🎃This past week has been much better in the way of getting back on track in my goals and staying there. I've kept up with meal planning, tracking, workouts, water AND SLEEP!! (Which is usually the biggest issue for me most weeks). I managed 5 of 7days of meeting my own target sleep goal.
🍂 It totally rained this entire week (until today) ☁️⚡️☔️..... So I managed to stay on track with teaching my classes, and on off days, attending others classes, including "Virtual" classes in between. Today it finally stopped raining & we were able to get out with our 'Furbaby' and get some walking time in.
🎃 I totally Love the month of October for various reasons.... with all the rain & being stuck indoors, I was finally able to get some Halloween decorations up inside and on our front porch. And today after our walk, we were able to get some treats for Halloween before they are all gone! Mentally planning & thinking ahead for both Halloween and my upcoming birthday.. so it always feels like an exciting time.
👻 No major plans this weekend, but will attend a group fitness class in the morning that my friend is teaching...Get in my workout & steps.... Then start getting ready to close our pool for the season, do some outdoor fall-cleanup, & get our Firepit ready for some "S'more making treat time and bonfires~ And got a few Halloween movies lined up!... 🍂🍮👻🎃
ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND AHEAD~
Hi, all!! 🍁✨
This past week has been a bit stressful. My anxiety has been unusually high. So I’m quite exhausted. But finally coming down 🙏🏻
I need to lose a bit of weight so that will be my focus for the whole month, actually. I will do meal prepping this weekend to make sure I have healthy options readily available.
Chronic pain also flaring up and heavy rains daily, so less exercise than usual. My goal for next week in that aspect is to do my physical therapy exercises for back pain.
And I absolutely love the vibe and bright red in fall leaves 🍁!!! Definitely my favorite ❤️✨
Hope you all have a great week!
@holdingtohope
Hey there Hope!...Sorry to hear that you had a stressful week and that your anxiety has been high for you. I know how challenging that can be. But its great for you that you are finally coming down from it!
I love that you are able to find your focus for the month ahead! And that you are already in motion and planning (and prepping) for it all! That is awesome. Meal prepping is definitely a good idea to incorporate. It surely helps to keep you on track from meal to meal & day to day! Keep up the great work!
Sorry to hear that your exercise has been down due to the rains. And that your pain is flaring up. I know it can be difficult when we aren't feeling our best. (And also having weather that isn't cooperating as well)! But I love that again, you are planning ahead! And will be able to incorporate the PT exercises that you have available to you! That is awesome that you have a plan for yourself and not allowing it to hold you back!
And, ME TOO!.. I Love the "Bright red leaves" as well! Soo beautiful!
Sounds like you are really doing a great job for yourself. And that you are doing your best to prep and prepare for all the things you are focused on for yourself! Awesome work! Thank you so much for sharing this week. And letting us know how you've been doing. Continue to keep up the great work, and keep us informed on how things are continuing to go for you! And how your goals are continuing to move along for you!
Autumn is my favorite season. I love the ruffling dry leaves of gorgeous hues. My favorite color is burnt orange. Last week was good, bouncing back by a visit to my workplace and meeting a friend or 2 which was so rejuvenating. Soon the festival season will set in so added excitement is in store.
Cheer and love to everyone.

@RideaRainbow
Hey there Ride!.. So great to see you this week.
Autumn really is a awesome season for sure. And I agree with you on all the greatness that it brings and has to offer!
Thats good for you that your week went so well. And that you were able to meet up with a friend or two. It can definitely put us in a good place and rejuvenate us in doing something new, or in doing something that we enjoy. Including meeting up with others that we enjoy being with and spending time with them!
And I know what you mean about the excitement surrounding the fall festival season... Its been in full effect for the past few weeks where I am. Its surely an exciting time. With so much to see and do. And a chance to just get out and enjoy a great time. So enjoy yourself!
And thank you so much for stopping by to share with us this week. And catch up with us, and letting us know how you've been doing. Always good to hear from you :)
@PoliteOcean Here's how the past week went. Monday I went grocery shopping and also for a walk. Deysi had the rest of the week off because it was "Fleet Week" here. I caught a few brief glimpses of the Blue Angels. My new roommate Alan is working out really well. I'm still cooking my own lunches which is important to me. My sleeping habits are stable, but I live a very sedentary lifestyle. I'm watching psychology videos about 2 hours per day. Not much to report but my lifestyle is stable. No drama is good news. I'm still cocooning twice a day. For this upcoming week I'm going grocery shopping and for a walk on Monday. Wednesday I have therapy in the morning and acupuncture in the afternoon, and physical therapy on Friday. I'm studying the book of Ecclesiastes for my devotional life. I hope Deysi doesn't cancel on me during the holiday season. I need her to be more consistent. Hosted the sharing circle 5 times.
@Regmo
Hey there Regmo!.... Thats cool that you were able to get out on Monday, get your walk in. And that you were able to catch some glimpses of the Blue Angels. I had to go in and google what "Fleet week" was. Thats great for you that things are still working out well with your newest roommate! Thats really good news. I think its awesome that you are still continuing to cook your own lunches for yourself (and I do remember you telling me how important that was for you)! So that is really great to hear... Its good that things are going well & stable with your lifestyle & with your sleep activity. Getting good sleep is so important in the way that we feel and live from day to day. And in our healing processes (body, mind & spirit). I think its awesome that you are planning ahead, and have a walk planned for yourself on Monday. Its great that you are continuing to get out when able. And that you are keeping up with your appointments this coming week. Sounds like you have a good, full week ahead. I think its good that you are getting out for them, and it enables you to continue to interact with others as well. It's great that you are continuing to stay in your studies of the things you enjoy, and continuing to work on your devotional life. I'm proud of you! I really hope that Deysi doesn't cancel on you either. Do you think it would be feasible to have a chat with her about her upcoming plans surrounding the holiday season? Maybe it would help to make things clearer for you? And congrats to you on continuing to host the sharing circle! Sounds like you are really on the ball there with that! And that you really have found a great purpose there in doing so! Keep up the great work that you are doing here at 7cups with that and with everything. Sounds like a really nice check-in for you this week. Glad that things are remaining stable for you. Thanks so much for checking in, sharing, and letting us know how you are continuing to do!
I was sorta doing good but, ill just say the people I live with rn stress me out a lot, they talk about the same stuff and do the same stuff like robots and I love learning new things everyday but I have no one to tell, I try to teach them things but they hardly can pay attention without bringing up their topic again. I barely been eating, just turned 21 like 2 weeks ago, even tho im more of a smoker, i drank almost everyday by myself in my room, I was trying to have fun but it is really hard when ur alone for me atleast after a while. I should say I did go out one night with some family and their friends because I have to much anxiety to text any old friends, and I barely wanted to talk to any one new, im so awkward with no reason to be. this is to much I could go forever. sorry its random
@idkyetman
Hey there... So sorry to hear that things are dealing with stressors right now due to those that you are living with. I know it can be challenging living with others. Especially if you aren't "vibing" with them, or have much in common. Or if you even feel left out in some way. I think its great that you have at least tried to reach them and put in an effort. And even if it hasn't worked out yet, it doesn't mean that it eventually won't at some point. So good luck with that.
Sorry to hear that you haven't been eating much. Do you know the cause of why you haven't been? Hopefully things improve for you there going forwards.
And sorry to hear that you are feeling alone. Just know that we are here to support you.
Thats great that you were able to get out with some of your family, despite feeling anxiety to text old friends. Have those old friends kept contact with you or reached out to you lately? Do you know why are feeling anxiety about contacting them? Maybe it could be a great way to get together with them again. And not feel alone. Especially if you are feeling that you aren't ready yet to talk to new people. Sometimes things just aren't as natural feeling for some as they are for others. Especially when it comes to meeting new people. Perhaps continuing to meet in a small group setting of maybe 2-3 or 3-4, can help you to get to know others and begin to feel more comfortable?!
Just know that 7cups is here to listen. And we wish you all the best moving ahead! Thank you for taking the time to share and check in with us this week.
@PoliteOcean
This past week has been a pretty difficult one. I got unknowingly injured earlier in the week, and I had to go to several doctors to get it checked out. It was discovered that it was hereditary, and the wound was forming over time. In the next month or so, I'll have to go into surgery to close the wound. However, I have been feeling better as the days progressed, and after a nice self-care break, I feel ready to take on the new week!One of the goals that I had this past was to improve my self-care routine by going to bed earlier and doing more meditation. Today was my self-care break for the week, and I was able to accomplish the meditation piece! Hopefully, I'll be able to get a ton of sleep tonight!
I'll definitely try to make sure to keep track of how much I exercise and what I eat! Sometimes, during the holidays, I tend to slack off on my healthy route, so I hope that being mindful of my healthy habits will help keep things in check during the holidays!
My favorite fall leaf color is a gold-brown! It reminds me of the sun and pumpkin pie!
You sound like you are on a great track im very happy for you, Keep meditating exercising and giving off good vibes and I believe your gonna be just fine❤️💪Hope you heal quickly
@Nerdtastic01
Hey there!..
Sorry to hear that you had a difficult week and that you were unknowingly injured!
Its great that you were able to get things checked out with a doctor and that you are now on the road to getting things taken care of! I think its great that it was at least discovered. And now you can continue to have it dealt with! I'm sure its been a challenging time for you though, and just know that we are here for you! And its great for you that you have been feeling better as the days have progressed on. And that you took some self-care time and ready to take on the week ahead!
That is really awesome that you have continued to work on improving your self-care routine and working on your bedtime ritual as well as meditation. And that you were able to accomplish what you were working towards! And we hope that you continue to get great sleep in the nights ahead as you continue to work on your goals! Keep up the great work!
I think many of us tend to use the holidays as a time to take a step back with being stricter in our goals or routines. And there's nothing wrong with that. Its about knowing what you want for yourself! And how you want to proceed with those goals for yourself. And being mindful, can surely help you to move along with all of that!
Haha.. I love how your favorite fall color reminds you of the sun and pumpkin-pie!..Thats awesome!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share with us and stopping by to check-in this week to let us know how you are doing and how things are going for you!
Getting my life together again for my kids

🎃Hey Everyone! How has your week been for you?! It's been up and down. I've been fighting negative issues. . . Money is super tight. . . I keep trying to make steps forward, but I keep falling behind. I am missing a stimulus check, I know I am qualified for it, but I keep getting sites tell me that I am not. Grrrr. I am waiting on doctor issues before I could even consider a job. I also don't drive and cannot walk long distances without pain. I do not have any local friends and I keep getting scam psychics online saying I have a curse and it cause money for them to break it.
👻Its the end of the first full-week of OCTOBER~ What Goals have you set in motion for yourself this past week? I am working on a release book. I have a lot of anxiety.
What are you working towards or have planned for yourself? Writing goal, I want to finish typing up my one notebook. I also hope to walk more this week, but I have been fighting major knee swelling and pain.
🎃 This time of year can sometimes start to get stressful for many, as we start to near the end of the year, and start moving into "Holiday Mode", (and/or more treats are being offered!).....What are some ways that you keep this time of year a "Healthy" One for yourself?!
I love music and I color for mediation. I have been doing both.
👻JUST FOR FUN: Looking at the color of Fall leaves in the "Photo below", which color is "Your Fall Favorite"?! If you don't see it there, then what is your favorite fall leaf color?!
I love red and orange leaves.
🎃What have been your "Highlights or Struggles" this past week? How were you able to work through the struggles? My struggles are like boxing in a ring in which I keep having to repeat. . . getting a tied score and over and over. I think i conquere it and it comes back. . . grrrr
👻What would "YOU" like to talk about or share with us about your Week?! WE want to hear from "YOU"~ Please send prayers and good vibes,
@Rebekahwriter13
Hey there Rebekah~
Sorry that your week has been up and down for you... I'm sure that its been challenging dealing with negative issues, money concerns, doctor issues,....and I'm sure it makes it more difficult when you are unable to drive and it hurts to walk. Let alone people trying to scam you. I think inspite of all of that though, that the positive is that you stated you "Keep trying to make steps Forward"!.. That is really all any of us can do. Is to stay in the moment, not get too far ahead of ourselves, and continue to pray for the best. Things may not happen overnight, but we just have to continue to keep moving forwards in faith that will continue to come together.
I think its great that you are keeping yourself busy and staying focused in working on your books, and your writing goals. And its great that you have a goal in wanting to do these things and get them completed. And I think its amazing that despite dealing with knee pain (as I've been there and I know how difficult that can be), that you are hoping to get out and walk a little more this week! I hope that that goes well for you!
I think its awesome that you enjoy your music and coloring to help with your mental wellbeing! I know how soothing & relaxing both can be.
I love the Red and Orange leaves too... those are my favorites as well. So pretty during the fall.
I think its great that you are hanging in there even though things have been stressful for you. You are doing an amazing job. And we are here to continue to support you. And continue to send many good and positive vibes your way! And we thank you for checking in this week, & sharing, & keeping us up to date on your week and your health, AND letting us know how you are continuing to do!
This past week was pretty rough. I was depressed and didn’t do anything for several days then had a breakdown yesterday. Today I’m getting myself back on track. This week is by birthday week! 🎉🎂🥳 My fiancé had the brilliant idea of doing something fun each day this week to celebrate.
Overall I am working towards getting better at taking care of my mental and physical health. Some of my goals are to journal 4 days this week, meditate 3 times, go outside twice, etc. it really helps me get on track. I’m trying to get to a healthier weight so I am also trying to find ways to be more active. Even if those things are small.
Recently I got into yoga for chronic pain and illness and it’s helped a lot! I bullet journal and have a tracker for pain and I noticed that I have less pain after a workout. As far as being healthy during the holidays, I plan on spending minimal time with my parents and setting boundaries during that time. I also plan on getting into working out now so that it’s a habit by the time the holidays come around.
My fall favorite color is BURGUNDY. I have several pieces in my wardrobe that I am excited to wear. One highlight of this week was going to goodwill to pick out some Dark Academia style clothes for hotter weather. I love fall dress but you can’t wear many layers in Florida! 🥵 A struggle was obviously the depression and breakdown. I was able to get through it by reaching out to my fiancé for help. His presence does wonders for my mental health.
HAPPY SPOOKTOBER!!!
@SapphireSoul
Hey there Soul!...
Sorry to hear that the past week was a rough one for you... Depression can surely be a challenging thing to deal with and go through. But its so great for you that you are getting yourself back on track. Its also my Birthday month too... so I'm totally for celebrating the entire week. To be honest, even the whole month! lol... We only get one birthday. So why not make the best of it and have loads of fun!
I think its awesome that you are working towards getting better for yourself, taking care of your mental and physical health, and setting goals for yourself! I think that setting a goal to journal often, meditate & get outside more frequently, are ALL amazing steps to take to help you get back on track and help you in your overall wellbeing. And its great that you are wanting to take those steps to work towards a healthier "You". Just remember that EVERY Step counts no matter how small you feel they are! They ALL add up to bigger things! As far as activity, find something that you 'Enjoy' and love,... and it will never seem like work or a chore to do!... And its wonderful that you are finding enjoyment and relief in doing Yoga and that its helping you!
Knowing your limits, and setting the boundaries that you need for yourself with others, is an excellent way to work on your mental and emotional wellbeing and feeling better!
And making these changes, & taking these steps now, can definitely put you into motion towards a healthier you, not only by the time the holidays get here, but also "Through" the holidays and 'Beyond' into a whole New Year!
You are really doing a great job! And we are here to support you in any way that we can! We really would love to continue to share in your journey with you!. Please continue to keep us updated on how your journey is going for you. Or what we can do to help if you have any questions. We appreciate you stopping by to share with us, and checking in! Continue to keep up the great work that you are doing!
I am really not loving the changing if the seasons!! The darkness is depressing and the weather makes me not want to go outside even though that is something that cheers me up. Just gotta hunker down I guess. This too shall pass.
