Self-Harm Recovery Daily Check-In: Monday, August 10th, 2020
Heya everyone! Happy Monday!
This fresh new week has only started and on my end it already seems like its going to be a difficult one, soooo lets all grab some smiles, weve got this!
Today I wanted to talk a bit about inspiration. Inspiration feels like such a weird thing, of course we can all do things without inspiration, we only need motivation. Yet when being inspired by something, it feels like going through the whole process takes much less energy. It generates almost infinite motivation, its a tiny spark that manages to lit up a whole fire! Inspiration can be felt thanks to many things around us, whether its books, movies, quotes, people, stories, songs… and it can inspire us for so many things: daily routines and decoration ideas but also much bigger things such as changes in our lives, overcoming our struggles, going further than we would normally have… and most importantly, inspire us for recovery! So Im wishing us all to get inspired more often!
1) How are you doing?
2) What is going well and not-so-well?
3) What is something that has inspired you (at any point of your life, for anything)?
4) What song would describe your current mood? Or what song would you like to share?
Feel free to share anything else in your mind! Ill be looking forward hearing from you all!
Take good care of your amazing selves, stay safe <3

1) How are you doing?
I'm good, just struggling through this heat wave 😓
2) What is going well and not-so-well?
Met someone I really like online, met him in person as well last week, we had a good time together. Only real issue is that we live pretty far apart 😕. Bit I'm just enjoying it right now.
I've found an apartment for myself, which is exciting, but my aunt (who I currently live with) has expressed that she doesn't like the apartment, thinks it's dirty and neglected. While, when we went to look, they were in the middle of refurbishing it. Anyway, you could say it's not really going as smoothly as I'd want it to
3) What is something that has inspired you (at any point of your life, for anything)?
Your Lie in April has inspired me to love the people you have and not hate the people who hurt you
4) What song would describe your current mood? Or what song would you like to share?
I always like RPG by Sekai no Owari (or the cover by Lefty Hand Cream), because it's about unity and supporting one another. And I think the world could use some more of that 😊
@Madaraismyspiritanimal
Hey there Madara ! Its good to hear youre good! Although yeah, this heat wave is a bit of a pain..! I hope the temperature drops soon enough and in the meantime, dont forget to hydrate :p
How lovely to hear youve met someone online that you really like, and were able to meet in person! It sounds tough though that youre living far apart… It has positive sides too though especially when getting to know someone, as you can take plenty of time to discover the person! I hope that despite the distance you can still spend nice times together, either online or with meeting up in person every now and then!
As for your apartment hunting, Im sorry to hear its not going as smoothly as youd want it to go. Im all heart with you and crossing my fingers that you can find the right place for yourself!
I just read the synopsis of Your Lie In April and it sounds like a really lovely and deep story, Im glad to hear that it inspired you all that! Between loving the people you have, not hating the one who hurt you, and also supporting each other, these are all important things that we could use more for sure… Thanks a lot for sharing and for checking in, take care!
@LinearWaves
Hi!!
1) How are you doing?
I'm doing good today finally! Last week was bad and it hit harder because it was my first bad week in months but I'm finally okay again!
2) What is going well and not-so-well?
Well I'm back on here again so that's good lol my day just started I slept alot after swimming and walking lots yesterday! Not so well is he heat it's making me so lazy but I think I'm going to buy a portable ac so it's not so miserable anymore.
3) What is something that has inspired you (at any point of your life, for anything)?
My friend inspired me to care about me put me first for once. I can't think of anything else honestly since alot of mental abuse happened about a year ago I can' remember anything and it scares me.
4) What song would describe your current mood? Or what song would you like to share?
The lazy song by Bruno Mars lol! Just feeling extra lazy! I also want to share breathing by Ariana Grande because sometimes we forget to ust relax and take a breathe when things are hard.
Have a wonderful day lovelies! 
@itidc
Hey there ! Its great to hear youre finally doing good, especially after that last week! Its true that when not doing good, especially when weve been okay for a while, it seems to hit us even harder…
Well done and swimming and walking lots yesterday despite the current heat wave! Doing anything just takes so much more efforts/energy with the heat, I hope that portable A/C can help you out!
Im truly happy to hear that your friend inspired you to take care of yourself first! For some it can be easily forgettable, or even feel selfish, but we really need to take care of ourselves first, else how could we take care of anyone/anything else if we dont start with our own selves? :p Also, Im really sorry to hear about the mental abuse you went through, and how scared it makes you that you cant remember anything. Im all heart with you and youre incredibly strong! I dont know if thats the case, but often, our brains tend to forget the things that hurt us too much, as a way to protect us and to recover from it.
Thats such an appropriate song for the moment! Well both are! Thanks for sharing them and for the reminder! Take care!
@LinearWaves
Thank you so much we just ordered the ac it should be here soon I'm so excited! I def understand that I can't really remember my childhood because of verbal abuse. I thought so too I really like the Ariana Grande song!
Hey hey :)
1) How are you doing? Good :)
2) What is going well and not-so-well? Didn't sleep well at all last night so this morning was quite an experience with the heat and all that, not the best of times but done my yoga and feel better now :)
3) What is something that has inspired you (at any point of your life, for anything)? Generally I'm inspired by nature, I just love sitting outside and coming up with random things that can relate to my feelings. I'm also inspired by my dad and brother, they're just so unapologetically themselves, like wow I want to have that confidence too.
4) What song would describe your current mood? Or what song would you like to share? Oh sharing songs, I like this ! My recommendation for the day is : Eye-water by Hiroyuki Sawano (Attack on titan OST).
Take care <3
@Slizzy564
Hey Slizzy ! its nice to hear that youre doing good, especially considering you got no sleep last night… I really hope this one will bring more rest, despite the heat wave still around! Hopefully yoga will bring you better sleep!
Nature definitely feels like an endless source of inspiration! No matter the season, the thing youre looking at (sky, flower, tree, insect, animal, river, stone…) there is just so much there to get inspiration from! As for your dad and your brother, its great to hear that youve got these inspirations, its not easy to just be ourselves and society doesnt help with that, so its an amazing thing that youve got these examples! Plus hey, confidence builds over time!
Not going to lie, your song recommendation of yesterday inspired me the song question :p Thanks for the recommendation, its really a beautiful song, I dont know to what event it corresponds but it sounds like something beautiful is happening or building slowly!
Thanks for checking in, take care and rest well!
@LinearWaves
Haha I don't even bother counting how many times I wake up through the night now x) Don't know about sleep, but it's helping me feel better in my body :)
There's so much in nature ! :) As for confidence, we'll see how life goes yeah ? Maybe it'll come one day, maybe it won't x)
Haha gald I inspired something, which is the topic of the check-in ;) To be honest I can't really remember which part of the anime this corresponds too. I think it was the beginning, world building and all that, though I might be wrong. I've listened to this OST so many times that I have no idea whereabouts in the anime the songs are x)
1) How are you doing?
Im in such a great mood!!! I started school today, and I feel like I'm finally getting my life back together :)
2) What is going well and not-so-well?
well: school :)
not well: idk, I feel like I was in an odd funk the other day, but now I feel better which is good :)
3) What is something that has inspired you (at any point of your life, for anything)?
painting!!
4) What song would describe your current mood? Or what song would you like to share?
hmmm I don't really know what song to describe me hahahahah...but an artist I love atm is girl in red :)
How was your day?
@kennedi143
Hey there Kennedi ! Its so good to hear youre in such a great mood and feeling like youre finally getting your life back together! Have you started school in person again?
Yay for painting! Did you manage to finish the portrait you were doing?
I didnt know this artist, Ill check her out!
My day was alright, thanks for asking, and for checking in, take care!
@LinearWaves
Thank you so much for responding ❤️❤️
Sadly we're going to be doing virtual learning for a while, however once the cases come back down we'll hopefully be back in school soon :)
I'm almost done! I've been taking a little break from it - due to school - however I plan on finishing it either this or next week!
Take care! 💗
