1. How is your 2nd week on your goal? Going good we actually had more time to talk this week because it is finals week and they don't have to go to school as many hours.
2. Do you find anything easy or challenging in staying mindful of your goal? I know nothing about cars so this week was a little challenging when he wanted to talk about cars. I did talk to him about other things that I did know. This week he wanted to talk a lot about car stuff since he is sound proofing his car. He had his car in lots of pieces in my garage and learning lots from YouTube. Glad the kids have the web unlike we did when we where kids to save tons of money so they can learn and do things themselves instead of taking it some where and paying someone else. My car is cold and outside tonight but at least the rest of this week it wasn't since he had ice on this windows when we woke up.
3. Please share any mindfulness skills you try and are helpful? Did a lot of counting, breathing and other coping skills this week. Tried the CES on Mindalive.com this week that my therapist had me borrow. He loves the results and now we are trying to find a way to convince my husband to spend the money to buy it since my therapist thinks my husband could use it also.

Well even tho the finals were there, I am so glad this happened and you both got to talk more. Ha on the car chatter-like my kids and their anime things. Thing is you were there-present and was able to keep the talk going regardless. I bet he felt special. OMG glad Google is there as a parent so I can sound some what smart on what they wanna chat on-lol. Wow good job Dana on the mindfulness practicing this week. Those 1-2-3 all of a sudden to 1,000 does work. Right now I am starting the CES Do you know everyone in this world could use some mindfulness. Thank you for sharing this Dana and keep up the good work
Thanks
@RumpleSteeleSkin
@DanaMH awww so sweet that you are trying to talk cars with your son. I wouldn't know anything about it either! And YouTube is the best! I use it all the time for knitting help :)
I love listening to YouTube for DBT Mindfulness Meditation.
@Jill7cups
I've used music with the little Turtles. Little Turtle and I have had a dance everyday and learned some body part names. I,ve used it for calming and relaxing with the two Baby Turtles while we've been doing baby massage.
@brilliantTurtle89 yay momma turtle great to see youawwww how music calms the soul even in little wee turtles. I am smiling to hear you use music in good ways to sooth, teach and also wiggle. Keep up the good work and keep sharing on things.
P.S. I just bought me a land tortoise he is so so small. Well idk if its a he or a she yet that's how small "it" is. Hopefully Ill share some pics. So calm and loves to nuzzle and be held
@RumpleSteeleSkin
Thats adorable. Can't wait to see him/her
@RumpleSteeleSkin WE NEED PICS!
@Jill7cups
they coming they coming
@brilliantTurtle89 that so wonderful! Music at an early age is suppose to be good for brain development too. Yay turtles!
Happy to report I've been more present in the last week+ and am making progress. Not perfect but I do catch myself. So overall going well!
@Jill7cups ellooo dereGood to hear that you are more present in your days! No one needs to be perfect in being mindful or trying to reach a goal. Noooope! Keep up the good work Jill
Week 3 challengs is back over in Parenting, click here to go see and post!
@Jill7cups
3rd week already
@RumpleSteeleSkin
I'm just joining the challenging but my goal isn't new.
What I find challenging is that I have 4 children to try and catch with good behaviour, the difficulty is that they are all different and respond differently to feedback. I've had some unsuccessful responses but I've atleast worked out that my 3rd child responds best with physical contact.
@Twinklestar888
HI Star good to see you here! Ha so yes our kids are so different and their needs too. But one thing I found out as a parent is they love direction and something to focus on. Can I suggest maybe doing an erase board and each child has some sort of goal or behavior they are willing to work on. They see their progress and can also encourage each other. I do hope your goal continues and you as a parent feel it changing through your kids
