8-Times when I am not so mindful

Mindful Hypnosis

I have my moments when I am not mindful either.

I will share the least mindful times in my life.

Cheryl, when are you not mindful? Are there any areas in your life that you have a hard time being mindful of?

So I came across mindfulness a while ago, mostly because I wasn't a huge overthinker and I had some anxiety and I also just had this sense of feeling as though this it this this this everything, things just didn't seem right.

I remember one day, I had a memory of being around 16 or 17 walking down the street to my friend's house on a fall day.

It got me thinking about time and reflection about how life passes us by.

I felt very present that day and was really enjoying the beauty of the present moment.

Of course, being young, that didn't last long.

And even though I practice mindfulness, there are times when I'm not as mindful as I would like to be.

So the first is driving. If I'm driving down the street alone, and there's nobody around, I can be mindful, be present, you know, feel on the move of the car, feeling my hands on the steering wheel, really paying attention.

The second is around loud noises

I'm what you actually call an introvert, even though I am very outgoing and not shy at all anymore.

I've learned to get better at it to where I just embrace it and bring it into my experience, but I also find it gets a little overwhelming.

The third time I'm not that mindful-yes, oversharing. Is in the shower.

I used to just take the time to just pay attention to the water streaming down, feeling the warmth as I relaxed, but then I started to shift into where it becomes a place of creativity.

So those are situations where I'm not mindful, so here is when I find my mindfulness.

Most powerful to me is when I go for a walk and I'm in nature. I feel connected and grounded. I become very spacious.

It just soothes my soul and just calms me down.

I'm also mindful when I am able to be in a room full of people who I can just watch and ard listened to them.

Watch life happen in real-time.

So, before I go, when are you not so mindful. Let me know

Take a deep breath in and exhale.

So, before I go, listen closely and remember this ONE one thing.

Your future is a thought, your past has passed, but your now is always here.
Be mindful-one minute at a time.

Hugs Cheryl
