Thoughts & Musings
While we here at Bullionite love mindfulness and meditation, we know there is something of a trend for all of us that we came to this practice as an adult. Because we were already grown up with our own habits it can be quite challenging to try to shift our practices. This can be further exasperated when combined with some older ways of thinking that had fearful notions surrounding meditation as something “new age”. Breaking through these barriers can be a journey in…
Do you have problems falling asleep? Nearly 70 million adult Americans have reported having trouble falling asleep in 2019 alone. Chances are your sleep is affected by anxiety, overthinking or other stressors from your day. Even if you do not have an anxiety or depression disorder, these feelings can still at times overwhelm us and cause us to toss and turn all night. Of course…
While his routines and insights are incredibly inspiring, it can act just as an inspiration, not a rule book. But one thing really struck me while I was interviewing Mukarram, and that was on his small daily practices that, with time, grew into his practice he has today. It really made me see the path for someone that may feel nervous or overwhelmed bringing…
If you are new to meditation, you probably feel about it a lot like how Mukarram first felt about it, interested but lacking the understanding and discipline to try it. Where do you even start? Well today we are in luck, because Mukarram is going to walk us through his daily practice so you can be inspired by it and start your own practice! First things first though, if you…
If you have been following our blog here at Bullionite, you know that we are huge on mindfulness and meditation, as well as mental and breathing exercises to help bring ourselves to the present moment and in the right frame of mind. But why do we talk so much about these topics when we are supposed to be about trading? Well, for one the body is a full machine…
We are spending three days doing a thorough spring cleaning of the mind to help ourselves reset for the season. Each day we follow a brief, less than 10 minutes, exercise in the morning and evening. The goal of this 3 day program is to give you a hard reset into the renewal for spring. Of course the more you try to force something, the harder it is to happen so we highly encourage not to spend more than 10 minutes on each of these exercises. As your day and night progresses, your subconscious will continue to work on what…
While the first day we tackled our skeletons in the closet, both of our potential and our failures, today we are going to open ourselves up to the ability to receive and give love. Too often in our efforts to improve ourselves we start pushing ourselves down. Talking down to ourselves or simply allowing people around us who don't seek to build people up, but tear them down. It is important to remember we don't need to do anything special to…
In Spring the whole world feels refreshed. Even if you are one that does not follow nature, you may notice the new breeze, your hair growing faster or your dog suddenly losing hair like crazy, all the little signs of the shift in seasons. Everything is shedding the last shell of winter and getting ready to blossom for the coming season. With all this revitalization in the air, it is only fair…
None of us are perfect. We all have goals and ideals we would like to achieve, yet often we fall short. Sometimes we are able to shift ourselves so easily, while other times there are certain things that are just stuck. Why is it that sometimes we are able to do something like wake up earlier everyday but not another goal like increasing our leafy greens? There are many reasons…
What is Maskne? If you have been out and about wearing your mask throughout the year, you have probably noticed differences in your skin. Extra sweat and oil, or just general feelings of being dirty and yes maybe even acne. Acne? Maybe you haven't had acne since your teenage years, but here it is. What is happening? Well it feels obvious looking back on it, something is touching your face for large parts of the day that is filling with your sweat and breath. Your mask…
