Self-Harm Recovery Daily Check-In: Monday, October 12th, 2020
Heya everyone! It’s Monday again, happy new week!
I don’t know if you have heard about vision boards, they consist in putting on a board (or paper) all your current goals and where you’d like to get, it can be short-term, medium/long-term, it doesn’t matter! The point is only to put on this board what you’re envisioning for yourself, whether it’s where you’d like to be ideally in 5 years or what you’d like to have soon, what you’d like to do and so on. Short and long-term goals are really important to get us going as they represent some kind of milestones to reach: you’re not running indefinitely, you’re running until this milestone, and then until the next, and until the next – in the end you still run but having milestones along the way can feel more motivating and rewarding!
1) How would you describe how you’re doing in a weather forecast style?
2) What is going well and not-so-well lately?
3) What would you put on your vision board?
Feel free to share anything else in your mind! I’ll be looking forward hearing from you all!
Take good care of your amazing selves, stay safe <3

1) How would you describe how you’re doing in a weather forecast style?
Overcast with light rain throughout.
2) What is going well and not-so-well lately?
I'm making a life for myself. I don't know how to make a life or what I want from it. It's a lot of work as well.
3) What would you put on your vision board?
The sea captain form the Simpson's. A cabin in the woods. Cuz I want to be the crusty old guy that lives on a boat and has story's. As will as a decent cabin in the woods when the boat is getting repaired or a place to store my junk when it's not on the boat.
@Flornhope
Heya ! I’m very sorry for my delay, I was at a seminar for work…
What you’re saying about making a life for yourself reminds me a lot of this quote “I don’t know where I’m going but I’m on my way” it’s tough to figure out where we want to go and how to actually get there, but at least when trying you’ll get somewhere!
A boat, stories, and a cabin, this all sounds really nice! Thanks for sharing and sorry again for my delay in answering, have a nice day!
@LinearWaves No worries on the delay. I'm often quite late myself. Thank you. Your quote reminds me of something I heard. I don't know where I'm going but there's no sense in being late.
@LinearWaves, hey there!
1) How would you describe how you’re doing in a weather forecast style?
It"s a cloudy day. It means neutral.
2) What is going well and not-so-well lately?
I set a few habits that could help me in the future, and it's going well. I felt productive about it.
3) What would you put on your vision board?
I would develop skills that could help me in the future. Basically, I'm going to put the skills I want to develop on my vision board.
Thanks for the check-in and take care.
@LovelyOrangeJuice
Hey there ! Sorry for my delay in answering, I was at a seminar for work !
It’s good to hear you’ve set new habits that could help you and that it has made you feel productive, it’s usually a great feeling! Keep up the hard work!
Sounds like a nice vision board! Are there skills you’re currently developing already, or about to work on?
Thanks for checking in and sorry again for how late I was in answering, have a nice day!
@LinearWaves
The skills that I put in the vision board has made progress.
Apology Accepted. I appreciated replies despite the delays. :)
1) rainy and cold, just like the actual weather today
2) lots of rumination, no matter how much I distract or give in and dedicate time to focus on it. Not much focus or motivation on anything else. What's going well though is my professor is giving me help with a project which I appreciate and I got some work done even with the fogginess
3) interior designs I like that inspire calm. I like the color palette autumn and winter so probably that color scheme through all the images. A photo of my pets and an old photo strip of me and I friend when I was six... which don't really point to the future but help me remember I was innocent for a time, not always bad to be around. And then some minimalist interiors for bedroom inspiration
Thanks for the check in
@Lexloveslife
Hey there Lex! I’m sorry for my delay in answering, I had a seminar for work!
I hope the weather got better since the start of the week, as well as how you’re feeling!
Ruminations can be tough to distract yourself from, it’s like they just go on loop in the back of your head no matter what you do… I hope you found a way to distract yourself from them or to solve them somehow. It’s good to hear though that you’re getting help from a teacher on a project and have been able to get work done, well done!
I like how you’re including things from the past in your vision board, maybe in a way it’s good to keep a reminder of how we used to be, to kinda keep our “essence” despite the challenges that we have to go through and that can toughen us up and make us lose this innocence.
Thanks for sharing and checking in, and sorry again for my delay, have a nice day!
