When you put well-being at first place, you could bring a positive change in your life.

Obs says "Hello" to his lovely mates. He hopes that you all are doing well, practicing mindfulness and experiencing its positive energy.

Another week coming to an end and weekend coming. Obs' week was super hectic and tightly scheduled one. surprise He was busy juggling among various tasks and roles in life and here. Ugh! And he was thinking how good he is at juggling. cheeky But seems like need more improvement. With keeping that in mind, he thought that he isn't alone who juggling like this. Many of his mates doing same and most probably they also had a rough, hectic week at workplace, college or at house.

So, he thinking to add some activities this Sunday for him to relax, de-clutter and expand his mindfulness by extra self-care. Hopefully it may allow him to be productive next week. Here's a small ideas he going to try this Sunday:

1. Sleep for few more hours and allow body and mind to rebuild and restore the energy and focus.

2. De-clutter his space by laundry, cleaning and oh yeah cooking for his parents and sibling.

3. Yay, and he is excited to watch a movie "Black Panther" with his best friend. They both hardly able to find time to hangout. So, definitely a plus point.

4. Write and finish pending drafts of blog posts.

5. Spend some good time with family. Yayyyy!!! So, seems like he has a handful list of fun this Sunday.

Oh wait, surprise Obs have some ways to share too:

Sleep for an additional hour this weekend. We all know the benefits of sleep. but a good and sound sleep has better benefits as it allows to heal, restore, reenergize your body and mind. On weekends, sleeping an additional hour or couple could allow to meet the sleep need of your body and mind. Maybe, set the alarm for weekends an hour or two late of your regular time. Having a steady pattern could help you in long term.

Crack a Joke, cheeky and share a laugh with your family and friends. See who saying this? Obs has poor sense of humor and saying to crack jokes. But point is sharing a good laugh with your family and friends. Or maybe, watch a comedy movie or sitcom. Or even make funny faces and postures to make your loved ones laugh. Maybe mimickry? cheeky Laughing is good for facial muscles as well as fill your heart with joy. A good mindful exercise.

Do one thing that you like and can't enjoy it on weekdays. Anything it could be as it vary from one person to another. Like, I couldn't spend time with dogs but on Sunday try to catch up with them. Similarly, do what you like.

Now, Obs curious to know how was the weekdays and what's in the bucket of his mates for this weekend? surprise Share! Share!

Footnote: Apology from Obs as he takes bit of time for replying now but he is reading all the thoughts and appreciating his mates. It is just he has bit of hectic schedule at times. sad Sowwwiee!! Group Hugs!!

Packed the new camper and made reservations for next weekend. Just need to buy a little bit of food for breakfast on Thursday. Very excited to ensure every thing works correctly in the camper before our big trip on spring break to the coast with our square dance club.

HI Silent.smiley I use pictures sometimes cause many here are really in pain or down or just having a rough day. Pictures bring a smile and even get some on here to respond and feel welcomed and safe. Some days I use a lot of words. I know a lot of the community that visits here daily, so I try and figure out what they need at that timeheart

aaawww Silent big hugz for you okheart

hugs GIF

I really liked this check-in today Silent. Cause my life can get very busy in a heart beat. Taking care of the teens and all they are involved in, all my animals need care, attention and cleaning, my house always needs cleaning, my new job routines and then comes MEindecision At times even for me my priorities take over I feel. I get stressed,overwhelmed and even at times forget things. But........

Since we been talking on this alot in mindfulness of "self care" and "slowing down" I too have been placing this in my daily life. Sleep is one thing now I am focusing on. As my tablet and movies over power my nights-lol

All in all I have done improving and I am not going to over focus this cause in reality sometimes our lives do get hectic. Its when we have that free time to take some of that for selfheartheart

Awh I always love seeing your daily-checkins! I agree, its important to do something really good for yourself on the weekend :)

I will definitely sleep in - but I might also read! I never have any time to read, and I think reading is a great way of escaping and practising mindfulness quietly with a good book.

Hope you enjoy your weekend, it sounds great :D

Well I was not welcome in the Trauma group today since they didn't like my answers after buying the book they require for the group. Great just another group like the Self Harm group that doesn't not care about me and my issues.
