Just like everyone else, I like the idea of making some extra money each day. I feel that I need to be responsible with the money I earn with what I do for a living. But when I earn some extra money on the side, I feel that I can buy whatever I want, and […]

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 […]

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. Pick any task, whether it’s doing […]

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 […]
