TODAY'S LEARNING
Mindful Questions for Self-Reflection and Exploration

Mindfulness is a savior. Amidst the deafening chaos, it's a breath of fresh air and calm. Posing insightful questions is a kind of superpower. A few skillfully crafted words can dispel doubt, put a stop to a disagreement, and occasionally offer an entirely new viewpoint.

Asking a mindful question to a person who's under the weight of their running, twisting thoughts can give them the rescue that feels as relaxing and sweet as the cool wind on a beautiful mountain.

Benefits of Mindful Reflection

Reflecting mindfully enables us to,

  • Develop self-awareness so that we can see our feelings, ideas, and actions without passing judgment.

  • Become more adept in identifying and controlling our emotions.

  • By acquiring fresh insights and comprehending our stressors, we can lessen tension and encourage relaxation.

  • Clear thinking about our priorities helps us make better decisions that are in line with our objectives and beliefs.

  • Grow as a person by challenging our limiting beliefs and gaining new insights.

  • Increase empathy, compassion, and understanding of others to improve relationships.

  • Enhance our well-being and live a more intentional and purposeful life.

Here are the mindful questions:

What emotions am I experiencing?

What is it that I desire?

How do I feel about myself?

How do I feel about my life?

What is my opinion of my family relationships?

What is my opinion of my friendships with my friends?

How do I feel about my partner and our relationship?

What makes me feel incredibly happy and fulfilled?

Do my behaviors reflect my guiding principles?

What underlying fear is causing my worry right now?

Which recent choice most accurately expresses who I am at this moment?

Which events or occasions will mean the most to me when I look back on my life?

Which facets of who I am do I find it difficult to accept and value fully?

How can I be compassionate toward both myself and others when I see my own shortcomings reflected in them?

In the overall scheme of things, what matters most to me?

What would I say about the state of my relationship with myself, and what steps can I take to strengthen it?

How can I enjoy my life to the fullest if I only have a limited amount of time left?

What is it that this moment invites me to observe or recognize?

Do I continually live up to the ideals and beliefs I hold dear?

Where do I find the space to practice forgiving others or myself?

Earn Credit From J. Crew by Helping Them Recycle Your Old Swimwear–Keeping Clothes Out of Landfills

American swimwear and accessory brand J. Crew is offering free store credit to anyone who feels like taking the time to recycle their old bathing suits and bikinis.

Unlike cotton jeans, swimwear is often made of blends of different fabrics, both artificial and organic. While this makes them ideal for the sea, it essentially destines them for the landfill.

Looking to make the extra effort to cut out fashion waste from their supply chain, J. Crew has partnered with a recycling firm called SuperCircle to help gather up and properly dispose of old, ripped, or unwanted swimwear.
