Mindfulness Daily Check-In February 19, 2018

soulsings February 19th, 2018

I would like to propose an unusual change in the naming of the days of the week. When working people think of Monday it is often thought of as the start of the drudgery. This is a sad state of affairs. Rather than maintaining this tradition, I propose breaking away and calling Monday a new name:

Joyday

Reason for change: There is so much to be joyful for. We have a new opportunity to practice being aware of what is happening. No more drudgery doing the same thing over and over again, we live mindfully and every moment can be fresh and new. Rather than seeing ourselves doing the same thing over and over again, we see ourselves as becoming more adept in shifting our awareness to neutral or positive things instead of negative things.

Question: What can you find to be joyful about on this brand new day: Joyday?

Heyyyy Everyone :) I love this idea! Joyday and Heartfulness <3 <3 <3

Mondays to me represent a new start to the week, a bit like first thing every morning there is a feeling of a new day <3

So, some beautifully scented fresh flowers, breathe in deep the gorgeous fragrance and start being heartful!

Yesssss! I missed that you are absolutely right! I bet @SoulSings didn't realise that either?

soulsings OP February 19th, 2018

@wingedtrish yes that can be just what I need is a day off.

@soulsings

Joyday, what an absolute wonderful idea of yours! It isn't even that changing the name will change anything about the day itself, but it just helps you to focuss on the positive instead of the negative connotation that Monday has, as you said.

What I'm always joyful about on Monday is that I get to see my friends in college again. I only got lectures on Monday and Wednesday, so when Monday- erm, Joyday comes around again, I haven't seen them for a couple of days already! We always have fun though, and we have lots to talk about on what happened in the Weekend laugh

@JayTheBird14 for me it is remapping the week so mon-day is now Joyday. Works for me. Thanks for posting

Soooo what is Tuesday? Toyday? Tuneday? Teenday?

Maybe Tunesday? We all need to sing a tune?

soulsings OP February 21st, 2018

@MistyMagic I am not in charge of renaming Tuesday! LOL

Here are my suggestions. Trueday where I only say things that are true and still be compassionate and complimentary.

Twoday where I name all the opposites of what I see creating pairs of twos [cold and hot, light and dark, fervent and barren]

Tooday where I reinterpret everything I am thinking. "I am so bad at doing this." reply "I better I could get better at this too."

Oh am I being silly or what?

Today was a nice day to take a fast pace walk for exercise and watch the cloud formations in the sky when walking. smiley

@soulsings I think we can do even better than  calling Monday joyday. How about a day for smiles.
