@NikNik

I am struggling with the daily dose of mindfulness, as reality bites hard every day !!! the reality is bills need to be paid, work needs to be done, peoples expectations need to be met and I need to get into the mindfulness grove to grow as a individual to ensure my mental health does not end up killing me...its not always that simple when you have many hands in the air and need to be focused on one !

I see this “daily dose of mindfulness” as a core value to recovery, yes meds help when needed, but to “have a ???? peace I need to get across mindfulness that relates to daily life in all I do !!!

Hi @Matt12 my daily dose of mindfulness has been interestingly getting easier. I'm enjoying practising being mindful in the form of Mindful Eating and Mindful Walking.

Mindful Eating has been a whole new world for me! Sitting down at a table and eating a meal without engaging in any other activities - no newspaper, book, TV, radio, music, or talking. Eating my meal paying full attention to which piece of food you select to eat, how it looks, how it smells, how you cut the food, the muscles I use to raise it to my mouth, the texture and taste of the food as I chew it slowly. I'm amazed at how different the food tastes when eaten in this way and how filling a meal can be.

Mindful Walking Here I've used the same principle, while walking I concentrate on the feel of the ground under my feet and my breathing while walking. Observing what is around me as I walk, staying IN THE PRESENT. Letting my other thoughts go, looking at the sky, the view, the other walkers; feeling the wind, the temperature on my skin and enjoying the moment.

What are your mindfulness interests? 🙂

Mindfulness a state of mind that is manageable and usefull to copping with daily life, a skill that is extremly helpfull dealing with the head and not going up the bad road, so much work involved with this process and the benifits are endless with practice, from my end I need this to cope and will contuinue to develope in the "guru" I need to be, remember no speel cheak on this as I am dislistic and wont hid this on the forum..first for me

I find a daily dose of mindfulness, a daily challenge, in every way across all areas relating to this subject..it so deep and helpful to an individual and to a community small or large.

Hi @Matt12

Thank you for your input on mindfulness. I'm excited by what seems your enthusiasm for mindfulness.

How are you implementing your daily doses? I'm discovering the more I play with mindfulness the more I am drawn in by it 🙂

I hope you have a weekend with moments of peace 🙂
