Mindfulness Daily Check-in February 22' 2018
Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.- Einstein
We are different from others and if we compare with others, it means somewhere it leading to misrepresentation of true YOU. Here, significance of self-awareness comes into light. Self-awarness means being conscious of who you are, the real you and what defines your character? How you act or react to specific situation? It is necessary for one's well being.
"The only way to do great work is to love what you do.- Steve Jobs
This statement by Jobs is reminder that to know what you love to do, be self-aware of yourself. Unless you know what you love to do? You wouldn't be able to do, enjoy and display an example of great work.
Like at workplace, one might be best with MS Excel, then some would be lovely presenters, some would be the amazing speakers and some would be wonderful trainers. But what if the role of these amazing people shuffled? Would they be able to demonstrate great work as doing earlier? Maybe not, maybe take good of time to reach to that level? Because they may not be enjoying what they will need to do. To a certain affect, art of doing great work comes naturally to them because they enjoy it and always explore better ways to do it. And, by recognising what you like and dislike could allow to reflect your strengths.
And it reminds me that to test your level of self-awareness, express yourself in three words on a notepad, and then ask 5 close people to describe you in three words. Just ensure that others sharing honest feedback with you and not just created one. So, let's say if 3 out of 5 people mentioned, you're "Helpful" then, it means you are really good at helping others. And, it will also make you realize how good self-awareness you have about yourself.
and here comes the activity of the day! Let's know how much we know ourselves?
I) What three words describe the better you? Why?
II) You have also choice to share the three best words to describe me (Obs). 
Review time!! *hides* (It is optional, all your choice, if you like to share, please!!)

Let's know how much we know ourselves? Alot more than any MD or any other person on this plant
@ASilentObserver Hello! I loved reading this post! For the better me, I would say intellectual, selfless, and compassionate. For you, I would say kind-hearted, eloquent, and wise. :)
@SaimaK
Thank you for checking in today! Feel free to share why you feel you are those traits 💕
@sailorelix Thank you! :) I believe that I am intellectual, because I love to learn and try to expand my knowledge as much as I can in all areas possible. I believe that I am selfless, because I always put others first no matter what. I believe that I am compassionate, because I always try to understand, support, and help others. :)
@SaimaK Wonderful words to describe yourself Saima. You are wonderful. And thank you for the kind words <3 hugs <3
@ASilentObserver :) Thank you, and you're welcome! You are absolutely wonderful as well! Hugs! <3 :)
@ASilentObserver
Silent love this check-in thank you
I do believe what you feed yourself will reep what you think of yourself. Feed your brain negative you get negative. Feed it positive and well you can fly like a great elephant does
I) What three words describe the better you? Why?
determined,caring, grateful. I guess I say these things due to my life. Always did things for myself and no matter what I lacked not to have in life I still gave to another.
@RumpleSteeleSkin
That is so beautiful and I'm so glad to have such a kind person as my friend 💖
@RumpleSteeleSkin Thank you Rumple and lovely words to describe yourself. <3
@ASilentObserver
Thanks Silent and @sailorelix
Learning - because with every choice I make, whether it turns out to be either a good or a bad one, I learn and grow and become a different, and I hope better, person. I never want to stop learning.
Hopeful - because I have faith in people, I still do. And I believe in second-chances even more. We can do better, together. As long as you stay hopeful, you won't give up.
Open - I'm open to a lot of things around me, whether it be new experiences, other people's opinions or a new concept I've not yet heard off. I believe that the more open you are to what is around you, the less likely you are to prejudice others. I'm not saying that I don't, I'm saying I'm working on it though, and that I catch myself whenever I do have biased thoughts on people or concepts or objects I don't know.
@JayTheBird14
Thank you for that wonderful description ! I especially like what you have to say about being open. You sound like a very mindful person. I certainly agree with you by the way 💖
@JayTheBird14 Awesome Jay. Great Self-Awareness. Much appreciated <3 Hugs!! Happy Birthday once again!!
@ASilentObserver
The better me: calm, pain-free, delightful
This is what people say about me: The current me: friendly, impulsive, happy
@ReservedExcitement

Thanks for acknowledging my presence
@ReservedExcitement Sounds good Reserved. Glad to see you in today's check-in. Thank you for being here with us.
@ASilentObserver
Not here for long
@ASilentObserver Great post. Often we think we have to do things that we do not have a talent for when what we can do naturally is often the easiest and most productive thing for us to do.
i see myself as Patient, Kind and Alert
You are kind, considerate and hard working
@soulsings
Oh yes, lovely self-awareness Soul. You are. Thank you for being here and sharing your thoughts with us. <3
This is my day today. Not very mindful but lots of emails sent.
Well you don't have to worry about me calling 911 ever again!!!!
ER Psyc ward said, "Follow up with PCP, MD." So what does PCP want me to do since they don't want me to call 911 anymore for chest pain even thou this was my first time to ever call 911 in Veneta, OR and I have lived here about 2 years so they werent very nice saying that. (THEY being ER pysc ward, Fire Department and Police Department). I have never called 911 in my whole life for a medical issue before so not sure why they would ever say to me DO NOT CALL 911). Dr Cook's office called 911 2 times trying to get an ambulance to drive me to Riverbend Hospital after she convinced me to go to the ER at all since they never help me. 3 police officers that FINALLY SHOWED UP AFTER SHE AND I WERE ON THE PHONE ALMOST 1 HOUR. They wouldnt talk to her and told me to hang up which I told her. We chatted for a while and then they left after REFUSSING TO CALL AND AMBULANCE!!!!! I then called the triage nurse back and she then told me to call 911 since the they refused to call an ambulance and left after we chatted which she had to convince me again to even go to the ER. SO I DID and that is the LAST TIME I EVER DO THAT AFTER I WAS POORLY AND RUDELY TREATED BY EVERYONE TODAY AND THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN IN MY LIFE EVER AGAIN!!!!! I had an ambulance then in my driveway which refused to take me after I left my house which THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN IN MY LIFE EVER AGAIN!!!!! They brought me by police car to the wrong hospital after The University district brought me into pysc ward and refused to let me have my phone to call my MD's and therapist refused to let me see any MD, GI, Neurologist, Cardiologist or have a stress test with nook lab or MRI or Cat scan. I hit my head again when passing out when tripping on blanket trying to get to call button and they said, We are monitoring you and you did not fall even thou I was unconscious on the floor. I was treated very RUDELY from entire staff with them treating to drag me when I was dizzy due to laying on the floor and sitting in the bathroom asking them to help me walk. They wouldnt give me the pillow or blankets back for comfort even thou I asked many people and I was shivering and very cold. They also are doing construction which the bounding did not help my head at all with the migraine they gave me. They should all be fired. Was not given medical treatment only pysc treatment. I need built in code words in my chart for the next time an IDIOT WANTS TO TAKE ME THERE FOR THEM TO CALL MY PCP.
I also need some process with Lincoln since I did send messages and called his cell asking for help but he is a busy man and has lots of customers. They wouldnt even stop by his office to talk to him even thou we drove right by it!!!!!
I called OHSU and an on-call MD which is not really sure what to do for my head yet and she and I are again waiting for an MD to work tomorrow to help me. This is just another reason why I need local doctors to help me but NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE ABOUT MY MEDICAL ISSUES/NEEDS!!!!!
I am not paying for today's ER Visit since I didn't get medical treatment from a MD or at the Hospital I wanted to go to so you can take it up with them if you aren't paying today's bill since I wasn't given a choice to go or not!!!!
