August 24, 2020 - Mindful Monday presented by Chris Masiello, President and CEO of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate. This week's topic - "Synchronicities and Impactful Daily Activities"

Tips from today's Mindful Monday:

Examples of synchronicity

• Overhearing a couple of strangers talk about something that is of great significance to your own life
• One example of synchronicity is hearing the same name over and over again (in books, on TV, on number plates, in dreams) and later discovering that the name is a suburb where you finally find your dream home
• Getting the exact message you need the most at the exact right time (e.g. if you’re going through a divorce, depression, betrayal, major life change, etc.)
• Meeting the exact right person at the exact right time (e.g. a partner, friend, teacher, etc.)
• Seeing the same symbols or images repeated everywhere (e.g. in a magazine, on commercials, on buildings, on tattoos)
• Glancing at the clock the same time of day for many days on end (and seeing 11:11, 14:14, 23:23, 222, etc.)
• Hearing the same song on repeated many times in unusual circumstances
• Strange alignment of birth dates between friends, partners, etc.
