MM 7 Reflection: 21 Day Mindfulness Challenge (Day Two-Mindful Relaxing)

Welcome to Day Two of 21-Day Mindfulness Challenge. Please go back to Day One if you are just starting. **Please also see Mindfulness Meditation One (Full Body Scan). ** What to expect today? Today, set aside some time to mindfully relax. Instead of sitting down and looking at your phone, browsing the internet, or turning on the TV, dedicate at least the first 10 minutes to sitting still. Apply what you learned during your meditations but this time in an aware, non-meditative state. This is your time to enjoy your relaxation instead of trying to distract your mind. Feel the sensations in your body. Is anything tense or sore? Does any part feel especially relaxed? Listen to the sounds and observe the sights. Any thoughts that come to your mind, let them peacefully float out. Remind yourself that this time is for relaxing and anything that you need to think about or handle can be done at a later time. Practice this every time you plan to “take a break” and relax today. If you have an opportunity to go outside, enjoy all the sights and sounds of nature. If you have time to watch your children play, savor every moment without allowing yourself to become preoccupied with something else. You will find that this type of relaxation calms your mind rather than distracting it.
