**AND ANY & ALL THAT WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH US~
☀️ This past week was well overall... Last weekend on Saturday, although I woke up to an issue with my shoulder, I spent the morning with a Zumba class to start the day, then a bit of Shopping & road-tripping in the afternoon, & a little Dining-out later in the evening.... On Sunday/Mother's Day, thankfully the Shoulder issue started to resolve... And I spent early on with a Workout at home then Outdoor time & a Walk with love ones after... In the afternoon we then came together with Family for a Mother's Day get-together. A really nice weekend was had.~
🌷 Throughout the week I was on track with my work, food, fitness, tasks, goals, & intentions... (Hydration & Sleep were also actually pretty well & on better track for a change)!... The weather has continued to be pretty nice & pleasant, so also lots of continued time spent outdoors & walking in the Sunshine.... I also managed to get in alot of Deep-cleaning & purging of my Closets. And it felt amazing to "De-clutter" this week from old things & clothes no longer needed~ And also to "Free-up" some extra space!... I Just have a few more things to get done before starting the Summer season in just a few short weeks away, (Such as cleaning & opening the pool, pressure washing & some mild gardening)... I'm honestly Hoping to have all or a majority of that completed by the end of next week before the long Memorial Day holiday weekend starts~
🦋 This weekend ahead will start some HOT Summer-like weather coming our way here~ Intentions are for early Zumba classes to start-off both days with a workout.... There will also be a Huge weekend-long Festival going on, so looking to getting out to check that out as well while enjoying the weather~... On Sunday, hoping to start (& even complete) some of the above mentioned tasks after Zumba class & before starting a new week ahead.~
HAPPY WEEKEND~
@PoliteOcean
Hope you have a lovely weekend, Ocean.
For our trip to the beach, I’ll bring:
Art supplies, apple pie and affogatos!
@ACozyBunny
Awwws!!! Thank you Bunny 🐰!! I hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead!
And save me some of that Apple pie!! 😋 Yum! 😋 🍎 🥧
@PoliteOcean
Of course! I’ll bring plenty so everyone can have second slices too!
@PoliteOcean I was sick all day Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Then Wednesday and Thursday I had multiple diarrhea episodes. Friday I got a bad head cold. Thursday John moved out. The problem is that neither John nor Leslie told me he was leaving. It caused me a lot of stress. Leslie evicted him because he couldn't pay the rent. Leslie came back on Tuesday. I went to the library and then for a walk Wednesday and Thursday. I had to drop out of my Philosophy course because it's way too difficult to concentrate with John here. I'm reading "Rebecca" and a new philosophy book. Sifa and Leslie have been serving a lot of fake food the past two weeks. For this upcoming week I have a massage on Monday and a consultation with my dentist on Wednesday.
@Regmo
Hey Regmo~ Wow it sounds like you’ve had quite a challenging week?!.. I suppose if John couldn’t pay his rent though that it was inevitable that He would get evicted. That’s too bad as I know you were concerned about it… But you said you couldn’t concentrate on your philosophy course with him there. If he’s no longer there then perhaps you can continue with it?… It’s good that despite the challenges that you were still able to get out & about to the library, out for a walk, as well as starting to read a new book. It’s also a good thing that you were able to get that consult appointment with a dentist regarding your tooth. You will have to keep us updated on how things go with that situation going forward. And Thanks for checking in to share your week.
@PoliteOcean
Turned my phone off last night and got an early night, feel all the better for me it and not at all guilty 🩷😁
Enjoy your weekend Polite.
I would bring a radio, a bag of snacks and a smoothie, handy my user name starting with a 😂😂😂💙
@Amanda84
Yesss! That sounds awesome & relaxing. (I did a similar thing & got an early night myself). Doesn’t it feel wonderful when we take care of ourselves?!! NO need to feel Guilty for that!! Ever! 😃🤗
“A” radio, “a” bag of snacks etc…. (I see what you did there)! 🤭 💕🤭
Enjoy your Weekend “A”manda, lol… And as always thanks for checking in to share with us!
Blueberries, beachtowel, bluewater 😊
My week was hard, and ive just been surviving and thats enough for now. Im fighting for myself and its tiring and i need a helping hand , someone besides me that is safe and will help. Mostly atm all i need is love & care ,from people and others and to find a balanced ground in my hardtime.
Good thing would be i made yummy burritos last night 😋 and also have been trying to be offline a bit espc at night even if its just my phone.!
@berrycheesecake90
Hello there~ 🙂
Sorry to hear that you had a hard week. It’s good that you know that however you are feeling that you are surviving & that it’s “enough”. And also that you are able to continue fighting for yourself & pushing through the best that you are able to do.
Just know that we are here to support you at 7Cups however we are able to & that you always have a “safe & helping hand” here! 🤗
And it’s also wonderful that you were able to take care of yourself by treating yourself to some of those “yummy burritos”! 🌯 It’s fun to treat ourselves when we can.
Also great job to you on trying to be offline at night & trying to create some healthier habits there for yourself. Small steps add up to bigger ones! So Keep up the great work! 👊🏼
Thank you for checking in to share your week with us. And please continue to keep us updated on how things are going for you!
@PoliteOcean
My week was very intense. Very stressful family issues right before a long 4-day weekend trip. I felt some guilt, but I couldn't change anything about the situation, so I tried to make the most of the present moment.
🌷 I can hardly believe we're already in mid-May, time flies so fast... Regarding my goals, I think I've made good progress!
🦋 Yes, I think I receive the 5 C's. I am relatively isolated, but less and less so, and I'm very happy about it. I'm also learning to focus on and feel gratitude for all forms of socializing, whether it's through messages, the internet, in real life, just saying hello in a store, watching the cats and birds I cross paths with...
🏖️ Just for fun: I was actually at the beach! Water, waffle, wallet!
Highlight of the week: my trip to the beach surrounded by wonderful, caring people, I had so many great moments, the sea is so beautiful. The challenges were the family issues, but I managed to ask for help, tried to react rationally and tried not to panic (more or less successfully), tried to breathe through it... I'd say my reaction wasn't too bad.
🦋 This new week, I'm motivated to be more active, I hope I'll succeed. I wish everyone a beautiful week!
@whimsyLeaf7957
Hey there~
Despite what you felt was an intense week for yourself, it’s great that you were able to push through it. And that you were able to make the most of the “present moment” in it all.
It’s also a wonderful thing that you feel you are making good progress for yourself so far this month! 👊🏼
It’s definitely a positive that you feel you are receiving the “5 C’s”… As well as learning to focus on & feel grateful for the opportunity to make “connections” for yourself (Whether big or small)! That’s Certainly a great attitude to carry!
Despite the challenges of your week it’s great that you were able to see the highlights in the midst of those things. Being at the Beach & taking time out at the Ocean is surely a proven & beneficial way to relax, unwind, & just breathe through whatever is happening around you. It’s definitely an amazing way to get centered & find some peace! (I’ll be on my own way there in a few days as well)~ It’s always something to look forward to. And definitely what I consider to be a “Happy place”~ 🌊
Great job to you on pushing through the week & trying to keep a good attitude. As well as finding & feeling the motivation to be more active! We definitely wish you all the best in your success there! What are your intentions & goals to be more active?! (Only If you wish to share that is)? 🙂
Have a great week yourself & keep up the great work. Thank you for checking in to share with us. And please keep us updated on how you’re doing in your goals!
@PoliteOcean
How was your week & What are your plans for the weekend ahead?! My week wasn't terrible. I'm done packing except for the last minute things, so I was able to relax a little. However, I packed candle lighters and I found out that the movers consider them hazardous. So I had to find the box they were in and remove them. First I tried to just reach into the boxes and feel around for about where I remembered them being positioned. That didn't work. So I had to unpack every box until I found them. I didn't want the truck to catch fire and for it to be my fault so I was determined. After about a dozen boxes, I finally found them. I prayed to God and rejoiced.
🌷 This is our "3RD" Check-in for the Month...~ We are now Officially Half-way through May~... How do you feel that you've been doing so far in any personal intentions or goals that you have made or created for yourself for this Month?! I managed to get through the packing and have been continuing to work on things ahead of my move. I've done well.
🦋 In Continuation of May's Mental Health Awareness Month, "The 5-C's" of Mental Health are "Connection, Compassion, Coping, Community, & Care... They act as a Framework for building resilience & emotional well-being... Together they promote a "Healthy Mindset" by focusing on Relationships, Self-care, Managing Stress & Fostering a Sense of belonging... Do you feel that you receive the 5- C's from others on a regular basis?... If you feel that you haven't, do you think this hinders you in any personal wellness goals for yourself, if so How (if you wish to share)? I don't. I think it makes me awkward in personal relationships. Instead of getting the positive self-reinforcement from them, I have to teach it to myself. Maybe when I move I'll make new good friends.
☀️ JUST FOR FUN: We're going to the Beach!... You can only take "Three" things, foods, (or a mix of both) that begin with the FIRST Letter of your 7-CUPS name!.. What are you bringing?! (I'll start: Phone, Purse, Pup)~ phone, purse, pizza (not)
🌷 What were your "Highlights or Struggles" of the week?... How were you able to work through your Challenges in a Healthy Way? I took breaks when I needed and slept alot as long as I had the time, considering that I'm moving in two weeks.
@purpleTree4652
Hey there Tree~
Well it definitely sounds like you’ve made a lot of progress in your packing for your upcoming move. And it seems like things are finally getting down to the wire for you on it all… Just a matter of time now.~
It’s good that things came along there as you needed. And that you were also able to find what you were looking for. (I would’ve been a mess too in trying to make sure I didn’t cause any hazards or harm to anyone). So great job on finding what you were looking for despite having to do a heavy search of things. But at least it’s taken care of & you don’t have to worry now~
And As you stated, hopefully once you move you will be able to make the friendships & connections that you feel you need in your life… And since the move & schooling will be done & out of the way, it sounds like you will now have some extra time for yourself to relax a bit & get centered on how you want things to fall into place for yourself going forward.. Making connections, building relationships and creating the life you desire can now be a great way to focus on your future ahead.
Thanks for checking in to share your week & of course please continue to update us on your continued progress & the big move ahead!
@PoliteOcean
How was your week & What are your plans for the weekend ahead?!
this week been very hard due to the weather really changing so much and fast each day it effecting us badly today almost passed out in hobby lobby home aid had to check out for us as we found place to site down
hoping to be able to go to church Sunday have not been able to go in few weeks miss going out being around others
Do you feel that you receive the 5- C's from others on a regular basis?... If you feel that you haven't, do you think this hinders you in any personal wellness goals for yourself, if so How
we do not feel we have this weekly as far as the 5-=Cs online helps some but really not have them offline most the time
yes this effects our personal wellness goals a lot at times we not able to connected much with people offline ones we do connected with be very caring and listen to us but the connection very limited and not everyday we do have few that when we reach out they have compassion for us not feel offline we part of the community but do feel that here on 7 cups
we been having big issue with coping with some things
@stormieandpaws
Sorry to hear you had a hard week. It Sounds like you might be getting some hot weather where you are? Especially if you passed out?!... This time of year can get tricky with weather, & we definitely have to keep up with staying cool & staying hydrated where we can. And also carry water bottles with us if we are away from home. Just to be safe! It’s really great that you had help and was able to find a place to just sit & rest! That’s also very important.
That’s lovely that you are wanting to get to back to church. I miss Church too as I haven’t gone myself in awhile. I agree it’s nice to be out around others when you can & are able to go. And I hope that you get to go sometime soon! I’m sure it’ll help you to feel great mentally, emotionally & Spiritually!
Sorry to hear that you feel the 5-Cs isn’t something that you are able to get while offline. But it is great for you that you have been able to find some of that for yourself online. And we hope that 7Cups is apart of that feeling for you whenever you are here with us! And that it’s able to help you build up or build upon some of those wellness goals for yourself!
Also Sorry to hear that you’re having some coping issues. That can definitely be challenging depending on the situation. But having, practicing & utilizing some small skills that you may have learned over time (even here at 7Cups) could potentially help in ways, & in some areas of life when trying to cope with some matters. Whether in our group support discussions, a 1-1 Chat with a good caring listener, or even through extra support in the different communities here & small group sessions. Hopefully you’ve found some benefits there that you can lean on during challenging moments!
Thank you for checking in to post & share your week with us. Please continue to keep us updated and n how things are going for you.
@PoliteOcean
thank you a lot for us in due to weather changing fast as it make the air pressure change fast due to the chronic traumatic brain injury that due to our many years of abuse and being knocked out a lot that make us hypersensitive to a lot sadly all due to the years of abuse
we been online since Dec 1998 even owned forums/chats over the years but we closed the last of them in 2017 due to the plate-forum they was on end up not having many members also they was upping cost for members and owners sadly that hurt them badly we tryed many places to chat but they was awful so that how we end up here got to say this is one of the best places we been over the years too
we really want to return to going to church so hoping more answers found medically and we can morning be the hardest
we otherwise doing mostly good but yes the medical stuff effects every part of our life now some of it from the abuse
Week was improving. Outside of work is always a blessing and good to exercise and recover. Finish up house work for weekend. Remember to not go to work on Memorial Day. Enjoy my time off.
@MoonLightShadow423
That’s great for you that your week was improving. And that you have found the blessings in your life away from your work experiences.
And awesome job to you on continuing to exercise as well as allowing yourself time to recover! Recovery is definitely just as important! 👍🏼 .. And yes, getting your house work done & prepared in order to Enjoy your time off for the Memorial holiday is definitely a blessing as well. Good for you on planning some enjoyment time ahead.
Keep up the great work that you’re doing for yourself. And thank you for checking in to share your week. Please keep us posted on how things are going.
