Mindfulness Mob - group Smiling Mind sesh
Yo everyone!
A few months ago, @Ben-RO and @j95 started up a thread where we could get together to do some mindfulness exercises together and chat about how it went. The thread was: Letting The Negative Self Talk Go
I found it really helpful and wanted to see if anyone's interested in starting back up.
What happens:
- Download the Smiling Mind app or go to the Smiling Mind website and sign up.
- Organise a time to meet up in this thread!
- At the chosen time, come here and have a quick chat about how everyone's feeling before trying a meditation.
- Choose one of the Smiling Mind meditation exercises to do.
- Do the meditation!
- After it's done, come back to the thread and have a quick chat about how you feel now, if there were any good bits, weird bits, general stuff you discovered during the meditation.
What we need to do first:
- Pick a regular day/time to run it! The previous one was every weekday at 5:30pm AEDT (Eastern Daylight Savings Time), but we can pick something else or maybe multiple options depending on what suits everyone now.
So who's up for it and when are you available? 
@FootyFan26 @letitgo @Stealth_ninja @Birdeye @N1ghtW1ng (because you either responded to or high fived my post in the bob section 
)
No worries @N1ghtW1ng, we'll see you for the next one you can make it to 🙂
Before I started I was feeling pretty irritable. I kept getting distracted by some loud traffic noises somewhere outside. I think it actually helped right towards the end when I was focusing more on feeling my body on the chair and stuff, rather than trying to focus on breathing.
I just did it though and I feel more relaxed and ready for bed now 😛
(I'll have to set a reminder 😛 )
Ok free session today 😛 Pick your own and do it in your own time 😉
I'm doing Adult - 102 "Mindful Eating" because I want to eat this cupcake.
Feeling before: what I've decided to term "isolated mode"
Edit:
Feeling after: impatient about my cupcake 😛 I guess it was interesting to try, but I think I need more practice at it to be more patient about it.
I had lots of thoughts about things that happened/are happening/will happen 😛
Hey @j95 glad you made it! 🙂
Thanks for joining in everyone! 😄 I hope the rest of your evening goes well 🙂
Maybe see you at the Infobus later tonight! 🙂
@N1ghtW1ng what TV show was it? I need a new addiction.
Also well done on the mindfulness RO legends!
