Practing a beginners mindset
by pamharley003
Last post
 3 days ago
...See more A beginner's mindset in Buddhism or Zen is known as "don't-know mind" or shoshin. This means approaching a task, relationships, and learning with an eager mind and being non-judgmental. This is where you begin to let go of assumptions and have a free attitude. A beginner's mind is known to say, "I wonder how this works," to where an expert's mind is saying, "I already know how this works." A person's beginner mind needs to slow down and process what is being done or said. We just need to think before saying or acting out our emotions. We can begin using our mindset by looking at an object and pretending we never saw it. We begin to look at the shape, colors, and textures of the object. We can begin to notice our "what if" stance, asking ourselves, "What if I am wrong?" Common types of mindset: Growth vs. fixed mindset: Believing your talents are developed through hard work. Abundance vs. scarcity mindset: believing there is success, resources, and opportunities rather than thinking in a negative way. Stress Mindset: Viewing stress in a negative way rather than viewing it in a positive and learning way. How can we build our mindset where it is safe for us to have?

Fill Up Your Cup
by hopefulDew435
Last post
 February 4th
...See more "You can't pour from an empty cup." This statement highlights the importance of self-care, and implies that you can't pour, without first filling up your cup. We give a lot of our time and energy to others, but it’s important to fill our cups with the same.  "Self-care is giving the world the best of you, instead of what's left of you." ~ Katie Reed. It's not selfish to be intentional about replenishing our energy. It's actually beneficial. Not only do we become capable of effectively showing up for others, but we grow into our most authentic and best selves, who feel habitually loved and nurtured. How do you fill up your cup?  Let's consider some gentle ways to do so:

Cat´s silent week experiment
by sadcat13
Last post
 August 8th, 2025
...See more Recently, I came across a major problem in my life. And that being how much noise I am constantly in, how many things do I want to do and how little time I have. I´m a chronic multitasker and come home-pop on a podcast type of person, so true silence is something i haven´t experienced for a long time. And yes, my attention span is fried too 🍟 A while ago, I decided to uninstall *** due to how badly it affected my mental health. And the break helped me a lot. I felt much happier, healthier and had more time to do things that actually fulfill me. In this experiment, I will be taking this week and try to avoid audio distractions when it´s up to me, and see how it goes. Will probably try to update the comments with a short recap every day on how things went. Feel free to join me for a day or two, try this on your own or just follow along the madness of my underwhelmed brain being forced to deal with itself. Hopefully, I will walk out from this week mentally and emotionally recharged, at least as much as my busy schedule allows it 😁 Also, I won´t be tagging anyone this time to keep my focus, so if you found this, congratulations, you are part of the secret catpost club now 😁

🌟 Embrace the Magic Within You 🌟
by MukShah381
Last post
 July 19th, 2024
...See more In the quiet moments between the chaos of life, pause and listen to the whisper of your dreams. They are the gentle reminders of your potential, waiting to unfold like petals in the warmth of dawn. You are a universe of possibilities, a canvas where every experience paints a story of resilience and growth. Embrace the rhythm of your journey, for every step carries the melody of your heart's desires. In the garden of your soul, tend to the flowers of kindness, courage, and gratitude. Let them bloom brightly, scattering seeds of hope in every direction. Your existence is a symphony, playing a melody that resonates with the stars and echoes through eternity. Remember, within you lies the power to create, to heal, and to love unconditionally. Each day is a gift, an opportunity to weave the threads of your dreams into the tapestry of reality. Believe in the beauty of your aspirations. Embrace the journey, embrace yourself, and let your light shine as a beacon of inspiration to the world. May your heart be filled with joy, and may your soul dance with the wonder of all that you are capable of.

The Mindfulness Center welcomes you to a place where it is okay to just be, and not worry about 100 things. You can observe nature or your own room, follow your breath going in and out, or be aware of your feet touching the sidewalk as you head home. It is all mindfulness. 

There are no hard and fast rules on how to be mindful, and you do not have to do anything a certain way. There are guidelines to help us stay on the path of mindfulness, like in the Daily Checkins, where team members share insights and tips about mindfulness. You can join in the discussions there, or in any of the forum threads. 

You will also find videos in the resource center that talk about what is mindfulness and guide us on a journey to having an actual experience right now of what it feels like to be free of our “thought train”, as we let ourselves go and relax a bit. If all of this sounds good, join us for hosted sessions in which you can discuss and experience mindfulness first hand.

Community Guidelines

Stop and breath. Respect yourself and have compassion for what you are going through. 

Notice what is happening around you that your senses are telling you. Feel the breath go in and go out.

Feel good about yourself. Life has brought you on a journey up to here. That is reason to celebrate and appreciate all that life offers. And listen and feel the breath!
