@QuietMagic
Hey Quiet 💚
That's a good question.
I genuinely tell myself, no matter what comes my way, I can get through it, to just be me, no matter what happens and if I am me and stand by my principles in every situation, then I know I'll be happy with my choices 💚🤗
@Amanda84
Wow, that's pretty amazing to feel like "as long as I'm myself, my innate resources/values will help me navigate whatever happens" 💜
I've been thinking about me lately and my past. How if I didn't do one thing from my past, my world today would be totally different. I'm thinking I need to just choose me. It's probably time and long overdue.
@YourCaringConfidant
@YourCaringConfidant
Hey, that makes sense. If you've been doing the opposite (of choosing yourself) for a while but it's been a big struggle, and all of your experience feels like it's now shouting that things need to change, then maybe that's what needs to happen. It could be a change that wasn't possible before, but now things have ripened to the point where it feels possible/necessary 💜
@QuietMagic
🤍 What have you been thinking about lately?
Mostly the situations in my country has been on my mind.
💛 What's a deeply-held value or belief you have that you find is pretty stable and helpful across both good and bad times?
Well probably being optimistic at the end. I might nag and dwell on the past, or I might be pessimistic for the time being. But at the end, I'll always try to keep going or see the bright sides too
@daydreammemories
That's really powerful being able to let those two sides co-exist:
1) Things feel bad, there are things to be upset/unhappy about, those feelings are real, the awfulness of the situation is real, etc.
2) Optimism might still be possible or helpful (e.g. trying your best, finding the least-bad option in an awful situation, using whatever scarce resources you have at your disposal, etc.)
(I'm struggling to find words for what is happening where you are. Praying for you and everyone around you 💚🤍❤️)
@QuietMagic
Thank you very much. I appreciate it💚
@QuietMagic
🤍 What have you been thinking about lately? I have been thinking about finding employment, taking care of my finances with unemployment, being more involved in my church (which I am already doing), and working on my New Year's Resolutions.
💛 What's a deeply-held value or belief you have that you find is pretty stable and helpful across both good and bad times? God is there through the good and the bad, he always provides for us. Also, I am resilient and have a track record of getting through it all!
If you prefer not to answer these questions, feel free to say hello, ask for a hug, or share anything else that's on your mind. 💚
@peacefulvibes96
All of that sounds great 😊 Are those things you mentioned (employment, finances, church activity) connected to New Year's resolutions, or are those resolutions some additional projects/goals?
Glad that you feel like you have those two anchors supporting you (providence from God, your own resilience and past successes) 💜
@QuietMagic These are New Year's Resolutions for sure! <3
@QuietMagic What have you been thinking about lately? I have been thinking about my long term career goals lately. It seems every Dec-Jan I start obsessing over my career goals.
💛 What's a deeply-held value or belief you have that you find is pretty stable and helpful across both good and bad times? My christian beliefs of goodness and kindness.
@TCharanza
Makes sense, kind of like each year around this time, you take stock of where you are in your career and where you want to go. Do you find that that thinking has ripple effects over the rest of the year or leads to certain changes taking place career-wise?
Thanks for caring about kindness--the world needs as much of that as it can get 💜
