So 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 […]

Continue readingToday was the 4th day of my 30 Day Mindfulness Challenge. It’s been the hardest day so far, as I woke up after getting only a few hours of sleep due to a cold. This afternoon I was feeling much better, but still put off doing the meditation. I finally did it just a few […]
Continue readingI just finished the 3rd day of the 30 Day Mindfulness Challenge that I’ve decided to do. This week I’m focusing on meditation, which is the first thing most people think of when they think of mindfulness.
