Just thought I would pop up to say hello. I am new to this forum and I am in the early stages of learning how to practise mindfulness in my daily life.
I first became aware of mindfulness last year and during a period of depression began meditating. I was astounded by how differently I felt - both physically and psychologically - after simply meditating and going out for mindful walks. Alas, I started back at work and did not make the time to practise mindfulness. I am hoping that by posting on here every now and then it will spur me on to make the time - after all, the way I see it is that a minute in a mindful mind is much longer than a minute in a distracted mind.
I thought it may help myself and others who may be on the first steps of this journey to hear from some of you who have been living mindfully for a while now about some of your early experiences? It would be interesting to hear about some of the challenges you encountered initially whilst beginning to practise mindfulness and how you got over them.
Look forward to speaking to you
