@LavenderFlower, 1. What makes a “great day” for you? Enjoying my day without guilt.
🎁 How are you feeling this week? I'm always nervous and anxious.
@purpleTree4652
Definitely feels great to not have guilt there 💜
What makes a great day for you?
My best days involve road trips, gardening, or creating something. Since it's winter I have to resort to the creating portion. Having a shop online that sells custom home décor is helpful (as long as the orders aren't too overwhelming). This year I've water-color painted holiday cards. I started with a small list of recipients to make sure I could get my finished cards sent out. There have been years that I've made cards and even addressed them but never mailed them so I'm giving myself a pat on the back for having mailed them this year. Not only did I get them sent, but I made a few extras for when cards arrive in the mail from those I didn't already send one out to, so that I can return the gesture.
How are you feeling this week?
I'm struggling. This time of year is always difficult for me, but this year I have some physical health concerns that are weighing on me. This makes it harder for me to manage my mental health. The positive is that I can see that I'm struggling and seeking help. It's been difficult because asking for help opens the door to rejection. I'm proud of myself for realizing those who I've asked for help who have not been able to be a support are also struggling with their own issues right now. It makes the rejection a little less personal. Being able to use wise mind takes the sting out of rejection.
@ARC80
Glad that you have the online shop to lean on for now. And the water-color painting holiday cards sound amazing! I think my jaw would be on the floor if someone sent me something like that. 😊
Sorry that the physical health concerns have been happening, and that makes sense that it would weigh on you mentally as well. That definitely sounds helpful being able to have that perspective of, "These people aren't here for me in the way that I'd like, but I can understand that it's not anything personal if they're really struggling and trying to focus on that." 💜
@LavenderFlower
🎁 What makes a “great day” for you?..... Anyday with my family (or on a tropical vacation) is a great day~
🎁 How are you feeling this week?.....Doing well~
@PoliteOcean
Glad things have been going well, and I guess being in a tropical paradise on vacation surrounded by loved ones sounds like a pretty good day to me too. 😀
@LavenderFlower
What makes a “great day” for you?
Spending time with my people I feel comfortable with, especially my partner. Nothing fancy, just hang out and chat or watch something.
How are you feeling this week?
Not entirely sure yet. I made my return to 7cups yesterday after a long break. Guess that counts as a step forward.
@OneErased
Makes sense, just spending time with people that feel comfortable and enjoyable to be around.
Welcome back. 💜 I hope that the break felt helpful.
