Mindful Monday: Earplugs Edition

Mindful Monday is a tradition where we take a few minutes to reflect on the week gone by and the one ahead.

Feel free to join in the fun by commenting!

What Are You Grateful For Today?

• The Highly Sensitive Person’s Survival Guide: I think I got the idea to read this book from Havi’s blog. I knew I identified with being a sensitive person, but I was surprised to “ace” the quiz in the book. Anyways, the reason I’m so grateful for this book is that it’s giving me tips and tricks that I’ve known about or applied before, but have fallen out of use. It’s the little nudge I needed to get back into my healthy meditation / relaxation habits.
• Earplugs: One of the recommendations for highly sensitive people is to use earplugs to get true silence. I used to wear earplugs to sleep during college because I had some loud video game playing / partying neighbors. I thought I was done with earplugs but I think I’m going to give them another go and see how it improves my sleep.
• Developing Friendships: I’ve been meeting tons of fun new people here in Toronto. From Dave of rocking films, to Jamie who is hosting a dreamboard creation circle at the end of the month. And of course there’s Tara, Jennie, Yafa, and my geek girls! :)

What Are Your Intentions For the Coming Week?

• Slow morning ritual: One of the aha’s I got from reading The Highly Sensitive Person’s Survival Guide is that I was designing my morning ritual in a rushed way. Trying to get through the morning ritual so I can get to work already. This week I’m open to experiencing a slow, relaxed morning ritual.
• Allowing my creativity to flow: I’ve been working on some more artistic painting-like ideas for the site. This week I’m giving my computer the night off so I can focus on those in a gentle but open way.
• To share some awesome tips, ideas, and secrets on how to change your diet with a reluctant spouse or partner! The free call I’m doing with Annie Lin has the potential to change lives, or at least relationships. Sign up now!
