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 […]

It’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.

It’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 […]

I 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 […]

I love when things just happen. On Thursday, we got new couches. Once I take a good picture, I’ll post about them. They have reclining seats, which is awesome. Now I can do work with my laptop while reclined! So I quickly realized that eventually I was going to need a lap desk. It wasn’t […]

I’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, […]

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 […]
