meditating to check in with how i feel
i also love going for walks with no purpose when i can just focus on what's around me and how i feel
@EllieKB thanks for sharing that. I like walks too this time of year. It is my gratitude walk because in another 6 weeks trees will all be bare where I live.
@soulsings
that is such a good point! i didn't think of that. i'm going to try to be more mindful of the trees when i go out today. thank you!
@EllieKB Walking is a way to practice mindfulness. Awesome way Ellie. Keep it up
Just listening to one of your favorite songs, and paying close attention to the different instruments. Count the beats, follow the melody, and the drums and such.
@BeingOfService Good one! Keep doing Being!
I have a terrible time being mindful!! Help!!
@HarpoonPolly yes mindfulness can be challenging at first but with practice we can get better. There are some resources you can use. The Mindfulness Sessions are run by hosts experienced in mindfulness practice. https://www.7cups.com/forum/MindfulnessSupportCommunity_106/TeamAnnouncements_1365/MindfulnessSessionSchedule_86509/?notifyID=185139624
The mindfulness video resource library has dozens of videos that explain more about mindfulness and help us experience it too. https://www.7cups.com/forum/MindfulnessSupportCommunity_106/ResourceLibrary_1062/MindfulnessVideoLibrary_53878/
The daily checkin has lots of relevant info too. Here is today's checkin. https://www.7cups.com/forum/MindfulnessSupportCommunity_106/MindfulnessDailyCheckins_1263/MindfulnessDailyCheckInSeptember152017_86771/
@soulsings Thanks for the resources links... Maybe I'll check them as well.
@Totheskyandbeyond you are welcome.
@soulsings
thank you for all the helpful information
@HarpoonPolly you are welcome
Writing in my journal, or stretching.
@BeingOfService Awesome way Being! keep doing 
@ASilentObserver Thank you :)
@BeingOfService You're welcome! 
Being at high places and just listening to the sound of cars and all that.
Being around nature, specially going to sit near ocean to hear the waves. Water is something soothing for me, even drinking from a fresh water spring while going on a hike, gives same feeling 
@eviesweet that is something that gives me joy too! Being around water is so soothing!
I like to stare at a picture and really pick out the shapes and colors and just see what types of images appear in my head.
@BeingOfService A lot of focus is needed indeed.
@Totheskyandbeyond Yeah, but eventually it comes naturally. I'm not there yet, but I hope to be soon!
Good luck with everything that you do! You are awesome.
@BeingOfService Aaaw thanks. You're awesome too. Yeah I want to meditate every day... So I need to practice a lot.
I feel mindful when I turn off the electronic devices for a bit. That includes TVs, computers, tablets, smart phones, etc. It's hard to do, but it's a helpful thing to do from time to time.
@Probius good idea especially before resting for the night. Gives us time to reconnect to our natural rhythms.
When I sleep or just mind my own business
