How are you feeling today?.....I've had better days, but also not. So I'm just somewhere in between right now.
What is something that helps you feel peaceful?....My Family and the Ocean~
@PoliteOcean
Makes sense--things are neither great nor terrible. 💜
Having supportive people sounds very nice. And it gives me some warm feelings to know that you picked something that feel peaceful for you for your username/profile picture. 😊
@QuietMagic1. How are you feeling today?
I’m feeling marginal. I was attacked by hornets today and got stung at least 6 times. I’ve been resting a lot today.
2. What is something that helps you feel peaceful?
My meds help.
@purpleTree4652
Wow, that sounds painful. 😮 Hoping that the hornet stings feel better and resting sounds good.
Glad that the meds have been helpful. 💜
@QuietMagic
Hi magic! I feel pretty good today. I think drawing, eating well, and doing self-care activities help me ^^
@LavenderFlower
That's great. 😊 And glad that you have those activities that feel helpful.
I feel like eating well is pretty underrated. It's happened to me pretty often that I'll feel unwell and thing something is wrong mentally and then I'll realize I've either eaten junk food or have forgotten to eat.
There is a place I go that always makes me feel at peace with life. Maybe not always my life but I guess life in general and it’s the beach. After my breakdown I couldn’t deal with even the smallest thing like paying a bill or conversations with others. I would go to the beach 4-5 days a week. I Only left the beach if I had a job to do. I wasn’t able to go this year which is the first time I didn’t go in a year since I was a teenager. I only went one time last year. I can close my eyes and see it and put my conch to my ear snd almost positive I hear the waves hitting the shore!!! I can smell the air when I smell my collection of shells. I wonder if that can be considered useful for being mindfully? Since it’s more imagining I can use my senses.
@kindTurtle3738
That sounds like a really special place. 💜 It helped you a lot when you were going through your breakdown, and you're now able to have a vivid imagination of it where just focusing on that visualization feels like it has a calming effect.
It looks like other people have used visualization and guided imagery as a form of mindfulness meditation. 😊

@kindTurtle3738
Hi there Turtle! I think there is something so calming about the smell and sounds of the beach. I feel like it's a place that can really help you ground yourself. I really hope this year you will be able to go more often!~
I personally also like the sound of the waves on the shore, it's rhythmic. Almost like music!
- I’ve seen been better days
- Being with my wife and kids
@mellon58
Sorry that things haven't been great recently. 💜 Hope you're able to spend some time with your family since that sounds like something helpful.
Holding a while for myself helps me alot...
@freshOasis7877
You mean like just pausing and allowing yourself to rest and feel/be whatever is there? That's something I've found helpful too. 💜
Hello all!
I’m new, but love the fact that people are involved in this subcommunity!
How Are You Feeling Today?
Today, I feel excited for what the week will hold; I have a busy work week and can’t wait for Friday already!
What Is Something That Helps You Feel Peaceful?
Spending time with my loved ones, drawing up a hot bath, or cuddling with my cat Noodle!
I’m so excited to meet y’all and hope we can connect soon! ❤️
@dberryy
Welcome! I see this is your very first forum post, so you weren't kidding when you said you were new. 😊 Just in case if you haven't found it yet, there's a Newbie Hub forum that includes a Welcome Pack for new listeners.
It sounds like your week is going to be busy but exciting. (I'm feeling similar; there's a lot to do, but I'm looking forward to the satisfaction I'll feel after I've destroyed all of my tasks lol.) Those activities you mentioned sound amazing. Hopefully you can relax come Friday.
@QuietMagic
how do I feel? Angry, very angry. Temprimental and just like the odd one out, with a hint of feeling like a COMPLETE fool whilst questioning my own version of reality.
A feeling of peace? The knowledge that we don’t live forever combined with knowing I’ve tried.
@Pointlesswords
Sorry that things have been infuriating. Is the anger related to what you mentioned in another post today that a listener rejected/blocked you (and then feeling like a fool for trusting them)? Or is the anger about a different event?
That's something I take solace in also, the fact that a lot of dumb/difficult things tend to be temporary.
