🌞 This week was well... I started off the week by taking a getaway to the Beach for a few days... There's just something about watching & staring at the Ocean that makes things better mentally & emotionally.. as well as soothes the soul.~ I did not completely stay on track this week (except with Hydration) as its been so incredibly hot. But I did manage to get in Plenty of Walking & steps around the beach & boardwalk for activity. And also got to do alot of window shopping at the beach (adding more steps).
🌴I was home by Friday & was able to get back to & attend Aqua Zumba class and get back on track again. It's one of my favorite classes of the week.....It was so incredibly hot at the beach as well as humid, & I returned home to exactly the same!... (And the week ahead looks just as sweltering)... So hopefully I can get out earlier or squeeze in some time here & there for walks with the pup.
🌊 This weekend ahead has so far been a busy one.... I got up early to get in a morning Zumba class, then we have been purging our home of old things, junk & furniture. I had to get rid of my old living room set which has gotten quite worn over the years, and had a new set delivered today. So I also had to get the living room clean, clean floors, etc.. beforehand. Then on to squeeze in a few errands after outside as well as inside the house. I want to start my week ahead "mentally fresh" and get back on track with my goals for this month. (And of course, squeeze in a Movie night later).~
@PoliteOcean
Hi, Ocean,
I'm glad to hear your week was enjoyable, albeit hot and humid.
Hey All~ Happy Weekend... On a Scale of 1-10, How are you doing today?....What's on your agenda for this weekend ahead?
I'm a 6, which is incredibly good for me...maybe even a 6.5 or a 7. I'll send you a dm about it.
This weekend I am writing a paper and reading for school. Also time to change the sheets and do other planning.
🌴 This is our "SECOND" Check-in for the Month of JULY, and Already, just like that, we are almost half-way through the month.... Using Only an "Emoji", Tell us how July has been going for you so far! :( and :0 and :)
🌊 What is something that brought you some Joy, Peace, or that you were Mindful of this week?!... I was offered a job.
🏖️ JUST FOR FUN:... (Fill in the BLANK)~ No matter How many ________ I have, I always have the urge to buy more?!

🌞What were your "Highlights Or Struggles" of the week?.... How were you able to work through your challenges?! Struggles of the week...I am trying to break my lease but my leasing office is not being communicative. I decided to call the local housing authority and ask for help. I was also offered a job, and I accepted. I start in one month...provided all goes well.
@purpleTree4652
Hey there Tree! Thank you as always for your kind words. ❤️
That is really wonderful For you that you are doing well (& that you consider your scale “incredibly good”this week)! Amazing for you. :)
It looks like things are continuing to stay busy for you with your schooling?! I hope that all is going well there too!
I think it’s great that you are also considering the possibility & option of breaking your lease to get out of it. Especially if it’s going to be a more positive move for you in the long run as opposed to staying there. You have to do what is best for you! And it sounds like you’ve made a good call for yourself to talk to the housing authority. Hopefully they can help! 🙏🏼
OMG!! How AWESOME for you that you have been offered a job! That is EXTRA great news for you! And that you are going to accept the position! ( I will follow up with your DM after I finish responding to everyone). Can’t wait to read up on your news!!
Thank you for checking in & sharing your week with us, as well as all your great news! Definitely keep us updated on things and all the details of the new job! 🙏🏼
@PoliteOcean Love the beach theme ^-^ and yes July's going like the wind
What is something that brought you some Joy, Peace, or that you were Mindful of this week?!...
The beach, this month I've found myself going to the beach more and more and the sound of the crashing waves is so peaceful.
No matter how many art supplies I have, I always have the urge to buy more xD
What were your "Highlights Or Struggles" of the week?.... How were you able to work through your challenges?!
Not yet over it but I'm trying affirmations to get over some fears ^^
What is something that "YOU" want to talk about, add or share with us this week?! .... WE want to hear from YOU~
I think I've been wanting to focus more on the mental and physical well-being. For me both are related and I get the best result if I work on both.
Thanks for the awesome questions :)
@BlueDarkAurora
Hey there Blue!~
So glad to hear that you enjoy the Beach theme! (Nothing but beaches here in Healthy Living for the summertime)!! 🌴☀️
I see that you as well enjoy the Beach?! 🏖️ Gotta love it right?! How awesome that you are able to go frequently. And yes I truly agree that being there & hearing the waves 🌊 can be so peaceful! I just visited myself this week for a few days and I never want to leave. I could sit out there all day!
How lovely that you enjoy Art supplies! Art is definitely fun. I’m no artist by any means, but I too enjoy Art such as painting... What kind of Art do you enjoy?
I think it’s great that you are using affirmations to get over your fears. Whatever works right?… Hope it continues to help! … And it’s really awesome that you are working to focus more on BOTH your physical & mental wellbeing. As it truly does all go “hand-in-hand”. You can’t be complete without it all being well & in alignment. Keep up the great work you are doing!
And Im so glad you enjoyed the questions today! Thank you for checking in this week and sharing with us! Please continue to keep us updated on how you are doing and how things are going for you!
@PoliteOcean aw hope you get to have a lovely house by the beach so you can stay there as long as you want <3
I like anything involving art but my main focus right now is painting ^^ Also thank you so much for taking the time out to read and respond<3 :)
@BlueDarkAurora
Aww.. You’re so welcome. I enjoy reading everyone’s posts each week and catching up on how everyone is doing. :)
And thank you so much for the kind words! I will hold onto that dream of having that house by the beach one day! ❤️🌊 🤗
@PoliteOcean This makes me happy :D Oceans are always the best *-* <3
@PoliteOcean This past week I went to the library three times and went for a walk three times. As you already know, Darren came by for an interview on Wednesday. I called him Saturday morning but he didn't answer. I have another man Gary who also seemed to be interested but he hasn't come over for an interview yet. Tunde is going to be gone starting on Monday for 5 weeks. Stuart hasn't been yelling as much. Leslie doesn't wash her hands after she uses the toilet. Sifa doesn't close the bathroom door when he urinates. I've been reading my book "Letters to Milena" by Franz Kafka. I bought Chinese herbs to help me sleep but I'm worried about negative side effects. It's not a sedative but it changes the energy flow through the body. I also bought some chlorella but it won't arrive until Monday. The kitchen here is really unsanitary so maybe my body has been fighting germs making me feel fatigued. I'm going to try to cut down or eliminate eating a candy bar once a day. Leslie's dinner's are so terrible I need something tasty to wash it down with. I hope I can get a replacement for Tunde right away and don't have to wait.
@Regmo
Hey Regmo~ That’s great that you were able to get to both the library as well as get out for your walks 3 times this week! That’s too bad that you weren’t able to reach Darren but it’s good that you still have someone else lined up. Hopefully for you the interview works out…. It’s also great for you that you’ve been able to read your book. And you’ll have to keep us updated on the Chinese herbs you bought & if you took them & if they helped. It is possible that if you are in such unsanitary conditions that you could be fatigued & fighting off something. I’m totally OCD about cleanliness for those reasons alone… not to mention so many others! Thats good that you are going to cut down on candy bars too. I kind of got off track a little myself the past week. And our bodies can certainly feel that when we don’t keep up with healthier choices… So here’s to us making positive changes in the week ahead! And as you said hopefully for you a replacement will happen sooner rather than later as far as another caretaker/driver. Keep us updated on how that situation goes and thanks for checking in and sharing your week.
@PoliteOcean
Ello :3
🌞 Hey All~ Happy Weekend... On a Scale of 1-10, How are you doing today?....What's on your agenda for this weekend ahead?
I would say 5 out of 10. I'm alright! My agenda for this weekend is to rest.
🌴 This is our "SECOND" Check-in for the Month of JULY, and Already, just like that, we are almost half-way through the month.... Using Only an "Emoji", Tell us how July has been going for you so far!
So far, July has been "😞💔"
🌊 What is something that brought you some Joy, Peace, or that you were Mindful of this week?!...
Something that brought me peace was remembering that circumstances can change. 🌱
🏖️ JUST FOR FUN:... (Fill in the BLANK)~ No matter How many ________ I have, I always have the urge to buy more?!
No matter how many candles I have, I always have the urge to buy more! 🕯️
🌞What were your "Highlights Or Struggles" of the week?.... How were you able to work through your challenges?!
My highlights of this week was getting a lot of work done! My struggles this week was having mental breakdowns. I overcame my struggles by reaching out to crisis lines.
🌴 What is something that "YOU" want to talk about, add or share with us this week?! .... WE want to hear from YOU~
Something I want to talk about is how hard it is to rebuild life after experiencing systemic oppression. Finding allies and support systems takes energy too. 7 Cups has helped me a lot by distracting me from sad thoughts, it gives me structure.
@LittleEggHarbor
Hey there 👋🏼!~
That’s good that you are doing alright today. And hopefully you will also get the rest that you need this weekend!
Sorry to hear that July hasn’t been the best for you so far. Hopefully that will change for you & things will start to look up!
I think it’s wonderful that you are keeping a positive attitude and outlook. And that you found peace in knowing that (yes), things & circumstances can change, (& for the better)!
I too love candles! Especially theme candles (pumpkin for fall, apple pie for Christmas, Fresh scent to start the new year, coconut or pineapple for summer) etc… what kind do you like?!
How awesome that you were able to get alot of work done this week! I think it’s great when we feel accomplished. And it’s wonderful for you that you were able to push through your struggles of mental breakdowns by reaching out to crisis lines! Those can be wonderful resources! Good for you and great job! 👏🏼👍🏼
Yes it can surely be challenging to rebuild after certain situations as well as finding the right support & allies.. But it’s so great for you (& all of us here) that we have found help in 7cups! And that it’s also keeping you distracted & gives you structure. I certainly felt the same way when I joined! So I get those feelings! And we are glad to have you here.
We are here to support you and thank you for checking in this week & sharing with us! Please continue to keep us updated on how you are doing!
@LittleEggHarbor Keep up the good work. I'm cheering you on. I have confidence in you. I have overcome many struggles so I know things can get better.
@PoliteOcean
🌞 Hey All~ Happy Weekend... On a Scale of 1-10, How are you doing today?....What's on your agenda for this weekend ahead?
Scale 1-10, I think I'll give myself a solid 7 so far. Feeling slightly overwhelmed by the future, but I am trying to let myself enjoy the present. My sister found a new K-drama for us to watch this weekend, so I'm excited to binge watch that with her.
🌴 This is our "SECOND" Check-in for the Month of JULY, and Already, just like that, we are almost half-way through the month.... Using Only an "Emoji", Tell us how July has been going for you so far!
One emoji, okay. 🥴
🌊 What is something that brought you some Joy, Peace, or that you were Mindful of this week?!
I completed 10 chapters of my story!!!! Yes, I am still being consistent with the writing course and there is supposed to be a total of 20 chapters, so I have reached the halfway mark. I am very proud of myself for writing a chapter every week consistently. Doubted myself a few times, but I pulled through.
🏖️ JUST FOR FUN:... (Fill in the BLANK)~ No matter How many baking tools I have, I always have the urge to buy more?!
🌞What were your "Highlights Or Struggles" of the week?.... How were you able to work through your challenges?!
Worrying about the future and what it holds for me. There is a lot more pressure with school and what I'm going to do. It started to get overwhelming and I was feeling stuck in my current situation. One of the ways I worked through it was taking walks every other day. Going outside the house and just exploring around, clearing my mind for 30-60 minutes really helped.
@JollyRacher
Hey There!~ Great to see you this week~
How wonderful for you that despite feeling slightly overwhelmed, that overall you are doing & feeling well and trying to enjoy & stay in the present. Great job to you there… And how lovely that you & your sister get to spend some time together & binge-watch something that you both enjoy! Have fun!!
Wow, completing 10 chapters sounds like a lot of time & work spent on your story! That’s quite an accomplishment. 👏🏼 Great job to you on Staying consistent with your course! We have no doubt that you will continue to succeed and achieve your goals there! Keep up the great work 👍🏼!
((Wow ..Baking tools?!)), what do you like to bake?! **personally waits for Jolly to bake me something spectacular 😉.
Thoughts of the future can certainly bring on many various feelings... And feelings of worry (or apprehension) can definitely be scary & challenging, but are definitely normal!… The “not knowing” is the hard part. But we think it’s awesome that you were able to fight & work through the feelings & emotions by doing something “Healthy” for yourself. How amazing for you that you were able to clear your mind & take control of your thoughts by getting in walks (& exploring). Walking is definitely a great energy release, as well as a wonderful way to help clear our mind & thoughts about things. It helps to relax & releases great endorphins. And overall is a wonderful basic activity for the body & mind (physical, mental & emotional)! Keep up the excellent work! It sounds like you are doing quite well overall! And we are here to support you. :)
Thank you for checking in & sharing with us this week. Again it was great to see you. Please keep us updated on how things are continuing to go!
@PoliteOcean
🌞 Happy Weekend to you too! I'm doing a solid 8 today, thank you for asking!
This weekend, I plan to unwind with some reading and maybe a bit of sketching. It's nice to have some downtime after a busy week.
🌴 July has been 🎨 so far!
🌊 This week, I found joy and peace in reconnecting with an old friend over a long video call. We hadn't spoken in years due to busy lives and different time zones, but catching up felt like no time had passed at all. It reminded me of the importance of nurturing meaningful connections and how they can bring such warmth and happiness into our lives, even from afar.
@wishfulForest1871
Hey there~ 👋🏼
It’s great to hear that you are doing good this week! 👍🏼🙂
Good for you for taking the weekend to relax & unwind. Weekends are definitely great for that. We hope that you enjoyed all the relaxation that you could get !
How lovely that you were able to reconnect with some old friends. Technology can definitely be a great thing in those instances. And you certainly know that you have a great friend when you can pick up like nothing at all! Friends like that can be hard to find. How wonderful for you that you both had the time & opportunity to continue to nurture that connection!
Being at the Beach & listening to the Ocean definitely has a way of helping us to get centered & simply connect with ourselves. As well also to enjoy & appreciate all the little & simple things in life. I find it also helps us to be mindful of what is actually important!… Other than being with my family, it’s my most favorite place to be! There’s nothing else like it.
It sounds like you are doing really well, and taking care of yourself mentally, emotionally and physically. Keep up the great work! And thank you for checking in and sharing your week with us. Please continue to keep us updated on things.
Thank you so much for your kind words and insight â¥ï¸ð¤©
