Unlocking Well-Being: The Power Of Mindful Body Connection - Positive Reflection Of The Week

Embracing Preventive Healing Through Mindfulness – Article by Shahwana What we see, we embrace, what we don’t see, we tend to take it for granted… Sounds familiar? Until there is pain and discomfort, we tend not to pay attention to certain parts of us. After a long time, what happens? Some ailment takes birth. And we wonder what were the signs & how come I didn’t take notice of this. At times,…

Spencer’s daily routine is simple. He likes waking up early to shower and get dressed. Somehow, he always ends up looking like his grandmother picked out his outfit. He devours the morning paper he still gets delivered to the door while distractedly pouring himself cold coffee that he only half drinks with a mountain of sugar added in. Then, he rushes out the door, somehow almost being late to work despite waking up well before the sun. Before going in, he stops at the post office to mail his daily letter to his mother.

Work keeps him busy, whether he’s on the field or holed up in the bullpen doing paperwork all day. He makes frequent but brief trips to the break room to replenish his bottomless mug of coffee. Blacker than night and sweet enough to kill a diabetic. He often forgets to eat lunch when he’s too engrossed in a case.

He wraps up his tasks for the day well after it gets dark and even Hotch has left. He listens to the classical music station on his way home. Heats up a frozen dinner and eats it on the couch while watching a nature documentary to unwind. He then writes about his day to his mother, trying to skip over the gory details. He’ll mail it in the morning. Reading before bed is dangerous for him since it does the opposite of putting him to sleep. Once, he stayed up until the crack of dawn to read Dante’s Inferno from start to finish and formulate a lecture dissecting the Cantos for fun.

He’s overworked and under-rested, but he wouldn’t do any other job in the world.

Así que... te encontré por ese precioso dibujo de Tighnari tomando una siesta, luego comencé a navegar por tu blog, ¿y no puedo creer que realmente hayan más personas que disfrutan a Cyno y Tighnari de manera platónica ahí afuera? Para serte sincera, incluso evito las etiquetas de ellos, porque sé que el contenido me va a hacer sentir incómoda, y creo que si digo mucho, probablemente me van a destruir jajaja. Aaah~ esto es genial, muchas gracias, creo que estaré nutriéndome de todas tus publicaciones por un buen tiempo.

HI !! WOAH i am always so happy to know there is platonic Tighnari and Cyno enjoyer as well !! 🥹

We are together in this oomfie !

Crafting a Transformative Healthy Daily Routine: Your Path to Wellness

In the hustle and bustle of modern life, it's easy to neglect our well-being while tending to various responsibilities. But adopting a healthy daily routine can have a profound impact on our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Whether you're a student, a working professional, or someone seeking a more balanced life, here's a comprehensive guide to help you create a transformative healthy daily routine.

1. Rise and Shine with Intent: Morning Rituals The way you start your day sets the tone for the rest of it. Begin by waking up at a consistent time to regulate your body's internal clock. Engage in activities that promote mindfulness and positivity, such as meditation, deep breathing exercises, or journaling. Avoid immediately reaching for your phone or electronic devices to prevent a rush of information before you're mentally prepared.

2. Nourish Your Body: Balanced Breakfast Breakfast is often touted as the most important meal of the day, and for good reason. Fuel your body with a nutritious breakfast that includes a mix of complex carbohydrates, protein, and healthy fats. Opt for whole grains, fruits, yogurt, eggs, or smoothies to provide sustained energy throughout the morning.

3. Move and Groove: Physical Activity Incorporate exercise into your daily routine to boost your physical fitness and enhance your mood. Whether it's a brisk walk, a yoga session, or a full gym workout, find an activity you enjoy and make it a non-negotiable part of your day. Regular exercise improves cardiovascular health, increases metabolism, and releases endorphins, the "feel-good" hormones.

4. Structured Work (or Study) Time: Maintain Productivity For those with professional or academic commitments, structuring your work time is crucial. Break your day into focused work intervals, such as the Pomodoro technique (25 minutes of work followed by a 5-minute break). This approach enhances productivity while preventing burnout.

5. Mindful Consumption: Balanced Meals and Hydration Make conscious choices about what you eat and drink throughout the day. Consume a variety of nutrient-rich foods, including lean proteins, colorful vegetables, and healthy fats. Stay hydrated by drinking water regularly. Limit processed foods, sugary snacks, and excessive caffeine.

6. Mental Recharge: Short Breaks and Hobbies Intersperse your day with short breaks to relax your mind. Engage in hobbies you're passionate about, whether it's reading, playing a musical instrument, or practicing a craft. These moments of mental recharge enhance creativity and reduce stress.

7. Connect and Communicate: Social Interaction Human beings thrive on social connections. Dedicate time to interact with friends, family, or colleagues. Engaging in meaningful conversations or spending quality time with loved ones can uplift your spirits and provide emotional support.

8. Evening Wind-Down: Unplug and Relaxation As your day winds down, shift into relaxation mode. Limit screen time before bed to avoid the disruption of sleep-inducing hormones. Instead, read a book, take a warm bath, or practice gentle stretching. A calm evening routine sets the stage for a restful night's sleep.

9. Prioritize Sleep: Restorative Rest Sleep plays a pivotal role in overall health. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night. Create a sleep-conducive environment by keeping your bedroom dark, quiet, and at a comfortable temperature. Establish a consistent sleep schedule to regulate your body's internal clock.

10. Reflection and Gratitude: Nighttime Journaling End your day by reflecting on your accomplishments and expressing gratitude. Write down a few things you're thankful for and acknowledge the progress you've made, no matter how small. This positive practice sets the tone for the next day.

Incorporating these elements into your daily routine takes time and commitment, but the benefits are worth the effort. A healthy daily routine can improve your physical health, enhance your mental well-being, and contribute to a more balanced and fulfilling life. Remember, it's not about perfection, but rather about progress and consistency on your journey to wellness.

🪷 Being a middle child often comes with its own unique set of challenges. You're sandwiched between the overachieving firstborn and the pampered youngest, often feeling like you're in a constant battle for attention and validation. For me, this dynamic has been even more complicated by my suspicion that I might have ADHD—yet I remain undiagnosed.

The Middle Child Dilemma

🪷 Growing up as the middle child, I always felt like I was walking a tightrope. My older sibling was the trailblazer, the one who set the standards. My younger sibling, on the other hand, was the baby of the family, often receiving a level of attention and care that seemed to bypass me. In this mix, I found myself striving to be seen, to carve out my own identity amidst the noise.

The ADHD Mystery

🪷 From a young age, I noticed that my mind worked differently. I struggled to focus on tasks, my thoughts constantly racing from one thing to another. Simple assignments took me twice as long to complete, and I often found myself daydreaming during important moments. It wasn't until I started learning more about ADHD that I began to connect the dots.

ADHD, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, is a condition characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. For many, it goes undiagnosed for years, often misunderstood or mistaken for mere laziness or lack of discipline. I suspect that I might have ADHD, but I haven't been officially diagnosed yet. This uncertainty has been both a relief and a source of frustration.

Navigating Life with Undiagnosed ADHD

Living with undiagnosed ADHD feels like running a race with untied shoelaces. You're constantly tripping, trying to catch up, and struggling to understand why you're always a step behind. Here are some of the specific struggles I face:

1. Focus and Productivity: Completing tasks feels like an uphill battle. My mind wanders, making it difficult to stay on track with my goals, whether it's for school, work, or personal projects.

2. Emotional Regulation: ADHD can impact emotions, leading to heightened sensitivity and frustration. I often feel overwhelmed by emotions, swinging from highs to lows without warning.

3. Interpersonal Relationships: Maintaining relationships can be challenging. I sometimes interrupt others unintentionally or struggle to follow conversations, leading to misunderstandings.

4. Self-Esteem: Constantly feeling like I'm not living up to my potential has taken a toll on my self-esteem. I often compare myself to my siblings and peers, feeling inadequate in comparison.

5. Feeling Invalidated: When I tried to talk about ADHD with my friends, I felt laughed at and dismissed. Coming from foreign families, they often didn't understand or validate my feelings. This lack of support has made it even harder to navigate my struggles.

———————

Finding My Path

Despite these struggles, I'm determined to find my path. I've started to adopt strategies to manage my symptoms, even without a formal diagnosis. Here are some steps I'm taking:

1. Educating Myself: Understanding ADHD and its impact has been empowering. Knowledge is power, and the more I learn, the better equipped I am to manage my challenges.

2. Creating Structure: Implementing routines and organizational systems helps me stay on track. I use planners, to-do lists, and reminders to keep my tasks in order.

3. Seeking Support: Talking to friends, family, and even online communities has provided a sense of understanding and validation. I'm not alone in this journey, and connecting with others who share similar experiences has been comforting.

4. Mindfulness and Self-Care: Practicing mindfulness and self-care routines helps me manage stress and stay grounded. Techniques like meditation, deep breathing, and journaling have become essential tools in my toolkit.

———————

Looking Ahead

While the journey with undiagnosed ADHD is challenging, it's also a journey of self-discovery and growth. I'm learning to embrace my unique way of thinking and to find strength in my struggles. Being a middle child has taught me resilience, and navigating life with suspected ADHD is teaching me perseverance.

If you suspect you might have ADHD or are facing similar challenges, know that you're not alone. Seeking help, whether through professional diagnosis or self-education, is a vital step toward understanding and managing your unique brain. Together, we can navigate this journey, find our strengths, and thrive despite the obstacles.

With love,

Routines and Rituals

Though our routines are usually only jokingly referred to as "daily rituals", I see no reason we can't make the colloquialism a reality. Injecting a little magic into our consistent actions can bring a deeper connection to one's craft- and own body and lifestyle!- through mindful repetition... And possibly create other benefits through simple cause and effect... or via magical focus. Is this not using will to shape reality? ;)

Beverages and Hydration

Anything that can be safely imbibed orally can be considered a potion. Any tea? Potion. Apple Juice? Sure, it's a potion, too. A Sparkling Water Beverage? People before carbonation's invention wouldn't know what to call that but a potion of some sort. I almost tried to justify in my mind that water or juice couldn't be potions alone, but potion ingredients... But each ingredient generally does have its own property on its own, and can be used alone, can it not? Water seems, to me, to be the great carrier, and somewhat analogous to clear quartz in application.

Meals

"Breakfast is the most important meal of the day," as they say... especially if it's one of the ways you start off on a magically mindful foot.

Lunch is the mid day respite from- or peak of- our daily energy. A good energy for magical lunch is usually one of recooperation and regeneration. It may also be a time for socialization if you go to school or work, so creating communicative and relative energies may assist in comfortable interactions with others.

Snacks are little blessings to our bodies throughout the day, and can be celebrated as such with small ritual actions. From small mental notes to full gestures and prayer, quick acts of magic can boost the impact of your snacks and pick-me-ups

Dinner is (usually) the largest meal, and (usually) the time we re-center after a long day. Grounding to the home is important, and I can't think of anything better for that than a hearty meal. If living with others, this is a great time to reconnect with your housemate(s), partner(s), family member(s), pet(s) etc. Many connections have been formed around a dining table, and this has helped humanity share with and get to know each other for as long as it has been.

Dessert is a great magical option for celebration and for special occasions. It can also be a reward for oneself after accomplishing a goal, magical or otherwise. Perhaps it's an act of self care and self love, a treat to lift the spirit.

Self Care

Brushing our teeth and washing our faces are cleansing activities, I think we would all agree. Cleansing with a shower or a simple wash of the hands can be a magical action of its own when done mindfully. Hand sanitizers come in a wide variety of scents and varieties, and these can be used with common magical correspondences quickly, on the go... maybe even on a keychain or in a spray or foam form! Face washes come with different bases and organic/botanical additives, and in various strengths and applications. (Be mindful to care for your skin, and if anything feels or looks not okay, see a dermatologist.) Body washes, bubble baths, bath bombs, and more can be viewed through the lenses of correspondences, too... the applications and possibilities are endless!

Moisturizers and Lotions are great applications for spells as invisible sigils, while coming in a variety of bases and scents and sorts that can be viewed with correspondences. If you're cleansing your face, be sure to do something to moisturize it as well!

Perfumes or scented oils can be utilized magically via scent correspondences, and crystals or herbs can sometimes be inside the jar or bottle. Some are even roll-on, and can be used to draw sigils or choose specific points to apply to. Dab-on perfumes and oils and such can be used perfectly just as well.

Make up can be a perfect way to apply some variety of glamour spell, even if one does not do much. Color correspondences are great for this, and the same magical approach can be used when painting one's nails or dying one's hair. Especially effective with nails are mindful choices: shapes, sigils, patterns, accents, etc that mean something. Hair styling can also imply a lot, energetically, and impact us just as well; as a hair stylist myself, I have a lot I want to say on the subject... but this is not the time nor place. This post is already quite long.

Routine/Ritual

Anything you do regularly, big or small, can be made into a quick charm or spell with a bit of mindfulness. Walking a regular route daily can become a meditative experience with the right music and mindset... or perhaps a spell casting experience with the right incantation (internally or aloud) or charm. A regular drive can become a charging-up experience on your way to work or school with the right soundtrack and approach. Cleaning your room or taking out the trash is cleansing. You might wish to ground in the garden after dinner every night. You could do something less frequent, weekly visits to a nearby park to connect with nature... Something even less frequent, monthly outings with more purpose... Perhaps an annual big thing, if you like. The possibilities are endless.

The long and the short of it is: Anything can be made magical. Mindfulness can surround us with magic if we will it and live it. What do you already find yourself doing regularly? What don't do you do regularly that you should? Can a little magic help? If not, what blockages are you facing? It's okay to struggle, even when trying desperately to be mindful. The important thing is to start anew at every chance you can. The "I've blown it for the week/month" mindset that we(I?) get with planners or goal-work isn't an option; every day/moment is another chance to check in with ourselves, take a breath, forgive ourselves, and try again.

We all struggle, but I believe in you; thank you to anyone reading this who is still believing in me. I'm working every day to take a breath, do the same, and try again.

Love, Health, and Safety to Everyone!
