Emotional Check-In

Hey, everyone. heart

Sometimes, it is difficult to be present to our emotions and feelings, especially when the emotions or feelings make us uncomfortable or seem very strong, like exhaustion, stress, anxiety, depression, fear, anger, and sadness. Feelings and emotions that we consider pleasant are easier to be present to and tolerate. One way to practice mindfulness is to check-in with our feelings and emotions in the present moment, regardless of whether we find them pleasant or unpleasant.

Remember that we are not our feelings and emotions, and its okay for us to set out the welcome mat for them in this moment. They are simply here, and we are observers of them.

So today, Im going to ask you all to check-in with yourselves and practice mindfulness by asking yourselves, How am I feeling right now? Then, if you feel comfortable doing so, write your answer below. Lets support each other. There is no "right" way to be or feel in this moment.

Emotionally, I'm feeling irritable, more vulnerable, and less patient and focused than usual.

Physically, I'm feeling quite exhausted, both sleep-deprived and tired from sleeping too much. My body feels achey, stiff, and sore.

I've been trying to reset my sleep schedule so that I can sleep at night and be awake during the day, instead of the opposite. It's been very difficult. I can't seem to do it the recommended way, with 15 minutes earlier to sleep for a time, then another 15 minutes earlier. The gradual thing doesn't work and I don't have enough time to be able to do that and meet my day time appointments and commitments. So I'm trying to brute force it by staying awake long enough to where I can sleep at night. But I keep failing and needing a nap in the middle of the day. It's been frustrating.

@Zeraphim

Thank you for checking-in ❤️

Hugs to you because this sounds incredibly frustrating! Trying to adjust a sleep schedule and function on little sleep is hard and can definitely cause us to feel exhausted, irritable, and achey. I hope that you get the rest that you need soon and that your sleep schedule falls into alignment with your needs ❤️

right now i'm feeling at peace

emotional mindfulness is something i've been working on a lot recently. i'm trying to see my thoughts and feelings for what they are and let them go. i've found writing and giving myself space in stressful situations has helped me a lot with this! :)

Just not happy with myself. Unable to do simple tasks. A big one is feeling judged and misunderstood by my family. Rather sleep then deal with thinking.

@quietKite5462

Hey ❤️ Im sorry that youre feeling misunderstood and judged by family. We often look to family as the people whom understand and support us the most, and it is frustrating when they dont.

Sometimes we lose patience with ourselves because we feel like we arent living up to our own standard or others standards; we dont feel that we are good enough. I want you to know that whatever is causing you to feel unhappy towards yourself, whatever these tasks are, you are definitely good enough just the way you are right now ❤️

I'm in a similar place, I'm trying to understand myself, and giving them understanding that they are facing many of their own problems. I still wish my family would bond and be supportive but I'm uplifted when I find new ways to support myself.

I am feeling somewhat okay. Last night I had a breakdown and sort of talked through it with my friends, but I still feel sort of blah. I also had both of my leisure activities cancelled on me at the same time which sort of sucks.

@Understandinggirl1990

good to see you 😊 breakdowns are an overwhelming thing to experience, as we release so many emotions and have so many thoughts during them. They can drain us and leave us feeling blah.❤️ Im sorry to hear about your fun activities being cancelled; I hope that you can do something else in their places today that you enjoy ❤️
