Self-Harm Recovery Daily Check-In: Thursday, August 13th, 2020
Heya amazing people! Are you tired of me yet? :p Happy Thursday everyone! I promise I'll be brief on this one!
I know I insist on self-care often, but sometimes we can get caught up in our daily lives, with work/studies and all the chores there is.... and forget about self-care! But self-care is really important, we need to take good care of ourselves. It's like a tool, if you don't take care of it then how is it going to keep being as efficient as it usually is? So as this lovely pic says: consume self-care often!
1) How are you doing?
2) What is the low of your day? Can you do anything to make it better/feel better about it?
3) What is the highlight of your day?
4) Whats your own recipe for self-care?
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 hey :) Never tired of you :)
1) How are you doing? Okay ? I'm not fantastic but I'm not bad.
2) What is the low of your day? Can you do anything to make it better/feel better about it? There wasn't really a low in the day. I mean I meant to do more stuff at work and didn't have the time but I can't help that.
3) What is the highlight of your day? Slept better so I had more energy ! :) Enjoyed my yoga today :)
4) Whats your own recipe for self-care? Oh I'm not good at these things but I'd say : sleep, nice shower, something yummy to eat ? Oh and music obviously ! I like the simple things you know. Yoga is being a good self care activity because it's teaching me to be kind with my body which is something I was struggling more and more with.
@Slizzy564
Hey there! It's nice to hear you're not feeling bad, despite not being fantastic I guess it's always a good compromise!
Unfortunately days can't be extended! I hope you manage to catch up on work though!
Yay for better sleep an enjoyed yoga, that sounds pleasant! I'm definitely in need of better sleep as well, aka the cure to everything (or at least to a lot of things)
The great thing about self-care is that it doesn't even need to be sophisticated or fancy! It can be the simplest things really and these things can still have a great impact no matter how simple they are! On another note, it's really good to hear that yoga has been helping you be more gentle with your body especially since you were struggling with that, I'm glad you found yoga!
Thanks for checking in and letting us know how you're doing, take care!
@LinearWaves
1) How are you doing?
This morning was kind of intense. I spent like 4 hours listening to other people's stuff, and then in the afternoon I was beginning to get anxiety and feel frazzled. So I took a nap :)
2) What is the low of your day? Can you do anything to make it better/feel better about it?
That, plus I'm a little worried I may have somewhat overshared, in an effort to help someone.
3) What is the highlight of your day?
I am going for dinner with friends now and its going to be amazing :) :) :)
4) What
@1morday
Hey there ! It definitely sounds like you had an intense morning listening to others! I hope the nap helped with the anxiety?
I can understand your worries about oversharing… are you somewhat worried the person might talk about it or use the info in any way?
Yay for that highlight, I hope you had a great time, especially after such a filled day!
This sounds like a really great self-care recipe! Taking a day off is definitely an important one!
Thanks for checking in, take care!
@LinearWaves
I am not really worried the person will say anything. I'm more worried that it was indiscrete / unprofessional. It will be fine.
ALso I gained 4 lbs since yesterday and I never want to eat again! But will have to force myself, I suppose... :)
@LinearWaves
How are you doing? I'm not doing very well today.
2) What is the low of your day? Can you do anything to make it better/feel better about it? My daughter isn't coming home tomorrow. She is going camping with her dad this weekend.
3) What is the highlight of your day? I got out of the house and spent some time with my daughter.
4) Whats your own recipe for self-care? I'm not great at self care. I try by writing or listening to music.
@RedHawk6547
Hey there ! Im really sorry to hear that youre not doing very well today and that you wont be spending the weekend with your daughter… Its nice though that you could spend some time with her today! Do you have plans with her soon so as to look forward them?
Self-care can be tough, its great that youre trying, Im proud of you for that! Plus it sounds like great self-care to write and listen to music!
Thanks for checking in, take care!
@LinearWaves
1) How are you doing?
I'm good, broken record here, but still struggling through this 2 week heat wave 😫
Other than that pretty swell
2) What is the low of your day? Can you do anything to make it better/feel better about it?
Playing a game on my phone and feeling like my luck was none existent, feeling better about it now that I've put the game down
3) What is the highlight of your day?
Going to the petting zoo, seeing the animals and happy kids and their parents never fails to make my day or week
4) What
@Madaraismyspiritanimal
Hey there Madara ! Its good to hear youre doing good, i can definitely understand how you must be struggling through the heat wave… here the temperature finally dropped down, I hope that happens too in your place!
Some days are just weird when it comes to luck, its like our luck took a day off? Its good to hear though that youre feeling better about it now that youve put down the game, its sometimes the best thing to do when luck is nowhere to be found!
This sounds like such a lovely highlight of the day!
What a great self-care recipe! Honestly I think the bad singing along is a secret ingredient making it even better :p
Thanks for sharing, take care!
@LinearWaves
Ahhhh Linear this is late but i wanted to complete this anyways :P
1) How are you doing?
As of now I'm doing really well! I'm honestly really satisfied with my place in life right now and just doing really well :) Yesterday (since I'm writing this in the early morning of Saturday) was a really really good day for me and I just felt really happy in general. (I'll go into it in the third question)
2) What is the low of your day? Can you do anything to make it better/feel better about it?
I think the only low of yesterday might have been some procrastination of an assignment that I was doing? Even that wasn't a real "low" for me, it was just an obstacle that I eventually got over really quickly.
3) What is the highlight of your day?
Yesterday, I got to take some really pretty photos! <3 They turned out really well and I got to use one of them as a new profile picture. I also got surprised by my club advisors for being the mental health club president yesterday! :D It was so cool and they came to my house and took a picture and it was really fun in general and so exciting!
4) What
@TheAtticusFinch
Heya Atticus! Its never too late :p
Im really happy to hear youre feeling satisfied with your place in life, it sounds like an incredibly peaceful and fulfilling feeling <3
Yay for photos! Theres something really satisfying about managing to get a picture right! Also, congrats on being mental health club president! It must have been a really pleasant surprise and a great way to get the news!
Self-care comes in many forms and as long as the result is there, aka taking care of yourself, including your body and your mind, well then goal achieved! Plus it sounds like a wonderful (and very realistic when we have lots to do) idea to just add mindfulness activities here and there throughout the day!
Thanks for sharing, take care!
