What are you exploring?
I started a new job and it's my second week. So right now, I'm exploring this field of work and how everything works.
How can you show yourself kindness?
Try and be less negative towards myself. Try and concentrate on the postives and the ways I did well in certain things.
Do you keep a Journal if so why if not how come ? how often do you journal or try too? what sort of journal is your favourite method and why?
I've kept a journal about half my life. I write to it all the time, really, whenever I have a moment for it. I have memory problems so journaling has become my memory in a lot of ways. I doubt I could function as well as I do without it. I don't really have a favorite type, anything works. But I do prefer to do it by hand, never learned to do it digitally like some ppl do it.
@OneErased Thanks for sharing.
@OneErased

@CaringBrit
Thanks for asking. I started work as a cemetery caretaker. I had the job some months like a year ago and really learned to like it. To the point I was actually depressed when it ended. But, getting the call of I wanted the job permanently was all the more a positive surprise. I do hope it goes well too, cause I really don't wanna give it up anymore.
I hope your day's going well.

Magnetic fueled electric motors, and no it's not work related. I'm just a security guard.
2. how can you show yourself kindness?
I don't
3. do you keep a Journal if so why if not how come ? how often do you journal or try too? what sort of journal is your favourite method and why?
Actually I keep a half dozen or so going at a time. 3 on different research. One in random thoughts to explore later and my last one is "Who am I today..." Its where I write a few words to no more than a paragraph on just what the title says. I use it to track my mood and emotions. It always me to see growth or degradation of my personality.
@RealityCzech
"It allows"... Not always...sheesh I hate autocorrect on my tablet
@RealityCzech Thanks for posting and checking in.
@RealityCzech
cool exploration choice
aww howcome
ah cool do you write in your journals daily then
@CaringBrit
Thanks.
I used some magnets to turn an electric motor, out of a slot racer, to power a l.e.d. Mounted the whole thing in a butter dish for my kids room as a night light. I wanna scale it up now.
Hmmm. Don't get me wrong. I do things I like. I enjoy things. I just don't want to be me. So being kind would mean I like myself. I dont. I would give anything to be someone else. It's not possible so I enjoy what I can.
I have one journal I do put entries into daily. It helps me remember who I am. The others I use when I have thoughts that match the topic to the journal.
@RealityCzech i see nice project then as for seeing being kind to yourself as liking yourself you dont have to like yourself to be kind to yourself you can very much not like yourself but still e kind to yourself by relaxing taking god care of yourself etc
makes sense around the journals
@RealityCzech Loved the post.
For some reason a lot of people do not show a lot of kindness for themselves,but they do show a lot of kindness towards others,I do not know why that is, maybe because it is easier to show kindness for others,then it is to show kindness towards themselves.
@Happy900
I think you are into something. It's easier to forgive others than ourselves, hence it's easier to be kind to others.
Fridays cause I get to get out.
@Fireskye13 fridays are awesome your the 1st to answer the hidden question :)
@CaringBrit
Yay 1st one woohoo lol
I'm exploring my personality and behavior. Being nice to myself is taking time to color. I don't journal no particular reason but thinking about it.
@Fireskye13 ooo nice ty for sharing what your exploring how your being kind to yourself too and aww its ok
