I’m glad that tomorrow is a new week, and a new method in the 30 Day Mindfulness Challenge that I’m doing. It’s not that breathing is bad…breathing is obviously very good. 🙂 But I think it was a bit too unstructured for me, and I need a little something more. As of now I think […]
Continue readingI’m almost done with a week of breathing exercises as part of my 30 Day Mindfulness Challenge. I have to say that I really enjoyed the Headspace meditations, and am not so excited by the breathing exercises. Today I did the same one as I did yesterday. Take deep breathe in, breathe out, etc…while counting […]
Continue readingIt’s hard to believe it’s been almost two weeks of my 30 Day Mindfulness Challenge. I still think that the first week, doing guided meditations was easier for me. Today I decided to try a breathing exercise that is good for when you have a hard time letting go of thoughts. It’s similar to some […]
Continue readingSo I’ve been doing my 30 Day Mindfulness Challenge for 11 days now. I really enjoyed the meditations via Headspace…but as far as the breathing exercises, well, I don’t feel quite as mindful. It might be because they have no set time, so I haven’t been doing them for very long – only a few […]

After a week of meditations, I’m hoping to see if just doing breathing exercises each day can help as well. Each day I’m going to try a different breathing exercise…as there are so many different […]
Continue readingSo after doing 7 days of meditating for my 30 Day Mindfulness Challenge, I now want to spend the next week doing something else mindful. I did continue to meditate today though, using Headspace. It was my first one that was 15 minutes, and it felt long! In fact, there was one portion where it […]
Continue readingI can’t believe it’s been an entire week now since I started my 30 Day Mindfulness Challenge. That means I’ve now meditated using Headspace for 7 days in a row! What did I think? Well, today even though I still had a hard time being mindful, I did feel a little more relaxed by the […]
Continue readingI have now done the Headspace guided meditations for 6 days in a row as part of my 30 Day Mindfulness Challenge. I’ve never even done two days in a row…although not because I didn’t want to. For years I’ve been hearing and reading about how being mindful, and specifically meditating can really help you […]
Continue readingI’ve been meditating for 5 days in a row now, as part of the 30 Day Mindfulness Challenge. Each week I’m trying a new way to be mindful, and this week has been all about meditation.
