On a scale of 1 - 10 (1 being the worst and 10 being the best) how are you currently feeling? Why?: I am a 9 currently. Today things have been ok.
What can you do as a self care activity this week to help remember how important it is to look after you?: Get away from social media and spend time with yourself.

@azuladragon34 This is great to hear and I love your quote.
@RyanFrancis That it is Ryan,a great quote,by Azula.

That is something we all need to do.
Why always stay in the past,when life is always changing.
When your down,it is only for a short period of time.
Things will get better,eventually,it might take sometime.
There is a song on youtube, called Don't Worry,Be Happy.
I thought of that song,while reading your quote.

@WeedyGarden I am sorry to hear your in pain and I hope it ease's up and I like your quote.
@WeedyGarden Glad I am not the only one,who takes naps.

On a scale of 1 - 10 (1 being the worst and 10 being the best) how are you currently feeling? Why?
Currently a 9. I don't want to say that I'm feeling the best, but I'm actually feeling pretty good. Nothing is wrong physically or mentally right now, so thankfully, I'm good.
What can you do as a self care activity this week to help remember how important it is to look after you?
I'm not really sure? And I don't know if that's because I don't really understand the question or because there is nothing that I can do?
If you could have any super power what would it be? Why?
I think I would like to fly for a superpower. I just think it would be pretty cool and convenient to be able to go anywhere I want to and need time I want to. I'm not used to having that kind of freedom, so that would be a pretty cool change for me.
What is your Favourite Quote?
I'm excited for this question because this particular quote has helped me a lot, and it still does, actually.
"Cersei walked on. I am blind and deaf, and they are worms, she told herself."
A quote from one of my favorite book series. In this particular quote, the character is facing a highly embarrassing situation, and she uses that mantra to remind herself that everyone who is laughing and making fun of her don't matter to her, and that they are 'worms.' She is not technically deaf, nor blind, but regarding other people's perceptions of her, she is. She can't hear them laughing and making jokes about her, and she can't see them staring. I'm not saying to think of everyone else like this (worms), but it helps me to remind myself that other people's opinions of me don't matter. I'm very insecure, especially with my disability, and constantly worrying about what other people think of me, so when I first read this quote I thought it was great, and I found myself repeating it in my head a few times when never I catch people staring at me. It helps.
@princewhowaspromised718 This is a very inspiring quote.

I could find something new to study and learn about
If you could have any superpower what would it be? Why?
Mind reading, specifically for when it feels like people are judging me or so I can really tell what people think about me

On a scale of 1 - 10 (1 being the worst and 10 being the best) how are you currently feeling? Why?
I'm somewhere between 5-6 because sometimes I feel as though nothing is getting anywhere. I keep having urges to check covid-19 cases in my area every two seconds which doesn't help. Also, the changes that are occurring after lock-down is more daunting than the lock-down itself.
What can you do as a self care activity this week to help remember how important it is to look after you?
I can't really think atm. My brain is too sleepy to perform any basic thinking functions. Maybe to not overthink stuff too much (which is easier said than done).
If you could have any super power what would it be? Why?
I would probably choose between future vision and telepathy. I would perhaps choose future vision because at least I can see what I'm doing in the future and the forthcoming outcomes of my decisions and actions. If I see an outcome I don't like during future vision, then I have the time to change my decision and see a preferred result.

At this moment of time, the one I can think of is 'don't bite off more than what you can chew'.
@JoyIntoDarkness

*about a 7-ish, which is good for me. I have a myriad of health problems including fibromyalgia, Migraines, chronic fatigue, and a ton of other things, but those are the ones that really make life difficult.

*considering the pandemic, I've obviously been staying inside, but my husband and I started going nuts. Then we discovered that craft stores, and organization stores, and target/Walmart deliver! We have used a little bit of our savings, but it's been worth it. We have been doing crafts together and I'm kind of grateful for the isolation, we have become even closer (after 14 years, I didn't think that was possible lol)
If you could have any super power what would it be? Why?
*I'm honestly not really sure, I would just want to be able to help people, especially in today's world. I want to fix what's been broken and help people start to heal, as well as, keep up the current momentum of protests. I guess I'd like diplomacy and understanding to be my power (so boring lol)
