Hi All

Encouraged by JonW (thanks!!!) I have started my own mindfulness blog :D

It is very scary but think and feel it will be a useful tool for me. The link is: http://calmermindfulme.blogspot.co.uk/2 ... urney.html

I hope that you will feel comfortable enough to share your comments. If not please enjoy my journey I am sure I will.

P.S any bloggers and even non-bloggers amongst you who would care to let me have any feedback please PM me.

Good start Jenna. I'll keep checking for new updates :)
I find blogging a very useful outlet. Mine is mostly about music and health and anything else I fancy but I do have a dedicated mindfulness page.
It's also a way of virtually meeting new people.

Well done Jenna,

I can use one of the blogs as an EM blog if you want me too?

nicked from your blog!!
" I have also started to realise that my thinking doesn't help the way I react and feel. "
that's a big step forwards and one of the most important.
it'll all become clearer and easier with practice.

Hi Jenna, I really enjoyed your last blog post on reading 'the mindful way through depression' book, and wondered if you would be OK with me posting a link to your blog on our Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Everyday- ... 291?ref=hl

I think other people who don't read this forum yet would also find it helpful.

Let me know if this is OK with you?

A great post, indeed. It's an insteresting thing about mindfulness that it doesn't matter how long one has been doing it, anyone's heart-felt reflections on the practice are always valuable to people at any stage of the practice - it's probably the whole necessary 'beginner's mind' thing - the practice is essentially the same practice no matter the length of the practice.

This phrase particularly jumped out from your blog post Jenna: "my brain has simply developed pathways". If only more people could realise that instead of condemning themselves to a life of 'wrongness', instead of seeking to 'manage' their pathways so that they become healthier...
