I’ve always described this blog primarily as a place for mindfulness. A space to explore thoughts and think deeper.
What I’ve realized lately is that my primary goal for this blog is to bare witness. To mindfully approach my days by observing, holding back harsh reaction, and allowing experiences to unfold without judgement.
And so, this week’s mantra asks us collectively to do just that. “I bare witness.”
I was looking back in my journal this weekend. Earlier this year I wrote:
“Broken. I don’t feel broken. More like not put together. Like there are pieces around me, and I know these pieces, I’ve studied them, I know where they want to go. Yet, I can’t seem to put them there.”
Happy Friday! My husband is in town so we’re looking forward to a weekend of fall outings and fun.
But first…It’s Friday digs.
The last month I’ve been in a bit of a haze—between stress, to-do lists, and too much future tripping, I let my soul-priorities go right out the window.
And you know what happened? Not that much. I still did everything I had to do. I still had accomplishments. I learned things. I got through my days.
Happy Friday! It’s been a good and busy week—can you guess? The weekend is filled with cooking and frisbee with the pup.
But first…it’s Friday Digs!
As mindful guys and gals we’ve done our inner work, at least some of it. We’ve looked at the parts of our personalities that could use more compassion or less fire and we’ve improved. One thing I’ve noticed about myself this past week is that when I get out of my daily routine those bad habits I’ve worked on in the past, like being overcritical of myself and others, can creep back up and try to take over my mind once again.
Happy Friday, all!
I’ve been in a bit of a food slump so this weekend will be filled with meal planning, a trip to the farmers market, and a lot of cooking.
But first.. it’s Friday Digs!
I’m actually not stupid. Or wrong. Or different from anyone else. But you know what? It’s taken me about 32 years to realize that.
