Sadly enough, this is something that many of us don’t do often enough, which is why I decided to do it for the last day of the 3rd week of my 30 Day Mindfulness Challenge. Mindful conversations. Sure, we all have many conversations each day, but how often are we doing something else while we […]
Continue readingIt’s hard to believe that we’re getting towards the end of the 3rd week of my 30 Day Mindfulness Challenge. I’ve noticed that towards the end of the week it’s always harder to find ways to be mindful! Today I tried being mindful doing something we all hate doing…cleaning. Pick any task, whether it’s doing […]
Continue readingIt’s been interesting coming up with things to do in a mindful way for my 30 Day Mindfulness Challenge. The first 4 were pretty easy. Eating, showing, driving, and going for walks are all things that we do on autopilot, and our minds are usually elsewhere. Now it’s a bit more difficult to come up […]
Continue readingI think this week has been the most interesting so far out of my 30 Day Mindfulness Challenge, although there is still 1 more week to go. It’s fun trying to do things you normally do every day on autopilot in a different way. When the weather is nice (like today), I love to go […]
Continue readingI’ve done a bunch of different things so far as part of my 30 Day Mindfulness Challenge, but I have to say that this one is the most fun. Mindful eating.

If you take a look at what I’ve done so far for my 30 Day Mindfulness Challenge, you’ll see that you can do many different things that can all have a similar effect. Today, I wanted to do something else that most people do every day, and […]
Continue readingI’m happy it’s the start of a new week, and a new type of mindfulness to try for the 30 Day Mindfulness Challenge! This week is all about doing different activities in a mindful way. In other words, paying attention your surroundings, and paying attention to what you’re actually doing. I’m sure just like me, […]
Continue readingI’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 […]
