like to send my gratitude to you for all the support, love, cooperation and amazing engagement. You all fabulous. I always loved to read and hear your thoughts about mindfulness and so on. So, a small "Thank You" to entire community & Mindfulness Team for building such an amazing sub-community.

So I was thinking about this lately. It seems so easy for us to get absorbed in our day to day activities of our work life or love life or family life or 7Cups Life? surprise Most of us just pushing ourselves to get the needful done. But while doing it, we forget to enjoy them.

Obviously doing daily activities has no fun. It is more often like a ritual. Like, after opening eyes in the morning, hand get busy in finding where is phone? surprise for what? To look at time! laugh Instead of looking at wall clock, we find phone to check the time. Then, surprise Where is coffee? Where are my office clothes? Breakfast? Lunch? Office bag? and so many lists rush into mind. But, do you enjoy doing them?

How many of us opened eyes in morning with a thought, "Oh wow, today, its a pleasant morning.", "Whatever will happen in day, "I'm ready to learn something new." "Will enjoy my day." Do we?

Maybe mindful people practice it now and then but what about us? We still learning to be mindful of ourselves. So, I think we could try to enjoy what we do. Success not defined by what you achieved, but how much you enjoyed achieving it?

Example, Rumple, Soul, Emu, Obs do checkins on alternate days. We do it every other day because we loved to interact with our community. Know your thoughts and well being. We enjoy communicating and knowing each other. And that's what keep us going and steal time too from other activities we have scheduled in a day. cheeky And, when you share your wonderful thoughts and insights on those checkins while enjoying to share it, that's what the success we achieve for our check-ins. heart

Sometimes days could be challenging,but enjoying what you do and with people allow you to feel better about yourself. Being mindful of oneself a day, an activity. Mindful people want to be engaged and continue to feel the enthusiasm for doing what they do.

So, let's pause for a minute, think and share your thoughts with us. Let's try to enjoy what we doing.

I attended the sleep study last night for the minimum amount 6 hours. We thought I was having a heart attack about 12:15am, I refused to go to the ER until the study was done. They refused to have a MD enter the room. I was and am having breathing issues. Went to ER and the MD took a little longer with me this morning but said to call my MD's which I did. ER MD said: Schedule an appointment as soon as possible for a visit with William R George, MD. and the other MD's

Please contact your PCP's office to let them know that you were seen in the Emergency Department (8 times), and to schedule appropriate follow up care.

In the Emergency Department we focus on looking for conditions that are emergently life-threatening. This means that we may not have discovered the exact cause of your symptoms, and you will likely require further evaluation for your complaint.

Please return to the Emergency Department if your symptoms do not improve, or if you develop any new or worsening symptoms.

GI called me at 8:11am and still refuses to make me an appt. even thou the on-call MD said they would move the appt sooner.

Maybe I should not tell anyone about my PAIN!!!!!!

Been calling PCP, Cardiolist, GI and Neuorlist all day long. Maybe I should just die since the ER Dr didn't want to help me??????

@DanaMH I feel your frustration. I don't want you to die. it does feel sometimes like living hurts too much when things like this happen. I don't know what to say except I feel you right now.

I find it odd that memebers can type the word sex to us listeners but we need to phrase our response without that word in it.

Seeing therapist today

@ASilentObserver My biggest obstacle to letting go is the fact I still live at home where a lot of bad things happened. I honestly think I could be more mindful and could enjoy the present, If I could move on from the past. How do we overcome the bad things that have happened if lets say I'm still living at home with the parents that were abusive and I'm angry at one of them in particular. What can I do in this situation. I've tried getting out there and socialising but I don't enjoy it. It's still on my mind and it effects everything I do.

hi there, i just read your post. I am so sorry that you have to face these challenges, it must be very difficult for you, yet you still have the strength to reach out and the desire to be mindful. I hope that you continue to learn mindfulness and that it will help you to see the nice things in life to make you happy. You definitively deserve it.

I noticed that what I'm doing right now, wasting time online (not 7Cups, definitely not 7Cups, but what I was doing before that) isn't as enjoyable as I'd like it to be. What I really want to do right now is instead of shutting up my thoughts, I want to channel them. I think I'm going to get back to writing today. I haven't done that in over a month I think.
