50+ Check In January 19 - 21, 2024 - Re adjustment in January ✨✨✨✨
Happy Friday 50+ Cupsers!! ✨✨✨✨✨✨
January is well underway! Often in January we are so focused on starting on a good foot but sometimes life gets in the way. Mistakes and mis steps often occur and no matter what has occurred YOU can always re adjust and move forward with a new strategy.
Your power is right where you are NOW. YOU are worthy of so much. Better days are ahead. What other people do or say are not your problem. You can ONLY control yourself … how you think, say and do.
How has your January been to date??
Do you need to re adjust? How so?
What are your goals for 2024 to live better life?

Trigger warning ⚠️
hi sunny ❤how are you feeling now?
My january as pretty much sucked so far. My bunnys gut stopped working after getting neutered, and he didn't make it😞 two people I know ended their lives😞 and I'm now on my second course of antibiotics and steroids for chest infection and flu. My spine is broken, so when I cough it hurts so bad😞 ok that's my moan for the day. Now let's leave it with a happy smile😁
@Tinywhisper11 um sunny to you have the ability to put a tw on the message I just wrote. Oopsie! I forgot😕
@Tinywhisper11
got you covered 🙌🙌💕💕🙌💕🙌💕
@SunShineAlwaysGrateful thankyou ❤❤
@Tinywhisper11
So sorry 🤗 for your loss condolences to you. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I am sending you many hugs today …. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

@SunShineAlwaysGrateful hugggggs back ❤
@Tinywhisper11
Overall I feel well just exhausted. But I know with time that will improve ……it is taking time for sure. Slow and steady …
@SunShineAlwaysGrateful I'm not surprised your exhausted, you have been ill for almost 2months? And all the meds, it's a huge shock for your body. Keep warm and rest lots and don't forget this 🍦🍦 it's not often I share icecream, but you deserve it😁❤
@SunShineAlwaysGrateful my ptsd n chronic depression have been worst this year my goal is work towards healing from it n get a better life
That is a great goal. Your work around 7cups is incredible. You bring so much value to the forums. You help heal others. That is a gift. 🎁
@SunShineAlwaysGrateful
How has your January been to date??
On a scale of 1 to 10, I'm looking at a 5. Not great, but also not terrible. Highs and lows.
Do you need to re adjust? How so?
I am constantly readjusting. :) Constantly learning how to shift on the better path when I veer off on a bad one.
What are your goals for 2024 to live better life?
Focus on my happiness. Let go of the need to control everything that is not mine to control. Take some vacations!
yes life has highs & lows. Readjustment IS the 🔑 key to happiness. Mel Robbins has incredible podcast on happiness … you need both parts FUN & FUNCTION in life too much of either is not good.
Control is something that pertains to you alone how you act, what you think and what you do… I love your goals this year. You got this!!
@SunShineAlwaysGrateful
Hi, Grateful,
How has your January been to date?? Hellish
Do you need to re adjust? How so? I am trying to take deep breaths and do what I need to do to get past a few bumps that are left.
What are your goals for 2024 to live better life? I want to keep up meditation and working out.
Meditation and more movement are fantastic things to add in 2024z
Soo sorry January has been a struggle. 🤗 Hope it is all behind you now.
Better things ahead and this month will end better than it started….
@purpleTree4652 I didn't know you work out. That's great! Been trying to get into some kind of fitness routine myself but chronic conditions make it difficult, you know...
@slowdecline48
Maybe start with a ridiculously small amount of activity and add one repetition or add one minute every other day. I only work out every other day because I use ankle weights. Back when I started working out, in the last ice age, they instructed people to work out every other day if they used weights. I don't know if that is still what they tell people, but that is what I have stuck to. It helps to sneak up on working out. ;)
How has your January been to date??
It has not gone well. I don't feel wanted anywhere, especially at the community center where I attend peer-to-peer support groups.
Do you need to re adjust? How so?
I don't know.
What are your goals for 2024 to live better life?
Just keep working on my recovery
@WharfRat
Hi, Rat,
I'm sorry you're going through that. But, we want you here. You've got the right attitude by thinking all you can do is work on your recovery. Sometimes people go through moods and it's probably them and not you. And, maybe just by sticking to your recovery, you'll come to a new understanding of something...I don't know what, but something to help you get past what you're experiencing now.
God bless you, no matter who or what your God is.
--tree
You are definitely 💯 percent right to continue to work on your recovery.
So sorry you don’t feel you belong at the community center . You DO belong as you are part of the community …. Don’t isolate yourself. You are worthy of being a part of the community center. It has been a big part of your life.
We all love having you here at 7cups. You are definitely a part of the 7cups community.
@SunShineAlwaysGrateful So far January hasn't been all that bad... As always in this time of year, I live on decongestants & OTC allergy/cold products to get through it. Gonna be that way through the end of March at least.
Late last year I turned 48...am getting old. I'm not taking it well, not at all. I hate & fear everything about aging, honestly. Posted about that in another thread last year. I don't think I will ever be reconciled to it. I will never age gracefully....gonna fight it all the godd*** way. But there's more than one way to resist entropy, of course.
Your point about changing one's strategy is a fine one. As with any endeavor, have a plan but don't get married to your plan. An example: One time there were two computer manufacturers, Wang & IBM. They were competitors. Both firms made mainframe computers. Seeing how things were changing, IBM started making personal computers & then switched to that. Wang stuck with making mainframes & remote terminals they would be connected to in workplaces...Wang stuck to that for several years after IBM changed its strategy. This is why IBM is still around today, & Wang is not.
@slowdecline48
So glad to hear January has been okay. You must live somewhere warm for allergies in winter.
You are a spring chicken lol 😂 48 is a great year. You have many years ahead of you. I enjoyed my life more when I turned 50. I am 57 and enjoy every year I attain as many are denied the privilege …
Change is a good thing. It adds variety and joy to your life. You always have the choice if it doesn’t work out to change again. The possibilities are endless.
Enjoy your weekend. 😎😎
@SunShineAlwaysGrateful
How has your January been to date?? So far only a snow storm 1/3 of a meter but the weather is cold now windchill around -17C
Do you need to re adjust? How so? I wear warm clothes
What are your goals for 2024 to live better life? To let go of the past even if it was great then , I cannot bring it back. I am hoping to live more in the present moment.
How about you?
