50+ Check-In March 14-17, 2022
I hope everyone is having a good start in the new week. 😊
Life is full of surprises, some of them are very good and highly appreciated, some not so much. Challenges can make us change to the positive but also make us withdraw, feel sad if we do not take care of ourselves.
1. What is something about you that you are proud of and that has never changed?
2. What's something about you that you would like to work on?
3. What is something about you that you are proud of for having changed?

@amiablePeace77
Hi, Peace,
1. What is something about you that you are proud of and that has never changed?
I love to dance, and I love gardening.
2. What's something about you that you would like to work on?
I need to work on being more in touch with myself.
3. What is something about you that you are proud of for having changed?
I am less of a people pleaser.
@purpleTree4652
I'm glad you learned how to say no more often purpleTree4652!
Dancing can be a wonderful way to express yourself and also to get in touch with your inner self.
@amiablePeace77
1. What is something about you that you are proud of and that has never changed? I work hard and complete tasks.
2. What's something about you that you would like to work on? Getting it so anger does not disturb me.
3. What is something about you that you are proud of for having changed? I am less likely to let anger and negative emotions take over.
@soulsings
Anger can be so debilitative, nice that you make progress in managing it.
Thanks for all the hard work you do here!
. What is something about you that you are proud of and that has never changed? Nothing
2. What's something about you that you would like to work on? Me
@scarletPear1945
I'm glad and proud of you and also everyone here including myself to have joined this site to work on themselves ❤️
@amiablePeace77
Thank you. I need so badly to work on myself, I had to stop therapy and now I have got to do this so I can get out of my foxhole which serves me no good. Waging war with my head and my brain and my heart is requiring so much energy. Striving to do one day at a time leaving room for cutting myself some slack.😮💨
@scarletPear1945
One day at a time and just doing what you can sounds good. Don't forget, we are always here if you need to chat 💙
@scarletPear1945 I am happy to see you participating. I had a very strong inner critic but I decided not to believe everything they said. THey are still there but I do not buy what they are selling as much as I used to.
@soulsings
I appreciate your support and for not giving up on me🥅
1. What is something about you that you are proud of and that has never changed? ---I am creative. I like doing things with my hands.
2. What's something about you that you would like to work on? ---Motivation, procrastination.
3. What is something about you that you are proud of for having changed? ---I was once caught in a religious cult. I'm so glad, with the help of one friend stuck in with me to bounce thoughts/beliefs off of, I got myself OUT. I no longer let people, any man - or woman, tell me what to believe. That is totally up to me and my higher power.
@EmbStitcher33
I'm glad that you took control back over your mind, your beliefs! It must have been hard to get out, so glad you could.
Do you have any creative project you're working on right now? Would love to hear about what you're doing 😊
@amiablePeace77
1. What is something about you that you are proud of and that has never changed?
My creativity and curiosity.
2. What's something about you that you would like to work on?
Self-compassion, better awareness of how my actions may impact others.
3. What is something about you that you are proud of for having changed?
Dealing with my anxiety and depression in a healthy way.
@galfromaway
Nice that you learned to deal with your anxiety and depression in a healthier way. I hope being here will help you with becoming more compassionate with yourself and understand how what you do or say impacts others. It can happen easily that we say things we do not mean in a bad way or are simply not aware of that others perceive as hurtful. So great you want to work on this.
Some people say curiosity is the key to learning.
@amiablePeace77
1. What is something about you that you are proud of and that has never changed?
I know a lof of stuff. Mostly useless stuff, though.
2. What's something about you that you would like to work on?
I need to get over somebody, but I don't know how, and no one seems to be able to tell me how.
3. What is something about you that you are proud of for having changed?
I can talk more openly about the fact that I was abused.
I'm having a great deal of difficulty with this website now. There are no "Post Comment" buttons any more, and I have to hit the "Post Reply" button to post anything. Often, the "Post Reply" buttons aren't there, either. I can't find any way to tell anyone about this except here.
@WharfRat
Getting over someone for whatever reasons is very individual and hard to say for anybody since no one can really feel your feelings. I believe letting go is a process and often takes time.
It can be tough to admit having been abused to yourself and others. I'm glad that talking about it becomes easier to you now, hugs.
There were a number of changes on the site but I hope next week all will be okay again. Btw did you see this update? https://www.7cups.com/forum/SiteUpdates_100/HsHangout_1970/SiteUpdateForumChanges_273465/
@WharfRat
I meant "lot of stuff" , not "lof of stuff".
@WharfRat
I even did not see the typo until now 😊. Knowing a lot of stuff, even if we think it's useless, can come in handy one day. Something I learned is the more I know about things the better I can understand who things relate to each other.
