THE MEETING THAT NEVER CLOSES
|
LET TODAY BE KINDER THAN YOUR KINDEST MOMENTS
|
 |
|
As I sit here being grateful that Bmindful is present for us, I am also acknowledging how grateful I am we are present for it, for ourselves & one another. On that note--WELCOME TO OUR 1ST HAPPINESS MEETING OF 2026!
|
|
|
Your voice, your rhythm, and your blend of strengths and soft spots are unique.
You are exactly what the world needs.
Step away from sweeping generalizations about the world and yourself.
Notice and name the specific good you see.
Everyoneâs uniqueness grows more beautiful with every moment.
Be yourselfâunapologetic and true.
Donât squeeze into someone elseâs shape; that only dims your brightest parts.
Choose authenticity for yourself, and allow others to inhabit theirs.
When we each shine, the world and all its parts shine more brightly.
Â
|
Honor your story.
|
Â
Create a newer narrative...
Â
|
Allow & create
your pace
& the small honest steps
you take each day
they make
you
irreplaceable!Â
|
Bright moments find me when I Â remember I Am the bright momentÂ
|
|
No one is you - thatâs your super power!

|
|

Â

We all travel different paths and handle things at our own pace though there are shared moments that connect us.
Â
This is a warm, upbeat space to share small wins,
ask for simple help,
and remind each other that progress  however slow  still counts.
Â
Post whatâs on your mind today: a step you took, a
question, or something youâre planning. Letâs cheer each
other on.

Reflection 3
Dear Wise Mind
Thank you
for reminding me
that there are 2 parts
inside me -
-the part that feels deeply (Emotion Mind) &
-the part that figures things out (Reasonable Mind)
Â
I'm believing right now when I ask you -
Wise MindâŚto assist me
in holding both
 neither one takes over.
What does my heart want ?
What does my head know?
Â
What does my heart want ?
My heart wants what I remember.Â
-the life that felt like the right backdropÂ
What does my head know? My head knows I can't have my old life back - bc of ______
, and it also knows ________
It also knows who I became -shaped by my experiences (the person I've always been) and and transformed by is still here today
Wise Mind Question:
1) what small kind action honors both my heart & mind right now?
Â
Say aloud :
Yes I feel _______________
& I will care for myself now.

Â
Iâm doing great -every small step is a win.
|
|
Today I choose ease and a little victory.
|
|
Bright moments find me when I Â remember I Am the bright momentÂ

Iâve got what it takes to handle this one step at a time.

This is a completely beautiful Happiness Meeting!
Yesssss! The first one of 2026!!

I'm so not holding back!
I apologize for my delay in returning to complete my post for this happiness meeting. Â
I love this meeting for several reasons.
This is pure self empowerment.
This is a very sophisticated offering in this meeting's platform.Â
There are so many possibilities, and so much freedom that I can see potential breakthroughs everywhere.
What's happening with me is Self awareness on multiple levels. It comes from self Love and empowered Self awareness.
What I've discovered has a direct relationship to what I am trying to accomplish.Â
In my new awareness, I have released unworkability and doubts and I re-claim my to do list. Instead of being overwhelmed, what I now see is how timely I can achieve each step, and I look forward to each step forward, and progress is my reward, and is this version, I allow mySelf to experience a positive feedback reward with each completion, and I can have multiple steps of completion each day.Â
 What I now experience is a new perception.
Where I used to be overwhelmed and intimidated, I now feel self empowerment and I feel the goodness of how my goals are all doable and I'm ramping up my speed of completion because there is nothing that overwhelms me and my fatigue has been replaced with desire.

reflection question 3 placed in introÂ
reflection question 1 below
Do you feel heard ... by you?Â
Yes.
Do I always ?Â
No.
What gets in the way of hearing what you need
or desire most?Â
I need to take pieces of things slowly âŚÂ
I process each piece with TLCÂ
I schedule hard decisions for my  clearest hour (morning, wee hours of morning or after rest):
I pick one time each day when I feel freshestÂ
I never go to sleep feeling like I lack a lot of clarity . I am so peaceful when clearÂ
(and only make important choices then⌠&/or build on them as I wake)Â
I protect my timeâno multitasking or interruptions.
I pair one small selfâcare with one practical task
(comfort + checkable step):
always combine a gentle treat
(affirmation, tea, rest, grounding) with a tiny chore (timers - 10âminute  or more -This balances heart and head and makes action feel kinder.
I use  apps/tools to offload comparisons and save energy: I put options into WhatsNext app , use timers, or a checklist so I donât decide from fatigue.
I let the app or a my own preset writing âď¸ Â or self care rule narrow choices for me
Â

Â
How do you work into your life doing the things that need your attention
when you feel you are at your limit?
Â
How do you create ways that inspire you to care
about doing what it takes when stressed?
Â
|
Grounding breath : "I am here .
I am safe.
This moment is temporary "-
and affirmations like:
|
|
how will I be kind to me
 ... w/what matters to me Â
alone?Â
GratitudeAppreciation Â
As I silently say
the words thank you
thank you,
it is as though the words are being spoken
through my heart.

Â
1 example of kindness to myself is my participation on Bmindful
⌠even w/this Happiness
MeetingâŚAnd if 1 person
can get something
to map onto âŚ
then the ripple of good -
effect has occurredÂ
BE YOU
âWe would accomplish many more things if we did not think of them as impossible.â â Vince Lombardi

Joy, Peace, Gratitude & Kindness
I am connected, even in quiet moments.
I will meet tomorrow one small step at a time.
Â
Â
When mind and heart move together,
clarity meets courage:
reason guides your choices while compassion fuels them,
so decisions are both wise and kind.
Balancing thought with feeling helps you see problems
fully, weigh consequences, and act in ways that honor your values
and the people around you.
That union makes actions more grounded
and more generous,
turning good intentions
into effective,
meaningful change.

1) NAME THE FEELING
2)ASK: WHAT DOES MY HEART WANT?Â
3) DECIDE 1 KIND ACTION THAT ALIGNS WITH BOTH HEAD & HEART?
4) CHECK IN AFTERWARD -HOW DO YOU FEEL?

back soon
Â
 Sleep inertiaÂ
heart wants clarityÂ
1 kind action - is to create
my morning protein drink đšÂ

In response to Ë a pleasure to have you visiting's post:
Thank you for your questions!Â
!. Do I feel heard by mySelf?
Yes I feel heard and I feel an awareness of perpetual empowerment. It's like waves on the top of the ocean. I see the waves, but there is depth below that I can see by swimming below the surface. Â
I see beauty in movement and I see movement is a key to all life.Â
What I now see is that I needed to learn how and WHY I needed to learn to release both people and events. And, I needed to recognize that MY perception matters immensely.
I see purpose now to times in my earlier life where I was frozen and unable to move past or let go of events and/or people. I also see that my skill set is much more adaptive, creative, responsive and cohesive. And I don't settle. I can be and I am completely determined. Unstoppable. More timely. More likely to take initiative and open new doors, build new connections, take responsibility for new commitments. Unapologetic for designating and prioritizing self care and re-defining and claiming optimal health. And, choosing peace.
Choosing peace and coming from peace is a massive necessity. Its deeply foundational, structural.
“Radical Acceptance is the ability to face hardships with greater love and deeper awareness.
Contemplation shapes radical acceptance as a way to choose love and peace over anger and despair.
Begin by finding this within ourselves before helping others.
Hold space for more answers to empowering questions!
Back asap. Out to buy more cat food for outdoor tigers...

Thank you
Life is about making excellent choices !
Â
I love the waves and the depth image. It reminds me that noticing surface emotions without rushing to fix them is a form of courage. Some people think courage must be loud or dramatic, but sometimes courage is simply a quiet decision.
Thank you for holding that spaciousness âŚit models meeting feeling with curiosity instead of judgment and allows a new flow.
There is a deeper place we are swimming toward while appreciating the moment weâre already wanting more of. Steady depth is where choices feel most true. Your confidence in tending to yourself unapologetically invites others to own their care too.
Â
For me I love giving the Wise Mind more and more attention. Itâs not something I just roll into. My Emotion Mind speaks clearly and my Reasonable Mind organizes solutions, though Wise Mind â the calm, integrated place that knows what I truly need ⌠is being allowed more wiggle room.
This matters because when Wise Mind is present, choices feel aligned, less reactive, and more sustainable. It's the difference between coping and moving with intention. So I pause â and ask, what does the Wise Mind want here?
I notice a feeling, a thought, a cue... I then let Wise Mind hold them together. I choose concrete, values-aligned action and commit to it. I then pay attention to the shift that comes from this particular tool of integration. This is what helps me build new habits. I notice my emotion, I notice my thought, and invite Wise Mind to guide my next clear step. Short, steady attention is how I'm moving from reacting to shaping my newer life.
Since my loss â losing my steadfast witness to my life on all levels â has created a yearning for what's missing... Though with tools like Wise  Mind - I can be true to myself & hear my heart  say what life should have not been reduced to
And my Wise Mind knows  when I do the wise thing - I can carry my heart and mind & not allow either to run the show completelyÂ
Â
