❄️The past week went alright... just alot of stuff trying to get ready for Christmas Eve & Christmas Day... Got in a festival or two, and saw some Christmas lights and did some holiday shopping... Taught 2 classes & enjoyed a Christmas Zumba Party.~
🎉My son was off, so He was able to spend the night on Christmas Eve and enjoy. We had nice family time together and spent the evening watching lots of Christmas movies and making Christmas cookies. We then got up and opened presents in the morning , and then headed to my moms for more presents and Christmas Dinner~ We had amazing family time and always sad when that part is over. ~
❄️No major plans for the week ahead other than to clean up from Christmas and get ready for New Years Eve. Just intend to take it easy for the most part this week, and get back on track with things after the New Year~
Enjoy the week ahead~
@PoliteOcean so glad to hear you had such an amazing family time!!
@AveryLove
Awww.. thank you very much Avery!
So nice to see you!
@PoliteOcean
My past week was ok but then again at times not so great it just sucks rn
But on the other hand, I had a great Christmas and I also celebrated my birthday last week and I had that one magical day where I felt happy and positive, which is really great
@PoliteOcean hi ocean!!! it has been quite some time. I hope you are doing good <3
How was the past week for you?
this past week had lots of ups and downs, with some family conflicts arising here and there but nothing major. It has been a bit difficult since I am recovering from a very severe illness still, so my body is extremely weak. Im trying to build up some strength again, so I take 10-15 minute walks everyday, but after I get back Im always super tired. Other than that im thinking about my plan for college/university and taking some online courses ☺️
🎉 Christmas Day has now came and gone already!...How did you spend your day? What was the best part of the day for you? How were you feeling this day?... Some ppl can have a mood crash after the holidays, How do you feel now that it's all over?
For us in Germany, the 24th is actually the most Christmas-y day. During the day we prepared food, watched some movies, and in the evening went to my grandmas to eat dinner together. After that, we exchanged our gifts in the evening.
❄️ We have now Entered the "LAST" week of December & 2021!.... What are you looking forwards to in this last week ahead?! What do you hope to accomplish or what would you like to see happen for yourself in this last week?
I am looking forward to further looking into my university plans and regaining some strength with small steps. I was hoping to be able to visit friends on New Years Eve, however, I´ll have to see spontaneously whether I´m healthy enough to! :)
⭐️ JUST FOR FUN: What was the BEST Part of 2021 for you?!
graduating from high school with my dream GPA!!!
🎉What were your "Highlights or Challenges" this past week? What about this past Year?!..How were you able to work through the challenges?!
Highlights past year: Graduation, my first healthy relationship (now in the past but still), lots of personal growth
Struggles past year: studying a lot, moving abroad first then having to come back to my parents due to a health crisis, my health crisis
@AveryLove
Hey there Avery! Its so lovely to hear from you!.. Long time its been!...
So sorry to hear that you've had alot of ups & downs the past week. And that family conflict was at the forefront of it. But good to hear that it wasn't anything too major! I'm glad to hear that you are recovering from your illness, but sorry to hear that you are still extremely weak. Its great that you are working on trying to build up some strength and that you are able to get out and get some walks in! 10-15 minutes is amazing for your recovery and help you feel better just getting some fresh air. And so good for you that you are planning for your college/uni courses! Thats awesome for you that you have considered online courses. Seems like so many are doing that now, and it can certainly help make things convenient.
Sounds like you had a really great time for your holiday! Preparing foods, watching movies, and going to your grandmas exchanging gifts. Thats pretty much everything we do here lol... I know some people like to celebrate on the 24th & some on the 25th. I guess it just depends on each family's tradition! So glad you enjoyed!
We wish you the best of luck on regaining your strength. Taking small steps can lead to greater steps for sure! And hope that you are able to get out and enjoy your New Years Eve with your friends. And that you are feeling healthy to enjoy it all!
And awesome job on graduation from Highschool with your dream GPA! Yay! 🎉
Despite all the struggles for you of the past year, its really great that you are persevering and that you've had lots of "personal growth" for yourself! So glad to hear that things are coming along for you, and that you are getting back to things day by day. And so great to see you again!. Remember we are here for you to support you in any way that we can! Thanks so much for checking in this week! And letting us know how you've been doing and how things are going for you! Please keep us up to date on how things are continuing along for you!
@PoliteOcean This week went by like any other week for me because I worked on Christmas and I didn't go over for Christmas Dinner at my sister's because I wanted to sleep. I have had more pizza this week than I am proud of tho lol
Hopie
@HopieRemi
Sorry to hear that you had to work and miss out on going to your sister's. But sounds like Rest and sleep was just what you needed. And nothing wrong with that. And I know that keeping up with healthy eating and goals during this time of year can be challenging for sure. Especially when you work. But I know that you are looking into ways to make healthier choices for yourself and thats certainly a start. One day at a time~ Thats all we can do.
@PoliteOcean I never do get notifications for tags ugh lol. But like my goal for this month is to buy a weeks worth of groceries every week or so. ((Also side note I went out yesterday and got exposed to covid by my 2 year old niece…. I guess this is why being antisocial would have been better ))
@PoliteOcean
How was the past week for you?
It has been okay, a bit stressful tbh because everyone in my house was stressing out :/
🎉 Christmas Day has now came and gone already!...How did you spend your day? What was the best part of the day for you? How were you feeling this day?... Some ppl can have a mood crash after the holidays, How do you feel now that it's all over?
i spent Christmas Day enjoying myself with family and friends, we had lunch and went for 3 swims 😀. The best part of the day was when my family and friends came over. I was feeling ok for the whole of Christmas, I was very tired by the end of the day because 3 swims estimating 30mins- 2 hours is very exhausting 😀. I’m actually not stressed (my parents stress rubbed off onto me) 😕
❄️ We have now Entered the "LAST" week of December & 2021!.... What are you looking forwards to in this last week ahead?! What do you hope to accomplish or what would you like to see happen for yourself in this last week?
I am actually looking forwards to 5-6 of my best friends come over for a pool party 😀 as we all have graduated, we haven’t seen each other for like 2 months 😕. The only thing I would like to see happen in this last week is for me to try and remain optimistic and hopeful 😀
⭐️ JUST FOR FUN: What was the BEST Part of 2021 for you?!
the best part of 2021 was when I started dating my boyfriend 😀 (we actually started dating between our birthdays which is only 9 days apart)
🎉What were your "Highlights or Challenges" this past week? What about this past Year?!..How were you able to work through the challenges?!
highlights of this year, I somehow graduated high school :0 (I did actually bomb out on the last term smh(so I did terribly)), I went to prom, I found the wonderful land of 7 cups 😀, I became a room supporter, I have made many anonymous friends and I have found more ways to cope than I would have if I didn’t find cups 😀 and I also found the ability to just smile no matter how terrible the day gets, like everything could go wrong and here’s me just smiling 😀
@emotionalTalker2260
Hey there!...
We're sorry to hear that things were a bit stressful for you over the past week and that everyone seemed stressed out. The holiday season can certainly have that effect on some people.
Its great for you that you spent your Christmas day enjoying yourself with your family & friends. I still can't believe that you were swimming. You must live some place thats obviously very warm this time of year. But I'm sure you got in some great activity. Swimming is a great workout.
How awesome that you and your friends have graduated. And a pool party sounds amazing and lots of fun for sure. It would surely be a great way to bring you all together again after 2 months of not seeing each other. .... And remaining optimistic and hopeful in the week ahead is a great goal to work towards!
How nice that you and your boyfriend share your birthdays so close to each other.
And WOW!.... What AMAZING "Highlights" for you this year!!.... (graduation, prom, 7cups, room supporter, friendships, coping skills,) and the icing on the cake "SMILING" No matter how your day goes!... That is an awesome quality to have inside you for sure! I wish you could bottle that up and share it with the rest of us! That is surely an amazing quality! How great for you! We are so glad that you found us here at 7cups and so happy to have you here in the Healthy Living Subcom sharing with us!
Thank you so much for checking in this week to let us know how you are doing! What a great check-in for you. Thank you for keeping us up to date on things!
@PoliteOcean
😀 I live in Australia and from November-April it’s always warm enough to go swimming 😀 and thanks for replying and it’s also an honour to be apart of the HL team😌
@emotionalTalker2260
oh ok!..lol.. Sounds like you are backwards then from where we are in the USA...Its colder Nov.-April. Well enjoy your swim time! I LOVE the pool!... You can't get me out of it once I'm in. lol...
@PoliteOcean
🤡 same, I love the water too much lol
@PoliteOcean Here's how the past week went. Monday Deysi took me grocery shopping and also for a walk. Tuesday I had an appointment with my doctor to look at the laceration on my ear. It went well. Wednesday I had no acupuncture, so that's two weeks without acupuncture. Wednesday my therapist canceled our appointment but it worked out better for me. I sent my therapist an email asking if we could have a more question and answer format. Thursday my new prescriptions arrived. Christmas was uneventful. For this upcoming week I have grocery shopping and a walk on Monday, hopefully acupuncture on Wednesday. Thursday I have a therapy appointment. I don't know if Deysi wants to work on Friday. I'm watching psychology watching videos 1 hour per day and listening to Christian music 15-20 before going to bed. Hosted the sharing circle several times.
@Regmo
Hey there Regmo, Sounds like you had another busy week... its good that you were able to get out for a walk before the holiday and that you got your ear looked at. That's good that things worked out for you despite your therapy session being canceled, and that you were able to communicate your needs to them about how you would like for your sessions to continue. I think a Q&A format always works pretty well and is easiest. Thats good for you that your prescriptions have arrived. Sounds like you have yet another busy week ahead of you this week. Hopefully this reply finds that you were able to get your walk in today. Good for you on continuing to do something beneficial for yourself by watching your videos and listening to music. Great job at taking care of yourself and getting in that self-care time. And great job on continuing to host the Sharing circle. Continue to keep up the great work that you are doing. And thank you again for sharing with us and letting us know how your week went for you.
@PoliteOcean
How was the past week for you?
It was very hectic, as it was full of prep and celebrations for the wedding of my besty.
❄️ We have now Entered the "LAST" week of December & 2021!.... What are you looking forwards to in this last week ahead?! What do you hope to accomplish or what would you like to see happen for yourself in this last week?
Just some rest and a fruitful celebration for NYE
⭐️ JUST FOR FUN: What was the BEST Part of 2021 for you?!
It's definitely the fun stay I had with my close frds at a farmhouse
🎉What were your "Highlights or Challenges" this past week? What about this past Year?!..How were you able to work through the challenges?!
Well, the year was a bit slow and I have to say that I was struggling with the same thing almost all year. We do learn our lessons at our own time. So, things are looking up and I am glad for that. Lookign forward to gain some more momentum in the upcoming year.
Happy 21-22 everyone 🧡
@DonaldDraper
Hey there DD... sounds like you had a busy week. Its great that you are planning ahead for some rest! And to get ready for the New Year ahead!
Despite that you feel that the year went for slow for you and that you felt you struggled a bit with some things, its good for you that things are starting to look up for you and that you are looking forwards to the upcoming year ahead and gaining more momentum for yourself.
Sounds like you are ready to be in "full-force" for 2022! Thanks for checking in this week and sharing with everyone!
Christmas Day has now came and gone already!...How did you spend your day? What was the best part of the day for you? How were you feeling this day?... Some ppl can have a mood crash after the holidays, How do you feel now that it's all over?
I spent the day with my son. We played with our fur babies, had a nice meal that we didn't have to cook (picked it up from a local joint ahead of time), watched TV and I did crafts while he gamed. Not having the pressure of Christmas allows me to feel fine after it's all over.
❄️ We have now Entered the "LAST" week of December & 2021!.... What are you looking forwards to in this last week ahead?! What do you hope to accomplish or what would you like to see happen for yourself in this last week?
I have some schoolwork I need to finish and my son has Wednesday through Saturday off so I'm looking forward to relaxing.
⭐️ JUST FOR FUN: What was the BEST Part of 2021 for you?!
Starting school because I've always wanted to do so. The fact that I got a full scholarship only makes it all that much sweeter.
🎉What were your "Highlights or Challenges" this past week? What about this past Year?!..How were you able to work through the challenges?!
Honestly, I feel like this last year has been a steady upswing. While my favorite dog died in February and my other dog died a few months later, everything else went really well.
❄️What would "YOU" Like to talk about or share with us this week?! WE want to hear from YOU!
Happy New Year!
@777Bre777
Hey there Bre~
Sounds like you had a nice, quiet and relaxing Christmas with the top people in your life. And thats what makes the holiday and what matters most~
Good luck to you on getting your schoolwork completed, and have fun relaxing with your son again... I remember when mine still lived at home, it was doing those little things or absolutely nothing together that totally made my day~ Enjoy!
How great for you that were able to get a full scholarship!. Wow... What will you be going to school for? Please keep us updated on how things are going with that.
Sorry to hear about your dogs... I know how they are like "family" and not just pets. Its great that aside from that, that everything else was well.
Thank you so much for stopping by to share with us this week, and letting us know how your holiday and your week went. And Happy New Year to you too!
@PoliteOcean
Hello All! Have a great week!
@exquisitePeace7976
Hello Peace! Thank you, and you have a great week too!
Hello! Merry Christmas!
🎉 Christmas Day has now came and gone already!...How did you spend your day? What was the best part of the day for you? How were you feeling this day?... Some ppl can have a mood crash after the holidays, How do you feel now that it's all over?
My Christmas was spent at my grandmother's house like it is nearly every year. This time my aunt and her family came down to join us as well! We start off with gift giving in the morning as well as snacking on foods such as veggies, cheese, summer sausage, and breads. Then later the dinner is usually ham with lots of sides. My aunt made it fancy this year with Christmas-y seat tags for everyone.
I was feeling pretty festive that day. The Christmas Eve service I go to really helps with the good mood for the next day. :)
I have been starting to feel the mood crash, however, I'm trying to keep up the holiday spirit at least until after the 12 days of Christmas (ending Jan. 6, I think).
❄️ We have now Entered the "LAST" week of December & 2021!.... What are you looking forwards to in this last week ahead?! What do you hope to accomplish or what would you like to see happen for yourself in this last week?
My mom and I are hard at work trying to move everything into her new house. It's a real bad time to move, but we didn't really have a choice in the matter. To be honest it's been incredibly stressful and really put a damper on December as a whole. We didn't get to do as many things as we normally do such as look at Christmas lights or go to holiday markets. I'll be glad when it's January and we can relax a lot more...
⭐️ JUST FOR FUN: What was the BEST Part of 2021 for you?!
The best part was my wildlife gig in New Mexico for about 6 months of the year. I was a technician for research with the lesser prairie chicken, which was fascinating (and really helped my resume). The boss is inviting me back for next field season this coming year, so I'm looking forward to it.
🎉What were your "Highlights or Challenges" this past week? What about this past Year?!..How were you able to work through the challenges?!
Challenges would definitely be trying to handle conflicts between family members during the move. Some of them don't have the best conflict resolution skills and just end up screaming at one another, so being around that and trying to calm things is such a pain -_-
Some highlights of the week would be making Christmas cookies and playing Settlers of Catan. For the year it's been my time in New Mexico, joining in my besties' Dungeons and Dragons compaign, and being a LOT better about practicing mindfulness and calm throughout the day. I don't go on autopilot as much anymore which I'm happy about.
@cafedaydreams
Hello there~....
Merry Christmas to you too! Sounds like yours was quite lovely spent with family at your grandmother's house! It also sounds like you had lots of yummy dishes and treats to celebrate! And how nice that you were able to go to Christmas Eve service to help get you in the mood even more!
I know what you mean about that "holiday crash'.... I too try to do the same and keep up and within the spirits through that first week of January. I feel like its such a fun, festive and magical time that all only really comes just once a year. I don't like rushing it.
So sorry to hear that you having a stressful time in dealing with your mom's move into a new house. I'm sure thats alot to deal with during this time of year! And that you weren't able to actually enjoy the Usual Christmas festivities as you would have liked to and typically do. Hopefully as you said, things will soon calm down for you in January when its all completed.
Wow, how interesting that got to spend time in New Mexico for a wildlife gig. I hear New Mexico has some really places there. And how awesome for you that you were invited back to enjoy it all.
Sorry to hear that you had to deal with some challenges of family conflict. I know how difficult and challenging that can be. And yes, when you have a family that doesn't have the best conflict resolution skills, that can make it even more difficult. But despite those challenges, and getting through them, its great that you had the great highlights of making Christmas cookies, spending time in New Mexico, and playing things that you like with your besties. And how awesome for you that you are becoming alot better at practicing Mindfulness!
Sounds like for the most part things are going really well for you, and that the Mindfulness will help you to work through anything else! Thank you so much for checking in and sharing your week with us and letting us know how things are going for you. Please continue to keep us updated on how you are doing!
