Inspirational Quotes

Mindfulness became a habit. I apply it and share it with all my people around me, showing them how being calm and patient can solve a lot of problems and keeps us away from conflicts. My friends and colleagues now ask me to teach them how I can be this kind of person who is always peaceful, and to be honest, in my free time, I gather them and listen with them to the videos that I receive from Mindfulness.com . It is really helpful, and effective.  

To live authentically, literally means to me that I have to be honest with my inner self before any boy else. Dealing with my surrounding in flexibility and just observing without judgement. 

I was bullied as a child to the point of hypnosis where I would look into the mirror and tell myself I couldn't measure up, and I didn't belong on this planet. I hated myself and repeated words others spoke to me when looking into a mirror.  As an adult, I finally had an epiphany, that all those words were worthless, dust in the wind, yet as I spoke them again and again, I was self hypnotizing. I also realized that the mirror does not define me, who I am.  Mirrors lie, they only show a rough idea of how we really look.  Now, instead of meditating on harsh words or actions, I choose to meditate on positive, constructive things. I am free to follow my passions, exercise my talents and help others. Like Gillian and Paige, I love water...especially in our pool, the weightlessness is bliss, like lifting all the weight of the world off of you for a time.  

I admire people who are kind and compassionate, and use their voice to help others and to uplift inspire those who struggle in life.   While my voice is not quite matured enough, I do have a kind heart, and I do desire to help others feel.

Day 6 - The Body Scan   Reflection Question: Q.) What information do you receive when checking in with your body?

Hi...I dont know what name to address you, "Braveheart..." I have never heard of a Personal Trainer having LCSW after his or her name, though anything is possible. Anyone who has LCSW= Licensed "Certified" Social Worker...hope that helps...in respect of other disciplines, I have met some qualified,  Ph.D. Therapists too (Doctor of Philosophy). Have a Great day, ~~~Rick~~~

Thank you all so much for your information on mental health. I'm definitely excited to explore all these options more in-depth. Do you guys think when getting a personal trainer who is also a LCSW a good idea? Are LCSW professionals certified? I'd love to hear your input on that. Thank you!

Day 5 Reflection Question: Q.) How did the practice of wishing others well impact your interactions?   I think that it makes me with a better mood and I was more inclined to be more empathetic with the people in my life.  Q.) Did it shift your mood in any way?  Did it impact the quality of your attention? Yes, my mood was amazing today. I think I was able to pay more attention to my younger brothers and people that I love.

Wonderful reflections! Thanks for sharing again. I have had a similar experience with nature, once coming to realize that prior to a few years ago, I never really played close attention to the signs of spring - to buds slowly forming on tree branches, to birds awakening.
