Mindful Actions By Beth

We're forgetting about setting goals this season and instead focusing on living a life full of promise and potential through setting intentions. Intentions help guide us through life so we can live out our dreams. But we first have to figure out what our dreams are. This episode and meditation focus on the mantra "So Hum" which means "I am" so you can open your mind and your heart and confidently choose the next step you want to take in life. 

--------------------------

WEEKLY MANTRA: So hum / I am

MINDFUL ACTION: Choose the words you want to represent you this year.

Is the constant pull between new and old relationships with family and friends extra stressful during the holiday’s? How about the memory and guilt of old traditions vs creating new traditions? Let’s chat about this from a mindfulness perspective and meditate on it to help us get through this holiday season.

Raise your hand if you're bored with writing down the 3 things you're grateful for every single morning. Just like anything in life, if you let it become a habit you do on autopilot, it will get boring and you'll be more likely to drop the habit and move on to something else. But I'm not going to let that happen, because practicing gratitude and meditation can still be really fun and exciting! Try out the tips from this episode and let's spice up your mindfulness routine! 

MINDFUL ACTION: Be more creative with your gratitude list!

WEEKLY MANTRA: I open my heart and invite gratitude into my life.

We're having a nice, lighthearted conversation this week. Let's sit down and have a friendly chat. We're going to start off with us just pretending we're having coffee and catching up. Use this time to help you identify what you need the most in relationships, what you might be missing, and how you respond to others. Mindfulness helps with self discovery and self love. Improving your relationships starts within. Once you better understand your needs, you can work on communicating them to friends, family, and colleagues. 

MINDFUL ACTION: Notice how you respond when someone says hey, how are you doing? 

MANTRA: I will do more of what works for me, and less of what doesn't work for me.

Self love, self confidence, self esteem, and self acceptance. Call it whatever you want, but the most asked question about this is how do we get more of it? This week we talk about a strategy you can use to help identify where the self doubt comes from, and how you can switch your perspective around into self love for growth. 

MINDFUL ACTION: Practice the backtracking strategy to identify the reason why you're feeling down about yourself when it happens.

WEEKLY MANTRA: I cannot change the past, but I can change the direction I'm going.

There are no guarantees in life. So, let's talk about how to show up for your life by combining hard work and manifestation to reach your goals and your dreams. The best outlook on life comes from both of these. You won't live a happy life if you only rely on hard work, or if you only rely on manifestation/prayer. Both play a huge part in happiness and quality of life.

Mindfulness and meditation teachers often say the phrase “your feelings are valid”. But what does that actually mean? We’re going to break it down and learn how to apply this concept to our everyday lives and interpret the emotional regulation of the ups and downs that we experience. The mindfulness quote I mentioned in the meditation is from mindful.org.

We all procrastinate on some things in life. Whether it's more task-oriented or self care-oriented. Mindfulness can help with that! Focusing on being present and knowing what would be most beneficial in this moment will help you understand your intentions behind procrastination. Let's practice intentional procrastination this week and work on being more productive.
