Mindful March
I came across to this really nice thing and feel that together we can practice these simple, sweet and really rewarding things this March.
For each day of month, there will be one simple, little thing to do. You can do them in your own convenience and share your experience with us in this thread e.g. you can share how you felt, what you encountered, share a pic if you like etc.
I will be posting the tasks for each week on the first day of that week throughout this Mindful March. (Source)
Week 1 (March 1- March 7)
Day 1: Start today by appreciating that you are alive and have a body.
Day 2: When someone is speaking, take a full breath before you reply.
Day 3: Stay fully present while drinking your cup of tea or coffee.
Day 4: Go nature spotting today. Even in a city, life is all around.
Day 5: Eat mindfully. Appreciate the taste, texture and smell of your food.
Day 6: Feel the cool of a breeze or the warmth of the sun on your face.
Day 7: Look around and spot 3 things you find unusual or pleasant.

@SunFern
What a great idea! I'm ready to start this March off right, and this is a great way. Thank you!
Very helpful tips which I will use to keep moving forward. Thank you.
@SunFern
What a wonderful idea is this!
I did some meditating today, and because of the subject of day one, I extended on something I did in a yoga class not that long ago. It was about appreciating your body and what it could do for you. What a wonderful gift it is.
What I realized today was that without my body, I couldn't even do the simplest things. How can I go outside if my legs don't work? How can I write, if my hands don't work? How can I speak, if my mouth doesn't work? There are so many people whose bodies aren't completely functional, and I am so grateful that mine is. That I can grab my bike, put some music on, and can bring myself wherever I please. My body helps me to be free. And That is sometihing to be treasured 
@JayTheBird14 awesome interepretation. thank you for joining and sharing such a lovely realization. having a healthy bidy is definitely a blessing in life. and i totally agree with you.
@JayTheBird14
You are very right and we are truly blessed to have fully working, functional and healthy bodies
@SunFern I love this idea! :) This is a great start for those who just began to practice mindfulness and a great review for those who already practice mindfulness! :)
@SaimaK thanks a lot. feel free to practice them and share your experience with us if you want.
@SunFern Thank you! :) I used all of the tips, but my absolute favorite was to look around at nature. Looking around at the mountains and/or forests while commuting made me feel really at peace and one with Earth lately. :)
@SaimaK
I love that too! I sometimes pay close attention to the way this cat purrs and it really helps me feel mindful and blessed by all of earth's creatures!
We are almost at the end of our first week of Mindfulness March ! 
How did it go for you? How did you feel?
Are you ready to continue this journey for the second week? If yes, then here comes our list of tasks for the coming week !

@SunFern
Feeling better then I was. We started neurofeedback up again yesterday and he thinks after 4 months I might be able to drive again.
@SunFern Mindfulness helps me not react to the inner struggles and the war of thoughts going on inside. Mindfulness is like going to an inner room that is insulated from sounds on the outside. It is like my secret tunnel to get away from this crazy world we live in.
Sunfern thanks for sharing all these daily sayings.
@SunFern
SunFern, thanks for this lovely post, I really like the animation, just shaking off some of the weight which pushes us down and then we can smile again. That is exactly what mindfulness does to me, it helps to reset my mind, calms me and makes me connect to my heart so that i can love myself and others. with love in mind everything becomes easier.
@amiablePeace77 I don't know what it is but you just reminded me of a piece of myself that I lost. Thank you for sharing. I want to love everything and everyone again.

@SunFern
I like these tasks and for sure will do them. Also I look forward to March 20 INTERNATIONAL DAY OF HAPPINESS, just the imagination that people all over the world come together and share happiness (just like on this site) makes my heart jump! Thanks for all the work you put into this post.
@SunFern
International Day of Happiness! Can't wait to celebrate that with the 7 Cups Community 
@SunFern thanks for following up on this! Great idea.
Great tips to move forward in life.
