World Mental Health Day: Embracing Mindfulness
by ASilentObserver
Last post
 October 15th
...See more Hello, community,  I hope you are all taking it easy this week. As we all know World Mental Health Day is observed annually on October 10th. It is a global initiative aimed at raising awareness about mental health issues and challenges and promoting well-being. When it comes to promoting well-being, mindfulness is one of the powerful practices to attain it. Today I want us to explore this topic and how it can significantly enhance our mental health.  So what is mindfulness?  It is the practice of being fully present in the moment, without any judgment. It includes paying attention to our thoughts, feelings, and sensations without getting caught up in them. In today's busy world, mindfulness is the key to taking care of our well-being. Some of the benefits of practicing mindfulness are:  * It helps to reduce stress by calming the mind and body. It helps to lower cortisol levels, a hormone associated with stress. * When we are focused on the present moment, mindfulness can help to alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression. * It helps individuals better understand and manage their emotions, leading to greater emotional resilience. * Regular practice of mindfulness can improve sleep quality by reducing racing thoughts and promoting relaxation. * Also helps individuals become more aware of their thoughts and behaviors, leading to greater self-understanding. By practicing mindfulness in our daily lives, we can improve our mental health and overall well-being. So let's commit to making mindfulness a priority in our daily lives and foster a culture of taking care of ourselves and being compassionate to ourselves and each other. How do you practice mindfulness in daily life? Share your thoughts and tips in the comments below.

...See more Check In November 3rd to November 6th 2024 It is important to know why befriending our feelings that is everyday feelings, anxiety, depression, fear and grief. It is common to feel a bit anxious or scared before we do things it can be a presentation at work or a feeling of proud after winning something like a competition in school event.  We begin to feel our heart beat faster, being jittery where we can not sit or stand still these our emotions. Some emotions can make us upset a loss of a loved one or pet or child, loss of a job promotion. We hold ourselves to show the outer core of being okay when inside we are really not okay.  We try to find a path that help us move forward in expressing our feelings. It is how we ask for others to help us or we turn to Mindfulness to help us cope with feelings. Feelings simply mean we are alive and human beings not to be judged or criticized for how we feel.  Living life fully means having an open heart. We use all our senses: touch, smell, hear and taste. When feelings are noticed people will tend to become calmer.  examples: is it okay to feel this way?  it's not the end of the world we will get over it?  it's a feeling of being human Above is a primary of emotions. Which of these are you feeling right now? how can we make you feel calmer? how do you feel when your emotions are running wild? how do you calm yourself down. We need as a community to show love not only to ourselves but to others in the mindfulness community. We need to show support and not be afraid to ask for support.

Mindfulness and grounding skills

...See more Check In for October 28th to October 30th 2024 Grounding helps us control the symptoms by turning away from thoughts, worry and worries and keep us in the present state of mind. Has anyone heard of the 5,4,3,2,1 exercise? I honestly have not and will explain what it is and to also give an image to help better understand it.  This is a powerful exercise when we need it. A mindfulness exercise helps us to come out of things and to ground ourselves to be calmer.  The exercise is for us to:  * 5 things you can see * 4 things you can feel * 3 things you can hear * 2 things you can smell * 1 thing you can taste * These grounding exercises are both mentally and emotionally helping us for situations that make us uncomfortable.  The following image explains grounding better: Which of the examples above would you try? What is an exercise you use when needing to ground yourself back to the present time? @4551SP @adventurousBranch3786 @Admirablerainbow2825 @Agent22 @alexandralee @AllAboutThePeace11 @amiablePeace77@asherb281 @avistaco @CaringSub @CatHanderOutNoah  @communicativeJet616 @dapperBeach8823 @daydreammemories @DragonspanAnge @EchoOrAsh @etherealize @Falcon05 @fearlessMaple308 @FloraBelle @ForestZen @frankPark1546 @GentleHealingInitiative @Goldenfox2009 @greenScarf6235 @hardworkingBeechwood6063 @healingsoul4892 @iloveyouxx @indigoBeechwood597 @infiniteforever12 @InsightfulPhoenix @Invisibility101 @JarofSeeds627 @jaywalkk @Kickan75 @kindRiver6 @kivesh @Littlejoy11 @livinggadget @mytwistedsoul @nessapressure05 @NurseJose @NotAllHere713 @onwardforevenmore @pamharley003 @PeacefulBeach3454 @peacefulDovex @PopPunkPrincess17 @Rainboho @rebeccastgo @sincereGrapefruit83  @sky2Ocean20 @Snowy00 @spongbobishappy @sunshineBeauty5741 @Swordpsalm @tallZebra8032 @Tinywhisper11 @toughApricot223 @warmMemory6263 @VKlistening @yellowPineapple3652 @yzzil @Zeraphim

Attitude: being kind to ourselves and others, curious about our surroundings and not judging others as we would not want to be judged. The following are characteristics of mindfulness. Intention: the first step to mindfulness We set attentions to be in the presence. by setting an intention we are in the presence where we how we want to focus on experience. We want to be kind positive and write down on paper what we intend for ourselves. Once we have this written down we place attention to our breathing and how our body feels. detours and distractions: we try not to let things steer us away from our feelings and breathing. We stay on course to work around them to feel better.  Does mindfulness help you get through hard times? How do you allow yourself not to be stuck or to hit a bump in the road? @4551SP @adventurousBranch3786 @Admirablerainbow2825 @alexandralee @AllAboutThePeace11 @amiablePeace77 @avistaco @CaringSub @CatHanderOutNoah  @communicativeJet616 @dapperBeach8823 @daydreammemories @EchoOrAsh @etherealize @Falcon05 @FloraBelle @ForestZen @frankPark1546 @hardworkingBeechwood6063 @healingsoul4892 @iloveyouxx @infiniteforever12 @InsightfulPhoenix @JarofSeeds627 @jaywalkk @Kickan75 @kindRiver6 @kivesh @Littlejoy11 @livinggadget @mytwistedsoul @nessapressure05 @NurseJose @NotAllHere713 @onwardforevenmore @pamharley003 @PeacefulBeach3454 @peacefulDovex @PopPunkPrincess17 @Rainboho @rebeccastgo @sincereGrapefruit83  @sky2Ocean20 @Snowy00 @spongbobishappy @Swordpsalm @tallZebra8032 @Tinywhisper11  @warmMemory6263 @yellowPineapple3652 @yzzil @Zeraphim

...See more Every year on the second Friday of October—October 11 this year— the world celebrates World Egg Day, a moment to appreciate and honor this adaptable, reasonably priced and nutrient-dense food item that helps feed the world. More than fifteen different types of vitamins and minerals can be found in eggs. Egg whites are low in calories and cholesterol but high in protein. They can be eaten prepared in many ways! Share with us a healthy way you eat your eggs! I like to mix some egg white (eggs from free running chicken) with tofu and spices and stir fry!

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.

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!
