**AND ANY & ALL "NEWBIES" THAT WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH US!
❄️This past week could've been alot better in so many ways. And dealing with various stressors at the moment that have not helped in keeping me on track so far this year in any of my goals.
❄️Due to needing to work on these matters, I've cancelled my classes for the time being to work on things. The weather has been very cold here, near freezing most days, which is expected this time of year.... so haven't really been out to do much either since the year has begun. And we are supposed to get snow here this weekend. Which its been almost 2 years since we've seen any.
❄️Just continuing to work on my mental well-being at this time which I feel is most important before moving ahead with anything else. And going to take it easy again this weekend.~
@PoliteOcean
❄️How has your week been for you?
My week has been okay (: I have had a good week which I am happy about
⛄️In what ways did you take care of yourself this week?
When I was in pain, I took time out and treated myself very well. (:
❄️ What is "One" thing that you did for "somebody else" this week?! ...What's one healthy thing that you did for yourself?
:P one thing I did for someone else, well, funny thing, is that I actually sometimes go around in pms on cups and hand out compliments 😛 I have complimented 2-3 people this week.
one thing I did for myself, I actually went for 2 walks to my boyfriend’s house, and I had dinner at his place once this week ^-^
⛄️FOR FUN: What is One Thing that you accomplished for yourself, Or feel proud of , Or Working towards this week here at 7CUPS?!
I feel proud of myself because I finally came to the realisation that self hate is useless and just made me feel even more worse than what I was, all it took was lots of group chats and 3-5 times more pmland chats to come to that realisation 😊 but I am so proud as I feel Awesome 😛
❄️What were your "Highlights or Challenges" of this past week? How were you able to work through the challenges?!
Challenges, I guess sometimes I end up feeling pretty lonely 😮 and it makes me sad.
Highlights, I have walked twice this week
⛄️What would "YOU" Like to talk about or share with us this week?! WE want to hear from YOU!
I’m still waiting for my pool to warm back up again as last week was basically overcast.. still a couple more days to let the water get back to what it was and I’m going swimming again 😎
👀 I nearly beat you again ocean, you won by seconds lol XD
@emotionalTalker2260
Looks like we posted only "seconds" apart from one another lol~
Thats good that your week was well for you and that your happy on the outcome of it. And that you took some time out to tend to your needs and pain that you were in.
That is really quite lovely of you to think of others and drop-in to compliment them. I'm sure you managed to brighten the week of all 2-3 of those participants here. And I'm sure they enjoyed. 😊
How nice that you were able to walk to your BF's house and have dinner and managed to do it "twice". What great activity for yourself, and that you managed to incorporate for yourself in spending time with him. Keep up the great work👍
That is amazing that you were able to come to the realization for yourself this week regarding self-hate. And that you were able to do that by spending time here at 7cups and helping others while also helping yourself! <3
So sorry to hear that you dealt with feelings of loneliness. I'm sure that was difficult for you. And hope that you found a way to overcome that. With 7cups, I imagine you could never really be lonely for long ;)
I know how it is getting the pool to the perfect temps then having weather that interferes with that and having to wait again for it to get back to where you want it to be. But it will get there~
Thanks for taking time to share again this week with the community. And keeping everyone up to date on how things are continuing to go for you. We appreciate hearing from you. :)
@PoliteOcean

@rrretsuko
Hey there~ Sounds like you had a good week with taking care of yourself as well as getting in that water and eating well. Great job and keep up the great work. 👍
That was really nice of you to include your friends in your week by checking in on them to make sure that they were ok as well. I'm sure that they appreciated that of you. <3
How great for you that you are working towards a training program here at 7cups! Let us know how all of that continues to go for you as you move forwards and complete it!
So sorry to hear about your challenge <3 I truly am. Its especially great that you are taking care of yourself right now. What medication are you currently taking to help?

@PoliteOcean
How has your week been for you?
Honestly, I'm having a bit of a down week.
In what ways did you take care of yourself this week?
I did a little bit of cross stitch and went outside each day.
What is "One" thing that you did for "somebody else" this week?! ...What's one healthy thing that you did for yourself?
I make my son's hot meal each day before work.
I spent a few minutes outside each day even thought it's freezing cold here.
FOR FUN: What is One Thing that you accomplished for yourself, Or feel proud of , Or Working towards this week here at 7CUPS?!
I've been consistent on journaling - frequently it's with prompts like this one.
What were your "Highlights or Challenges" of this past week? How were you able to work through the challenges?!
I have a lot of challenges right now. My schoolwork this term is humongous, I need to find a job (flexible hours, work from home, no phone lol), and we'll be moving this summer. I'm trying to just stay focused and take it one thing at a time.
@Bre4Me
Hey there Bre~ Sorry that your week hasn't been a good one for you. Its nice that you were able to spend your time doing some things that you enjoy in the midst of that, including some cross-stitch and getting outside in the fresh air. Even despite it being freezing cold there. Its challenging for me to want to be out in the cold weather. Its been pretty cold here too. So its good that it didn't affect you getting out even if for a bit.
Thats really nice of you to make your son's meal before he goes to work. I know no matter how old my son gets, that he's always my baby and I will do anything I can for him as well to help.
I think that is really great that you've been continuing to journal. I have started back to at least reading over some positive things that I have journaled in the past. Prompts definitely help and can be beneficial in getting you started. Keep up the great work.
Despite having various challenges at the moment with school, finding a job, & eventually moving, (which does certainly seem like alot all at once), its great that you are working on trying to stay focused and take one thing at a time.
And it sounds like you are doing the best that you can do right now. And thats all we can do from day to day. Keep up the great work you are doing. And thank you again for checking in this week and taking the time to share with us how you are doing and how things are going for you. Please keep us up to date on how things continue to move along for you.
❄️How has your week been for you?
My week's been pretty busy but I went out to eat with a few friends and did my weekly bowling for a league I'm on. I also worked hard at the place I volunteer at.
⛄️In what ways did you take care of yourself this week?
Listening to more chill music throughout the day, and also trying not to get angry at random, silly things.
❄️ What is "One" thing that you did for "somebody else" this week?! ...What's one healthy thing that you did for yourself?
This week I bought my mom an early birthday gift. She loves puzzles so I got her one. A healthy thing I did for myself? Hmm...I guess I've been washing my face more. I can usually tell more during the winter how dry and dirty my face gets, lol
⛄️FOR FUN: What is One Thing that you accomplished for yourself, Or feel proud of , Or Working towards this week here at 7CUPS?!
I haven't really done too many 'accomplishment' here on 7cups, but I don't find that a bad thing. I mostly stick to the forums and interact when I have the time :)
❄️What would "YOU" Like to talk about or share with us this week?! WE want to hear from YOU!
It snowed a bit last night, which was nice. ^^
@cafedaydreams
Hey there Cafe~ It does sound like you surely had a pretty busy week....
Thats great that you are working on doing things to help become "slow to anger" more at those "little things". And that you are incorporating some "winter self-care" time where needed.
How lovely that you bought your mom an early Birthday gift. I'm sure she enjoyed it for sure.
Thats good that you do the things here at 7cups that you find enjoyment in. I mostly like to stick to the forum too and interact when I have time as well. And you are right, thats not a bad thing at all :)
How nice that you got to see some snow... its supposed to snow here tonight too for the first time in about 2 years. It is nice to see it when you do get the chance.
Thanks so much for checking in this week and sharing with everyone and letting everyone know how you are doing.
❄️How has your week been for you?
Tough, but there was also good.
⛄️In what ways did you take care of yourself this week?
This has been hard. I work out every morning, and on three days of my week I do a second cardio workout. I canceled one of those second workouts this week because I was feeling so physically worn down. It's very hard for me to cancel those kinds of things because I am constantly so very worried that I am just going to slip into a lazy version of my old self. I'm glad I did this week because I still feel sore today and I think pushing myself past the point of feeling sore on a rest day will just damage my immune system, something we all need to be strong right now.
❄️ What is "One" thing that you did for "somebody else" this week?! ...What's one healthy thing that you did for yourself?
Someone else: I designed and ordered my husband's Valentine's day present! I love Valentine's day and now I have to be patient for another month until I can present it (:
Myself: Even with my very high volume of work reading this term I have made sure to spend at least a half hour a day reading for myself, and it's been so wonderful. Such a nice part of my evening, or sometimes the thing I do at the gym during those second workouts.
⛄️FOR FUN: What is One Thing that you accomplished for yourself, Or feel proud of , Or Working towards this week here at 7CUPS?!
I am proud of some of the statistical analysis I ran at work this week! I'm slowly getting better at that part of my job.
❄️What were your "Highlights or Challenges" of this past week? How were you able to work through the challenges?!
Highlight: My Monday evening class this week was very valuable to me, which is isn't always.
Challenge: It's been a hard week for thinking patterns. I wish I knew how to move forward. Maybe getting through the week is what moving forward looks like right now.
@nordurnStar
Hey there Star~ Thats good for you that despite having a tough week that it went well for you.
Thats great that you are continuing to work on yourself despite any challenges, and that you know where to push your limits as far as working out. Keep up the great work.
How nice that you have already thought ahead on Valentines Day and gotten ahead on your husband's gift. I'm sure whatever it is that he'll enjoy it. .... And how great that you have taken time for yourself to read or workout and find enjoyment in that time. Great job! Keep up the great work.
How nice that despite the challenge of thinking patterns for you, that you were able to find some value in your Monday class. Hopefully you will that your solution of just getting through the week at this time will be helpful to you.
Sounds like you are doing really well for yourself , and we appreciate you sharing your week with us, and stopping by to check in. Please keep us updated on how things are going for you.
@PoliteOcean Here's how the past week went. Monday I went grocery shopping and also for a walk. Tuesday I had my first EMDR therapy session. We did it over the telephone. I thought it was just going to be an intake, not actually therapy. It went well. Friday I came down with a cold so I canceled my walk with Deysi. Saturday I was still sick so I skipped my walk through my creepy neighborhood. I'm getting burned out on psychology videos. There's a lot of repetition and it's not relevant to what I'm going through. I hosted the sharing circle several times. For my devotional life I'm studying the book of Daniel, and still listening to worship music before bed time. My heart is so hard, I'm really bitter about all the bad things that have happened to me.
@Regmo
Hey there Regmo~ Sounds like you had another busy week for yourself. And that you got to get in your first EMDR session. Thats good that you were able to do it over the telephone and that it went well for you. Its good that you knew your limits with not feeling well, and just maintained for those days. I can understand how doing some things to work on yourself that you may find some of those things don't apply to what you are going through. So in turn, it kind of de-motivates you to keep working on that particular thing at the moment....But its good that you are still going forwards in working with the sharing circle here at 7cups. And that you are still working on your devotional life, and continuing with some selfcare time before bed by listening to worship music. I have started doing those same things again myself. Hopefully your new therapy sessions will be able to help with the feelings that you are still carrying with you personally. Keep us updated on how your sessions are working out. And thanks for sharing with us this week and continuing to let us know how you are doing.
@PoliteOcean
❄️How has your week been for you?
It has been eventful. Had different highs and lows. And all set to experience new ones this week.
⛄️In what ways did you take care of yourself this week?
I kept myself warm and took as many precautions as I could to stay allergy free. Besides, I took rest as and when I needed.
❄️ What is "One" thing that you did for "somebody else" this week?!
I helped out my cousin who is in a hospital, going through something serious. I was there for his family for their support.
...What's one healthy thing that you did for yourself?
Many healthy things. One of them was having a sprout salad for breakfast, for a change.
⛄️FOR FUN: What is One Thing that you accomplished for yourself, Or feel proud of , Or Working towards this week here at 7CUPS?!
I have finally enrolled in a 7cups academy course that I had been debating to sign up for for a long time. Hoping to get out of it as much as I can.
❄️What were your "Highlights or Challenges" of this past week? How were you able to work through the challenges?!
The challenge was to get time for myself. Hoping to get more me time this week.
⛄️What would "YOU" Like to talk about or share with us this week?! WE want to hear from YOU!
YOU are the one that balances your heart and brain and not the other way around.
Tc and have an awesome week ahead 🧡
@DonaldDraper
Hey DD~ Despite you having an "eventful" week, its good that you took the precautions that you needed for your wellness. Thats always most important.....And that you were also able to be there for your family during a challenging time, and offer your support to them.
A Sprout salad sounds interesting. Can't say that I've ever actually saw one. But it surely sounds very healthy. And awesome on signing up for your Academy course here at 7cups. Great job and good work on both. 👍
Hopefully you get the time for yourself that you are wanting in this coming week ahead. And thank you for some 'words of wisdom' for everyone! You take care as well, and enjoy your week too. And thanks again for stopping by to share with everyone this week!
