MM 25 Reflection: 21 Day Mindfulness Challenge (Day 16-Enjoy a Mindful Afternoon)

Welcome to Day Two of the 21-Day Mindfulness Challenge. Please go back to Day One if you are just starting. **Please also see Mindfulness Meditation Five (Mindful Mind Meditation). ** What to expect? Mindful Afternoon Just as yesterday, you are going to be mindful in every task during a chunk of time. Pick the time you stopped the exercise yesterday as a beginning point. It may even be helpful to set an alarm for yourself so you do not forget. Also, pick an end time in the early evening (between 4-7 o’clock) to finish the exercise. Your mind will inevitably wander during this time, and when you notice it does, simply bring yourself back to the present. Be mindful during any relaxing, walking, eating, commuting, conversations, afternoon tasks, thoughts that arise, and anytime you experience emotions. You are equipped to be mindful in all these situations; it is simply time to put them together and practice. Notice if this time period is easier or harder than the morning. Often, we become tired in the afternoon, which may benefit or hinder our mindful attempt. You may also observe times that are challenging, such as after a meeting or during your evening commute. Be aware of what makes certain situations or times harder to remain mindful. It can provide invaluable insight into thinking patterns and sources of stress in your life.
