🌙 Day 21 of 90 -A Day of Rest, Recovery & Quiet Mindfulness

Posted byCinephileanuPosted inMind & MotivationTags:, , , , ,

Today looked very different from my usual routine.
My body was in pain, my energy was low, and I wasn’t feeling well at all. Instead of pushing myself, I chose something I’m still learning to give myself – rest.

🛏 Honouring My Body

I spent most of the day lying down, allowing my body to slow down and do what it needed.
No guilt.
No forcing.
Just rest.

Sometimes mindfulness is not about how much you do,
but how gently you treat yourself when you can’t do much at all.

📖 Nourishing My Mind Softly

Even though my body was tired, my mind wanted a little light:

  • I read some good thoughts
  • Listened to a mindfulness podcast
  • Revisited the teachings from The Power of Your Subconscious Mind

These small things shifted my inner energy, reminding me again that healing is not only physical – it’s mental, emotional, and spiritual.

💛 Today’s Realisation

Mindfulness is not a straight line.
Some days are full of routine, movement, and discipline.
Other days are quiet, still, and slow.

But both kinds of days matter.

Today taught me that:

  • It’s okay to pause
  • It’s okay to heal
  • It’s okay to do less
  • And it’s okay to simply be

The journey continues even on the days when you are resting.

🙏 Gratitude for Day 21

I am grateful for:

  • the ability to listen to my body
  • the wisdom in slowing down
  • the comfort of good words and gentle guidance
  • the soothing effect of mindful podcasts
  • the healing that happens in silence

Today may not have been active, but it was deeply mindful in its own way.

Day 21 was about acceptance, healing, and trusting that even rest is part of the journey.

Hi, I'm Anu! Originally from the beautiful hills of Uttarakhand (India), I now call Australia home. Moving countries wasn’t an easy journey – it came with its own set of challenges, goodbyes, and growing pains. But it also opened doors to new opportunities, friendships, and personal transformation. This blog is my little space to reflect, express, and share stories from everyday life — whether it's about adjusting to a new culture, lessons from motherhood, reflections on family back home, or just navigating this ever-changing world as a migrant woman. I believe growth happens when we step out of our comfort zones. And even though I miss my roots deeply, I’ve found joy in creating a new version of "home" here in Australia. When I’m not writing, I love relaxing with a coffee, diving into a good book, or enjoying moments with family and friends. ! Thanks for stopping by – I hope you find something here that resonates with you. Feel free to say hello or share your own story — I'd love to connect! 💛
