35+ Community Check-in May 10-14, 2021
Hi lovely people in the 35+ community, I hope you had a great weekend 
Relax your Mind
1. Set a timer for 5 minutes.
2. Write down everything what you're feeling overwhelmed about. Example "I feel panicky because ..."
The goal of this practise is not to solve your problems, but to explore them. Writing downs what's on your mind can be relieving.
Come back here and share with us how you felt before and after the exercise

@amiablePeace77 Hi. While writing these down, I was feeling overwhelmed both by the number of them and remembering the reasons why I'm upset by them. But now a couple minutes later I feel calmer. Maybe from getting them off my mind and onto paper? I still feel a little emotional but maybe like they're more manageable.
@shellofashell
Nice to hear that at the end the exercise made you feel calmer. I believe when we write them down we create more space in our brains, waste less energy on holding them "alive".
Thank you 🎩
@lionsaether
Great to see you here and you're very welcome.
Before I started writing I felt like there was a lot of thing overwhelming me. It is one of the things I struggle with most. After taking the time to think about them and write them down, I felt better. Seeing them down on paper it feels like there are less than I thought. It seems more manageable.
@NikkiCar
Nice NikkiCar, I hope this exercise will also help you in future!
Hi Guys! How are you doing today? :)
Great! How about you?
I’m excited to be here and learn from all of you!
@EternalOcean4384
Nice to have you in the 7cups team
Hi Dear Friends of 7Cups, I have been struggling for many years with depression and generalized anxiety. So sometimes I feel things very overwhelming and sometimes I don’t. Now, as the world economy is very hard, I am trying to do my best to keep a good job and then continue to do other side jobs and business, because I need the money to sustain my family back home. So is very hard.
@eoliva
Sorry to hear that your present life situation is so challenging, hugs. It must be hard to just get through the day at times. I hope coming here will give you some relief and help to find ways to cope.
I realized I don't feel great and am happy to be getting closer to my goal of being more social and proactive in completing my goals.
I write in my journal daily. Brain dumps are so helpful to curb unhealthy behaviors and to loosen up anxieties. I am adding more movement to my life to combat brain fog and pain. Meditation is a god-send. Thanks all!
@admirableRose261
That sounds very helpful, keep up the good work!
I’m not sure on how to make friends on here but I would love to talk to people that have a understanding in relationships
