New 30 Day Facebook Project

Want to join me in a 30 day mindfulness meditation project?

Who it’s for.

- People who have never done mindfulness meditation before.

- People who have dabbled with mindfulness meditation but never had a regular practice.

You might like to join in if ANY of the following apply to you

- You’re prone to over-thinking

- You’re prone to anxiety

- You want to reduce your stress

- You’re scared or frustrated that your life seems to be passing in a blur

- You want to become more selective about which action impulses you follow (e.g. you’d like to spend less time clicking links on the internet)

- You use doing, doing, doing, as a way of distracting yourself from yourself

- You hold tension in your body

- You want to have more self acceptance

- You want to feel more relaxed and calm

- You miss out on opportunities to fully experience the current moment because you are mentally somewhere else

- You want to see things as they really are rather than seeing everything through the filter of your preexisting thoughts.

What’s the plan?

I’m committing to a personal goal of daily practice of mindfulness meditation for 30 days. You’re welcome to join me! If you only want to dabble rather than do daily practice then that’s completely cool.

I’ll post a daily update of what mindfulness meditation practice I did that day. If you feel like it, you can post a comment to report what you did for your practice.

Please note that for legal reasons I don’t offer advice on Facebook. But hopefully despite this limitation it will feel nice to know that you are going on your journey at the same time I am going on mine.

I’ve done quite a bit of mindfulness meditation before but have never had a daily practice so this is an experiment for me to see what impact daily mindfulness meditation has.

This is not a course on mindfulness.

You might want to try the practice and just see what effects it has for you, or you might get really into learning about mindfulness meditation and read up heaps, or anything between.

There is a massive amount of info about mindfulness meditation online, in both written and video/audio form, so I’m confident that whatever you want to know is out there for you to read/watch/listen to.

Tip: Prioritize doing the practice ahead of learning about doing the practice.

Tip: Just about any instructional materials about mindfulness meditation will tell you that you are likely to get lost in your thoughts a lot of the time and that this doesn’t mean you’re screwing up. This applies to YOU, not just everybody else.

To get started, all you’ll need is a timer e.g. on your cell phone. Or in a pinch you could even use free online stopwatch.

Here we go folks…
