It's Ok To Feel This (10% Happier Self Care Journey) Day 4

"It's Ok To Feel This" 12/7/19 10% Happier Self Care Journey - Day 4 Notes ° Recognition isn't mindfulness. We can recognize something and still be averse to it. ° Mindfulness: a mental state achieved by focusing one's awareness on  the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one's  feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations, used as a therapeutic  technique. ° Saying "It's ok to feel this" allows us to balance  the recognition with a genuine acceptance of what we're feeling or what  is there. ° When meditating and using the words "In/Out" while  breathing use mouth shapes that naturally mimic these words like in  Pranayamic breathing exercises.
