Week 2 mindfulness challenge
Observe how you are feeling as you practice these mindfulness techniques. Have you noticed anything different this past week? Keep a log, or journal, of how you feel every day this week and see if you detect any shifts.
Surprisingly, things were not so chaotic!
Personally, I have observed myself being more playful and patient this week as I practiced mindfulness during periods of the day that can be rather chaotic. Instead of feeling overwhelmed or getting impatient I noticed my thoughts and emotions (didn’t judge it) and chose to be present in a more productive and constructive manner. Surprisingly, things were not so chaotic!

I have expanded the Mindfulness Meditation to 8 minutes and increased the time interval between meditation bells to 2 minutes. You can continue using the short 4 minute Mindfulness Meditation as long as you desire. Once you feel ready to increase the duration and challenge yourself even more, try out this 8 minute meditation. Remember, no judgement. It’s all what feels right for you!
