Mindfulness Daily Check-in February 17' 2018
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.
He was busy juggling among various tasks and roles in life and here. Ugh! And he was thinking how good he is at juggling.
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,
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,
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?
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?
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.
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.

@RumpleSteeleSkin
Nice picture
@RumpleSteeleSkin
Nice one Rumple. :)
@ASilentObserver
HI Silent.
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 time
@ASilentObserver
and i slept longer
and i will crack jokes
and yeah will have fun fun fun
and hugs to you
@amiablePeace77
HIya Peace OMG sleeping in is soooooooooooo lovely to do. I done that yesterday but I also felt guilty as then I felt I had to rush and get certain things done. idk I have a routine
@RumpleSteeleSkin
i can understand rumple, i have a routine too but it feels so goooood to break it on sundays =D
@amiablePeace77
ooooooh sleeping in a bit more
@ASilentObserver
aaawww Silent big hugz for you ok

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 ME
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 self

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
@peppermintlove
Hiya Peppermint good to see you today
Reading a great book is wonderful!! Also it does practice mindfulness skills of paying attention, being in the here and now-the book. What book you gonna read?
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.
@DanaMH
Dana Im sorry to hear this. Maybe can you pm the leaders of that group? Im sure they do want you but may have their requirements for that closed group.
hugz
@RumpleSteeleSkin
I am part of their "closed group"
I am working on laundry and catching up on recorded tv shows today
This day, I took a rest and went to church.
annndddd... ate spaghetti!
@GoddessOfBlossoms
spaghetti sounds soooooo good. GI won't let me eat spicy food anymore.
@GoddessOfBlossoms
HI Goddess good to see you here
It sounds like you had a relaxed day.
mmmmm skettttiiiiii
