Reclaiming “basic” as intentional, human, and enough.

A personal practice of returning to the basics while
holding uncertainty and trusting what unfolds.

Hey all, welcome to my new and improved page, Mindfully Basic, a movement to challenge the negative connotation around the word "basic" by teaching you the importance of going back to the basics in order to navigate the life you want to live.

I believe mindfulness has the power to change the world and it all starts from within yourself.

When you go back to your basics and simply learn how to cultivate present-moment awareness, you can choose to detach yourself from the identification of your challenges and take control over how you want to live your life.

My mission with Mindfully Basic is to create a safe place for you to explore mindfulness and learn the tools to make you successful in navigating the ups and downs that life has to offer.

If you want to see a change in your life, you can’t just change your behavior. You have to change the thoughts and feelings you have towards yourself and others.

If you practice self-doubt, judgment, comparison, or jealousy - then it’ll grow stronger.

But if you practice more love, kindness, acceptance, and compassion - you’ll start to notice real change.

We are constantly growing, so make sure it’s in the direction you want to go.

This post was supposed to talk about how to create your perfect routine, but I find it hard to advise you to do that when I've fallen short on my routine, recently.⁣
⁣
After three months of 0 COVID cases here in Vietnam, things began to go back to “normal”. ⁣
⁣
The feelings of FOMO during lockdown had me making more of an effort to attend as much as possible. I overextended myself and quickly fell out of my routine. ⁣
⁣
Although a lot of new and exciting things were happening, something was missing.⁣
⁣
Here I am, in our second round of lockdown, realizing that what I was missing was once again, balance. ⁣
⁣
It’s quite easy to fall out of balance and overindulge in things that seem “good” for us, but it's an opportunity for us to question ourselves and understand what we are trying to hide from. ⁣
⁣
Now I’m using this time to get back on track with my routine and reflect on this lesson that keeps presenting itself.

“If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always gotten”
This is true in all aspects of life and until you break the cycle these same lessons will keep showing up in your life.

This is a quote I have to repeat to myself often.⁣
⁣
So let me say it again.⁣
⁣
“Comparison is the THIEF of happiness.”⁣
⁣
I never thought my life would turn out like this. In fact, I envisioned it very differently.⁣
⁣
Even though I’m proud of myself, I’d be lying if I didn’t say I often compare myself to others. It makes me question if I’m making the right choices in my life.⁣
⁣
I’ve noticed it’s in these times of mindlessly scrolling on social media that bring me down the most.⁣
⁣
But when I’m in the moment of things and I'm just exploring and experiencing new cultures and perspectives, I truly feel alive.⁣
⁣
What gets you out of your head and makes you feel alive?

I’ve been having fun creating these yoga flows but it hasn’t always been this easy.

I remember a time where I would only do the same asanas (or postures) every practice. I would practice that same sequence daily until I felt comfortable, then I would add tiny little tweaks here and there.

Day to day you wouldn't be able to notice many differences in my practice, but it was the consistency that got me where I am today, creating that constant flow state.

How are you being consistent in your life?

Being a perfectionist has made me realize my tendency to never feel like I am enough.⁣
⁣
If I don’t meet the high standards I set for myself or the expectations I feel like others have for me, I have a bad habit to quit before I even start. ⁣
⁣
Sometimes this looks like me just completely shutting down and disconnecting myself from whatever feelings I have. Or sometimes this plays out in my procrastination. ⁣
⁣
I’d rather shut those feelings out than bare the pain of failure and rejection. ⁣
⁣
Now that I have awareness of this, it’s the first step to understanding and changing these habits.⁣
⁣
And when I catch myself falling back into that old habit, I gently remind myself that I am enough.⁣
⁣
Are you aware of the thoughts and habits you have that tell you that you’re not enough?
