21 Best Blogs on Mindfulness, Living with Intent and Personal Growth (HEARTY!)

Sharing is caring!

Mindfulness and personal growth blogs with beautiful stories are my happy place🫶 whether I’m commuting to work or after a long day at work! After all, Isn’t it better to nourish our minds and enrich our lives with nutrients and growth rather than being overly stimulated with mindless scrolls on social media? 

This post is filled with good stuff, The Sunny Club doesn’t just cover the usual, big mindfulness blogs but also small, hearty, practical ones with personal touches that will surely strike a chord in your soul!! Get ready to be inspired, find your inner peace or just unwind with these gems:

First, what is a mindfulness blog?

Mindfulness is the practice of being present and fully engaged in the current moment, without judgment or distraction. It is not necessarily related to yoga. It involves paying attention to our thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations with a sense of curiosity and openness in our everyday life. The goal of mindfulness is to develop a greater awareness of our inner experience for clarity in what is truly serving us. Mindfulness blogs are filled with self-help articles on tips to enjoy the present moment and let go of the noise. 

What is living with intent?
Living with intent involves consciously choosing how we want to live our lives and aligning our actions with our values and goals. 

It involves listening to your heart🫶, finding your purpose, setting clear intentions for what you want to achieve, and taking deliberate steps to make those intentions a reality.

The two concepts can complement each other in powerful ways. Mindfulness can help us develop greater self-awareness and clarity about our values and goals, and observe what’s blocking us, which in turn can inform our choices and actions. Living with intent can help us stay focused and motivated on our goals. 

When the two combined, we have solid foundations for personal growth! Yay!
