@amiablePeace77 I only use 7 cups. I don't use any other sites, I do look things up with my carers help though😁 I am on here quite alot, on and off throughout the days, I rely on this site when I'm in pain or in need of socialising. I know I'm on here a lot but I'm very limited to what I can do. So I don't know
@Tinywhisper11
I am glad that coming here gives you comfort! Are you still doing creative things, if I remember well you mentioned something about jewelry time ago and of course playing with your piggies 😀
@amiablePeace77 I draw and paint and make things😁 but no this past month I just haven't been in the creative mood. But I'm sure I will get some inspiration back soon ❤❤
I make sure to get up and walk once an hour, step away from the screen, every hour. I write down the number of steps I walk that hour, and keep track to see how many steps I do each day to not skip an hour! When I'm up, away from the screen, it's a "reset" or "reboot" for my mind, and I can exercise my legs, arms, stretch my neck, etc and also let my mind "relax" from the screen. It's a natural reset, that refreshes me and makes the next time in front of the screen intentional, meaningful, and purposeful.
Walking each hour keeps me on track and makes me more productive. It limits things I don't do and makes sure I do things I want/need/enjoy doing! Since I have to get up in another 40 or 50 minutes again - it puts a limit on the time automatically!
Most smartwatches have an "idle" alarm that tells you if you've been sitting too long. Set it to 50 minutes (not 1 hour) so you still have 10 minutes before the top of the next hour to get up and move around.
I plan the meetings to end before x:45 or x:50 so I still can get 10 minutes of walking in before my next meetings!
Walking helps productivity!
@onwardforevenmore
You're doing a great job in planning time for walking every hour! Our bodies need to be moved and especially in age when sitting too long can affect the knees too.
@amiablepeace77, i have been moderating my internet usage by alot but i could do better because i know that there are moments im on my phone sometimes from lack of motivation or pc from being bored, i made promise to myself to continue to maintain the house, self care or self love and get off the phone for awhile. Thank you for bringing this up🌺
@InsightfulPhoenix
Good that you take time for self-care and other things that need to be done at home!

I use the internet either for business or to play certain games that help my anxiety or to read a book on the internet while playing peaceful music in the background
@pamharley003
Sounds like you're responsible in how you use the internet, Pam! Games can be really good as short-term distraction. Do you have any game you would suggest to others when facing anxiety?
@amiablePeace77
the ones which help me are hidden objects because it makes you concentrate on the games
@pamharley003
Thanks for sharing! Good way to improve focus.
To ensure I'm respecting, loving and understanding this wonderful tool called the world web web I utilize helpful videos, spending time with positive people and goal setting with affirmations.
Happy World Wide Web Day everyone!

@amiablePeace77 I try to watch my screen time. I try not to compare myself with the limited information I see others share, since I don’t see the whole picture of their life. I try to be careful what I put online, since it is there forever, and I may not want everyone out there to see it. I try to be careful how I word things, since people can’t see my face or hear my voice.
@PiecesOfWhoeverIWas
Nice that you are mindful in expressing yourself to the outside world. It can prevent many misunderstandings and much harm!
