Self-Harm Recovery Daily Check-In: Monday, July 13th, 2020
Hello amazing people! A new week is starting again, I really like how it can represent a fresh start, for starting a new healthy habit, for setting a goal, for getting back on tracks with things, anything you set your mind to!
Sooo to start off the week on the right foot and make the most of it, how about we stay mindful about our batteries? I dont know about you but I know I tend to realize only afterwards that my batteries are empty, which is pretty useless as then I need a longer time to recharge them. Maybe by checking them more often and being more aware of it, there could be ways to implement more appropriate self-care when starting to feel a bit low, or making things better when theyre just normal, or keeping things great longer.
1) How are you feeling? How are your batteries?
2) What could you do at the moment to fuel them more or keep them from draining?
3) What are your goals/focuses/plans for the week?
4) If you were to make a bucket list (a list of things –travels, hobbies, experiences…– you want to do at some point) what would be in it?
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

Hey everyone!!!!
1) How are you feeling? How are your batteries?
Today is a ‘meh. Its a good thing, actually, because yesterday and the days before Ive felt (way) worse than this. Its just a bit of improvement but I believe its good :)
2) What could you do at the moment to fuel them more or keep them from draining?
Hh, I dont know. I dont feel like doing anything right now.
3) What are your goals/focuses/plans for the week?
Just survive the first week of school. Im already exhausted even if its my first day but...yeah, I hope Ill live ^^
4) If you were to make a bucket list (a list of things –travels, hobbies, experiences…– you want to do at some point) what would be in it?
Honestly, I dont have any xD I feel like I just want to have a happy and peaceful life while trying out new things along the way.
Thank you for the check in! Everyone take good care~
@Hydrangea03
Heya Hydrangea !
Then its good to hear youre feeling meh ! Improvement is definitely good, even just a bit, I hope it keeps improving until you feel much better!
It sounds like a great goal, I definitely get how tiring it must be to start school again, I wish you good luck for the rest of this first week! Did you start again in person?
That sounds like a great life plan! I definitely wish you a fulfilled and happy life full of great adventures!
Thanks for sharing, take care, and good luck!
Yes I agree, improvement is improvement no matter how small ^^
My school is still online, but its still equally as exhausting :) In fact classes have just ended right now, Im so relieved!
Thank you!! The same goes for you :D
I hope youre well @LinearWaves!!!
@Hydrangea03
I actually find that online can be even more exhausting, not sure why though haha! I hope you can rest well in between them!
@LinearWaves
1) How are you feeling? How are your batteries?
Honestly amazing my batteries are full. Last night I wore myself out by doing dishes and folding laundry then went to bed and slept 12 hours oops! I got up showered, took my meds and refilled them, fed the animals, cleaned up their icky sutffs, and started laundry! Finally a productive day and I'm so happy! All I have to do now is hang up laundry when it's done, brush my hair and cook dinner later! 
2) What could you do at the moment to fuel them more or keep them from draining?
I'm taking care of the house but making sure I also take care of me. Oh I'm also hanging out with my doggy and listening to music! 
3) What are your goals/focuses/plans for the week?
Well tomorrow is a holiday so we are hoping to head to the eiffel tower to see fireworks! I want to eat less chocolate I'm eating too much and gained a little from it, I do want to practice better hygiene, start working out and take care of the laundry this week!
4) If you were to make a bucket list (a list of things –travels, hobbies, experiences…– you want to do at some point) what would be in it?
Oh man there's so much I'd love to travel the world! I want to learn how to bake (We don't have an oven), I want to get good at drawing and writing. Um kinda stupid because it would never happen but one day I hope I can open up to my mom and she will actually listen but I know it won't happen so I'm over it and working on me. I def want kids soon like in a year or two!!
@itidc
Heya !
Yay for full batteries thats so great to hear ! It sounds like getting all this chores done (congrats on that, folding laundry is my absolute worst lol) tired you out, it sounds nice that you had such a productive day!
Its really good to hear that while youre taking care of the house youre also making sure to take care of yourself, great job on that!
Oh that sounds cool! Here in Lyon they apparently cancelled the usual fireworks… Ive never seen it from the Eiffel tower, it must look really nice! As for your goals of eating less chocolate, working out, better hygiene and doing the laundry, I wish you the best of luck for that, youve got this, step by step you can do it! What kind of work out do you plan on starting?
This sounds like such a good bucket list! Its so good to hear of all the plans you have and I hope you can have them all realized! Although Im sorry to hear about the fact you dont think youll ever be able to open up to your mom and that shell really listen… its good though that youre over it and working on yourself despite it not being possible, I definitely get how tough it must be but I guess some people are just not able to listen…
Happy 14 Juillet, have a great time, take care!
@LinearWaves
Hi
Aww I'm so sorry they cancelled the fireworks :( This is my first time seeing them at the eiffel tower! Thank you so much, I want to work on everything lol mainly my tummy I lost weight but my tummy doesn't want to coperate and loose weight too lol. I'll probably just find a youtube video honestly.
It's okay I know how she is and I'm okay with it, it's no big deal. It was hard though because I only saw her true colors now for 2 years but I know now.
Happy Juillet you take care as well! I hope you have an amazing day!
@itidc
The tummy is a hard zone for women when it comes to "storing"… Plank (and plank-like) exercises could be helpful I guess! Sissy Mua has some nice workout videos on her youtube channel if you want to combine working out plus learning some French along the way :p
Wow it must have been tough to see her true colours only after a long time… I tend to have these realizations on people after quite a long time too and it hurts probably more to realize it all later :\ It
@LinearWaves
Very true! And thank you so much for the reccomendation I'll for sure check her out I can't wait!!!
It's really crappy honestly, and me too!
I just came back from the fireworks at the Eiffel Tower and it was so pretty and amazing!!!! 100000x better than the little town I'm from!!
@itidc
I saw some short videos of the fireworks at the Eiffel tower and they definitely looked amazing! I'm glad you had a nice time!
@LinearWaves
Thank you and they were so pretty!
1) Well Last night I had a nightmare where I even cried I think it was because yesterday I had a bad day. So I didn't sleep well and for that I got a shower in the morning and did some exercises because I have a body ache. My battery isn't full but I'm trying my best to feel comfortable.
2) as I said before I did some exercises and I'm trying to stay positive and do some Uni stuff.
3) I have a group work for Uni and we have to do a video for the next week. I have to focus on that because it's my last subject before the winter holiday over here.
4) Well, as I said I'm about to start the winter holiday so I want to start reading fictional books again, play the guitar, go for a walk with my friends again (here quarantine is starting to be more flexible) and anything that would get my mental health better.
@Gagaintheroom
Hey there! I
@LinearWaves hey all happy Monday 💛
1) How are you feeling? How are your batteries?
I am okay, I didn't sleep too well but I had a pretty good day, I'm happy. My battery is a bit worn out at the moment.
2) What could you do at the moment to fuel them more or keep them from draining?
I think since it's the end of the day, I'm going to try to sleep a bit earlier.
3) What are your goals/focuses/plans for the week?
I want to help my dad find a new job, and to be happy. I plan on starting a routine for myself because it's healthy.
4) If you were to make a bucket list (a list of things –travels, hobbies, experiences…– you want to do at some point) what would be in it?
I want to see Britain, and get married, and be a teacher
@lovelyplumeria
Hey there!
It
@LinearWaves
1) How are you feeling? How are your batteries? I am not feeling very well. My batteries are currently dead, I am trying to recharge them but it feels like the recharger is broken.
2) What could you do at the moment to fuel them more or keep them from draining? I am already doing a lot, but as I said it doesn't seem to be working. I suppose I just need to be patient and keep breathing.
3) What are your goals/focuses/plans for the week? Uh, surviving? Apart from that, practicing self-compassion. Trying to understand myself and what I really want. On a more practical side, I have to work on an assignment for uni.
4) If you were to make a bucket list (a list of things –travels, hobbies, experiences…– you want to do at some point) what would be in it? Do more hiking, visiting Scotland and Iceland, oh and the States. Going back to London. Having some weird food experience.
@admaiorasemper
Heya Valeria, I
@LinearWaves
I have the time to do the hikes, but I don't have the energy. Where do they sell rechargers?? Wish you a nice week Waves, thank you for the check-in.
1) How are you feeling? How are your batteries?
shaken up from a conversation with a friend. I'm not feeling very resilient right now. Anxious and SH-ey. I can't sleep so they're not recharging. I guess it's better that I can talk to you all. I'm grateful.
2) What could you do at the moment to fuel them more or keep them from draining?
its all fine. just rest in bed, i guess.
3) What are your goals/focuses/plans for the week?
bike 250 miles and keep self-care tools intact outside of my normal routine.
4) If you were to make a bucket list (a list of things –travels, hobbies, experiences…– you want to do at some point) what would be in it?
tourism in japan. bike the camino, and bike in Iceland. get some online credits in psych. work out something about nutrition.
@1morday
Hey there ! It sounds like youre having a pretty challenging time, between that disucssion that left you shaken up, feeling anxious, not resilient and SH-ey, plus the lack of sleep… Im glad youre able to let that out on here and I hope you can hang in there and get some rest! Are there some things that usually help you when feeling anxious?
Wow that sounds like a long distance to bike! Are you going to go somewhere specific or just bike near your place?
That is a cool bucket list! I hope you can cross some out of your list sometime soon! Thanks for sharing and for checking in, taker care!
@LinearWaves
I was biking a trail of about 250 miles, 5 days in a row with friends. I won't say where, lest I comprominse my anonymity :)
@1morday
Of course! Wow that sounds that sounds like such a cool thing to do, especially with friends! I hope you had a pleasant time and were able to relax (mentally at least since your muscles worked!)
