What things do you have in your life that help you feel content?
Music and books. Just knowing that my favourite stories and songs are there like a comfy pair of slippers makes me content.
How are things going for you this week? What's going well? What's causing you to struggle?
All in all, not the best week. I'm struggling with emotional blunting and detachment due to medication for depression. Being medicated for depression is nowhere near the smooth journey I thought it would be. Due to these trials, I am however developing a good relationship with my GP which has helped immensely.
@LiamArch I like how you describe music and books as comfy!
Meds can be tricky, I'm glad you have a good relationship with your doctor as you figure it out.
@AffyAvo

I have found a supportive non-related spiritual family who love and accept me. My boyfriend understands and embraces me. I feel capable despite the obstacles in my path at this time, this is the most motivated Ive felt in a long time.

How are things going for you this week? What's going well? What's causing you to struggle?
this week has been a little stressful because i just started school again, but it's been nice seeing all of my friends again, and i really like a lot of my classes, which is nice! it's a bit challenging getting back into the school routine, though, but i'm working on prioritising my physical and mental health
@aeris156 The school start seems to be a common stressor. I hope you have some great classes this semester! Prioritizing health is a great plan.
@AffyAvo
Things in life I do to feel content are self-care, caring for others, being organized and meeting deadlines.
Things are going quite well this week.
Things that are going well are that I am still on target for goals.
Things I am struggling with this week are seeing the opportunity for change in a positive direction, but I recognize that these are the opportunities of others and not mine.
@PhoenixArisen I'm glad things are going well and I hope you get your own positive opportunities too!
@AffyAvo hi there thank you for this check-in
What things do you have in your life that help you feel content?
I have much that gives me contentment. My zoo, my 2 wonderful creative active kiddos, my job that is always exciting, my close friends who listen to me whine but also encourage me, my church and pastor along with that family, my loving foster mom, my mindfulness skills-wow I can keep going of much more.
How are things going for you this week? What's going well? What's causing you to struggle?
Well it is Saturday but really Monday for me is my work week starts on a Sunday. So things are well I just have to get more control over me getting overwhelmed to quickly and grab hold of more of my skills. My challenge for me this week is working with a real difficult coworker and her moods and drama. So Im staying clear of all that
@RumpleSteeleSkin Wow, lots of thing that help you feel content, that's great! I hope you have a fairly uneventful week with the coworker.
oops, sorry, just saw my earlier post!
@AffyAvo
I feel content by listening to music and studying, doing things that I like when I am down.
Recently my life is not as good. I am ok in keeping up my school work. However I am struggling in managing my own emotions and thoughts.
@insightfulBeauty97 Maybe some of the tools on 7cups can help you get through this period with your emotions and thoughts. I hope that since school is going well that helps you deal with it too.
@AffyAvo
What things do you have in your life that help you feel content?
The support and guidance of my family, good health, my religion and the ability to find joy in smallest achievements.
How are things going for you this week? What's going well? What's causing you to struggle?
Things are going pretty well for me this week. I am progessing pretty well in my studies in a slow but steady pace. I am struggling to sleep early which is why I wake up pretty late and hence I stay quite drowsy all the time.I am hating myself for nurturing this bad habit but I am unable to overcome it.
@softBubbles64 Lots of good things in your life!
I hope you find a trick that gets you onto a better sleep schedule.
What things do you have in your life that help you feel content?
* Having a family and a few friends who supports me and my books, I have this sense of contentment just seeing my books J
How are things going for you this week? What's going well? What's causing you to struggle?
* So far so good, work and life is going well.
@carefreefemme I'm happy things are going well and that just seeing your books gives you that sense of contentment!
