I can’t believe that I was able to be mindful (or at least try daily,) for the entire month of my 30 Day Mindfulness Challenge! Being mindful is difficult. I knew this going in, but I sort of hoped that by the end of the month, it would be easier. So far, it really isn’t. […]

Wow. I can’t believe I’m on the last day of my 30 Day Mindfulness Challenge! At the beginning I thought it was going to be a really long month, but it really didn’t seem so long. I’ll leave it until tomorrow to go over my summary…but today, I decided to eat something mindfully. I absolutely […]

It’s amazing how many different mindful movements there are out there. Today I decided to try Tai Chi as part of my 30 Day Mindfulness Challenge.

Please, feel free to call me crazy. But let me go through my thought process, and maybe you won’t think I am. Yesterday was a completely blah day. I’m sure you know how it is. You don’t want to do any work. You know you have stuff to do, but you just can’t get the […]

While I love the idea of mindful movements and exercises, I’ll admit that after doing stretching and yoga, I had to start looking things up to remind myself of other things I could do as part of my 30 Day Mindfulness Challenge. One of the first things that came up with qigong. Qigong is a […]
