i love this reframe! i am also willing to bet cash money that what the gym does for you is probably neurologically extremely similar to what meditation does for some others! 💪 (putting you in your body, in the present moment, in some sort of flow state)

I love this point of view! It’s wise and empowering to stop trying to follow the path others prescribe and inquire instead into what works best for you.

Thank you so much Anna! I think so too.

I love this reframe for mindfulness! The same technique won't work for everyone. Have you tried watercolor? The sensory experience of it, especially on nice paper, is similar to the feeling of a great fountain pen ink. I especially like the granulating colors, because their outcome is unpredictable and interesting. Painting abstract shapes with watercolors is a big mindful activity for me. Walking meditation outside and bird watching also.
