Start Practicing Mindfulness

Any good resources for practicing mindfulness?

Sam Harris' Waking Up app. Over time, with practice however, we can use anything as a focus point for mindfulness.

As suggested by JB1020 is good if you need an app. And Insight Timer. But mindfulness is different than meditation. I suggest looking into Thich Nhat Hanh’s works because he explains practicing mindfulness very well.

This has been such a challenge for me so it gives me hope, hearing how long it took you. Not because I’m glad it took you a long time but because I have had such a miserable time with it for several months now and have started to feel like it’s just not going to happen for me. I’m so happy to hear that you’re doing well and I look forward to joining you in that space 😌

It takes everyone a long time as it’s a long journey to see mindfulness in full effect. It takes decades for Buddhist monks and nuns to be where are for a reason. It’s a constant, lifelong task to take on. But it’s absolutely worth it.

I try to stay in the moment when I’m suffering but then my mind goes “well in this moment you could hurt someone.” And then I feel scared again. 😭

Keep practicing 🥰 let the thoughts, images, and feelings be there as you compassionaly bring yourself to the present.

@Nica Okay. Thank you as always!
