Mindfulness Daily Check-in January 25

Hello Everyone!!

"Your own positive future begins in this moment. All you've is right now. Every goal is possible from here."

We have a beautiful wired brain. Every day it produces so many thoughts and ideas. Though, I observed most of the time we easily dwell in the thoughts of what not going well? what happened bad with us? How something can hit us badly and negatively? And, so on!!

So, our mind always get distracted easily due to negative thoughts. Distractions are block in the way of being mindful. And especially when mind dwell in negative thoughts, then practicing and being mindful not going to be an easy task for us.

To practice mindfulness, we need to deal with our distraction. To deal with distraction, we need to deal with our negative thoughts. And to deal with our negative thoughts, we need to be mindful about probing oneself positively.

So, yeah!! probing is one of the way to practice mindfulness.

And, today I want that we should practice bit of mindfulness by reflecting what's going right in our lives? We always talked about what bad happening with us and with what we are struggling through. Today's lets do something different.

What's Going Right In Your Life? Let's Discuss!! heart

Also, do share if you have any suggestions or ideas to improve our checkins so we can enjoy them more. smiley

I'm going to school again! It was a huge point of stress for months, but I'm picking myself up. Slowly, but it's progress. Also I have a really good therapist (finally!) who gives me new skills to practice rather than just listening to me spill my thoughts each session. I'm meeting new people and moving forward after a very stressful and low few months.

For me, I've started thinking of my negative thoughts, more as 'unproductive' or 'obstructive'. Negative thoughts makes me feel like I can only think of good things. But like in meditation, if I have an unproductive thought, I can just say "That's not a helpful thought right now. Let's come back to the helpful thoughts." Negative thoughts may be true, but I like seeing them as obstructive. They may be true, but they are standing between me and what I want in life, therefore I don't need to dwell on them.

@BlueMossWeaver27, I *love* the way you approach "negative" thoughts. I think I"m going to tag along and think of them as "non-productive", "unhelpful", and "obstructive", too. Thanks for the great idea!!!

My kids teachers really like them. If I was as terrible a parent as my husband says I am, surely they wouldnt be doing so well at school?

@Longing4peace oh I am sure you are doing something right. Our partners often see the worst in us because they cannot bear to admit that quality is in them. And they only praise themselves missing a world of people who contribute so much. Good job!
