Mindfulness is a priority in your Daily Routine. If you feel you are forcing yourself into a technique, then go in a different direction. Find the daily Mindfulness Practices and techniques that work best for you. Lay-offs are temporary, but your physical, emotional and spiritual well-being is Life Long.

We all go through situations in life which are arduous, flustering and at time very challenging. Layoff can be one of these situation. Whenever we face a challenging situation the most crucial thing is to pause, reflect, and strategize on how best to navigate the situation. In times of challenge, mindfulness becomes invaluable. Incorporating practices like meditation, journaling, and self-reflection can provide much-needed solace and clarity during difficult times. These habits empower us to confront adversity with resilience and grace, fostering a sense of inner strength and balance amidst uncertainty.

When going through a rough patch, it is hard to remind ourselves to see the glass half-full but not impossible. Gratitude is a challenging exercise but a very powerful daily practice. They say "you can't be angry and grateful at the same time", I've often taken on gratitude challenges to get me onto the habit of it. Last December, a challenge I loved was to write a gratitude letter per day, for the holiday season. I also sent them, so it was a very wholesome month. When the new year started, I couldn't give it up! Including gratitude in my daily journaling practice helped. Or even starting the day with a morning gratitude meditation makes the whole difference!

Chewing your food until it has a paste-like texture makes it easier and smoother for the body to absorve nutrients and digest.

Wat ik geleerd heb en welke techniek goed voor mij werkt is de “O-stand”. Waarbij je bij alles wat je hoort innerlijk reageert met “oh”. En je telkens weer bedenkt “ik ontvang informatie”. Zonder dat ik nog wat hoef te doen met die informatie. Zoals er iets van te vinden of bij te voelen. Maar alleen puur ervaren dat ik nu iets weet over de ander. Ook als die informatie een oordeel van de ander over mij is. Of een mening die lijnrecht staat op mijn mening. “Oh. Dit is wat die ander denkt of vindt of voelt.” Ik mag het er mee eens zijn, of niet, of niet weten wat ik er van vindt, maar dat hoeft nog even niet meteen. Op die manier cre?er ik ruimte om in het nu te zijn. En om met mijn aandacht bij de ander te zijn (in plaats van bij mezelf).

The first step to being a good and mindful listener is to listen to yourself: your thoughts, feelings, and your body. When we are aware of our inner world, we can become more attuned to the outer world as well. During a layoff experience, carefully listening to your ex-employer and your support system can provide valuable feedback on how to set your next goals and move forward in life.

If you can, listen to the silence. It is the greatest communicator. If you find that you can do that, then become best friends with it. Why? Because it is always there, it never leaves you and it never ever changes.

Of course, when it comes to "Movement", the usual topics come to mind. Over the centuries, Spiritual Masters have said, "Every activity is a meditation". Literally anything. To emphasize my thought, I refer you to the Book "Practicing The Presence of God" by Brother Lawrence. He experienced God and serenity "washing the monastery dishes".

Move to feel better. Don’t wait to feel better to move. Movement really can help change mood, thought patterns and increase energy. Life forces are involved in movement.

When we begin gratitude journaling, we must remember that when we are we need to focus on the small things in our daily lives (a warm cup of coffee, listening to a cat purr, feeling the warmth of the sun). Many people struggle with gratitude journaling because they are only able to see the big moments-gratitude journaling is meant to incorporate both the big and the small moments in our daily lives.

To many people, it seems hard to think of things to be grateful for when you’re going through a rough patch. All the more reason to give gratitude journaling a shot. Once you do it for a couple of days, you will realise how easy it is to be grateful, how many things in your Life are actually working in your favour. Again, start small. Start by thinking of one thing you can be grateful for in the day; and take it from there. Your mind will know the rest.

I include gratitude in my daily journaling. Every morning or evening I focus on 3 things I am grateful for and write them down. This is in addition of any extra gratitude meditation or letter I might be including. Having a consistent framework helps, and if you have it in place before any challenging time like layoffs happens you'll have a strong base to tackle it even better.

Gratitude is a big one. Looking at things or situations and saying/thinking: "Thanks", is a way of showing the Creator that you value what he did for you and continues to do everyday.

Está prática me fez perceber o qual importante é focar nas coisas que temos e n?o naquelas que est?o faltando, além de me ajudar a reclamar menos e agradecer muito mais.

A recent National Public radio article stated "In 1959, 67% of Americans slept an average of 8.5 hours, and today it only 29% of the US population, with the majority surviving on less than 5 hours a night". Our world today bombards ALL of us with endless stimuli. Mindfulness demands that you make Self-Care one of your top priorities. Give yourself adequate rest, and time for contemplation, prayer, and meditation.

Sleep can have value but it doesn't give you peace or joy. Just pleasure, rest and comfort. (Regardless of the amount of hours spent doing it).

Notei que a prática associada ao descaso me tornou alguém muito mais disposta para gestar meus desafios diários, mais consciente, concentrada e atenta.

Don't wait for ***** to hit the fan before educating yourself on Mindfulness. It might seem inaccessible, that it isn't for you, or that your time could be put to better use. But don't neglect yourself. Being Mindful of who you are, how you feel, and how you are is powerful. It is the ultimate act to start nurturing self-love. It isn't easy to listen in. But with practice, everyone can do it. We spoke about gratitude in this article, one of the things I am the most grateful for, is that I have educated myself about mindfulness, and found ways to include these new systems to regulate my nervous system, so when things get tough, I have already the tools under my belt to face them.

A layoff can feel like the ground is falling out from under you. While routines and healthy habits are important, here's another way mindfulness can help: embrace the pause. This unexpected break can be a chance to step off the treadmill and reconnect with yourself. Use mindfulness practices like meditation or nature walks to process your emotions, identify your strengths, and gain clarity on what you truly want from your next career move. Think of it like hitting the reset button – this mindful pause allows you to approach your job search with renewed focus and a sense of purpose.

I have been through a layoff, and I wish I had done more mindfulness to get me through it. Take the time to meditate (or find a different mindfulness modality) and set aside time every day for it. If you stick with your routine every day for several weeks, you will start to see a difference!

Stop feeling guilty about it! Taking care of yourself should be holistic. No one feels guilty about having extra water on a hot day or brushing their teeth...why do we feel guilty about taking care of our mind? Self care should be normalized just like showering, brushing your teeth and drinking water every day.

During a layoff, practice mindfulness with exercises like: 3-Minute Breathing Space: Focus on feelings, breath, and body. Body Scan Meditation: Relax each body part. Mindful Walking: Pay attention to sensations and surroundings. Mindful Eating: Savor food's colors, smells, textures, and flavors. Breath Counting: Focus on breaths, inhaling and exhaling. Mantra Repetition: Repeat a positive phrase to calm your mind. Mindful Observation: Observe surroundings with curiosity.
