Self-Harm Recovery Daily Check-in: Saturday September 12, 2020
Hi everyone and happy Saturday! It's really smoky here on the West Coast in the United States because of the fires that are taking place, so if you're near a fire please stay safe and wear a mask if you need to go outside!
Today is a good day to practice some gratitude (every day is a good day to practice some gratitude)! I think there have been a lot of things that we've taken for granted this year, whether it's technology to keep ourselves connected with our loved ones, or our loved ones themselves, or just the simple things like coffee to keep us awake.
Check-in questions:
1) What there something that happened this week that made you feel grateful for any particular thing? (Example for me: fires happening to make me feel grateful for clean air) And how have you been this week and how are you feeling?
2) What does your upcoming week entail?
3) What progress have you made towards the goal that you set to achieve this month? If you haven't set any goals for this month, feel free to use this space to share some things you'd like to achieve :)

@TheAtticusFinch Thank you for this great post!
1) What there something that happened this week that made you feel grateful for any particular thing? (Example for me: fires happening to make me feel grateful for clean air) And how have you been this week and how are you feeling?
The weather becoming colder and the leaves started falling made me grateful to live where I do, I love autumn and I live in a place where we are known for our beautiful autumn season
2) What does your upcoming week entail?
My school is starting next week, so getting used to that!
3) What progress have you made towards the goal that you set to achieve this month? If you haven't set any goals for this month, feel free to use this space to share some things you'd like to achieve
A goal I had was finishing schoolwork, which I did! My next goal will be keeping up with all the new schoolwork I will be getting.
How would you answer these questions? 
@hopedreamlove
Hope hopey hopey!! Thank you for responding 🥺 Hehe it's so wholesome to hear you love Autumn so much! The leaves aren't as pretty over here in Cali, but I'm sure they look great wherever you are right now!! I kinda want to paint some autumn colors :P Ahhhhh school is starting next week for you? I wish you the best of luck! You got this, you're one of the most focused people I know. Staying on top of schoolwork is hard sometimes and I know you'll be able to do that! Rooting for you as alwaysss :D
Hehe you're asking me to ramble? I think the fires did definitely make me appreciate fresh air and I think the privilege of still having my house and having a shelter in general while people are getting evicted. My upcoming week.. oh my!! I have a math, ap euro, and chem test this week and probably an article to write from an org? And some interviews to conduct for the mental health club and some homework for school :) I'm slowlyyy finishing this book I'm reading :P progress! <3
@TheAtticusFinch
Hello!!
1) What there something that happened this week that made you feel grateful for any particular thing? (Example for me: fires happening to make me feel grateful for clean air) And how have you been this week and how are you feeling?
I've been feeling a lot lazy lately and I was getting behind on a couple of things but I thought to myself that I can be better and be gratefull for the things that I learn! I have been between okay and not okay this week but I'm pushing through.
2) What does your upcoming week entail?
Mostly school and organizing!
3) What progress have you made towards the goal that you set to achieve this month? If you haven't set any goals for this month, feel free to use this space to share some things you'd like to achieve :)
I've achieved turning my homework in on time this week!
Thank you for this! <3
@healinghearts0718
Hi! :) Really proud of you for trying to push through this week since I know how hard it is. Feeling unable to do a lot of basic tasks and that lazy dragging feeling is hard, I have felt that way for a while in quarantine and I have so much empathy for you <3 however, getting back up and trying to fight through (which is what you're doing right now) is more than admirable. I'm rooting for you! Best of luck with school and staying on top of all of that. :)
Hey there !! Hope you're doing okay, good luck with those fires, I hope it calms down soon ! Sounds like some sort of apocalypse :o Sending some fresh air for you !! :) <3
Good it feels like I haven't answered to a check in for ages x)
1) What there something that happened this week that made you feel grateful for any particular thing? And how have you been this week and how are you feeling? This week (like last week actually) I was at my brother's place, enjoying some time off work. As much as I love him and get on really well with my sister in law, it made me grateful for personal space. I realized how much I need my own little bubble now and again. Just enough time to be myself and not the person I am when with others.
2) What does your upcoming week entail? Going back to work :( I'm so not looking forward to it, I know I have important stuff coming up and it's not the interesting project sort of stuff, it's more of the boring, do overtime boring stuff ... But I guess it has to be done if I want the paycheck at the end of the month and it sucks but at least I have some coworkers in the same situation so we'll push through together !
3) What progress have you made towards the goal that you set to achieve this month? If you haven't set any goals for this month, feel free to use this space to share some things you'd like to achieve :) I didn't have any goals this month unless you include making the most of my vacation which, allthough a lot of people would disagree, I think was a success :) I didn't do much and it was great :D As for things I'd like to acheive, well my brother's just had children. So a long term goal would to help him and be involved with his kids. Not sure how it's going to go because I'm not very good with kids but I'll try my best !
@Slizzy564
Hi Slizzy!! <3 Ahhhh it does sound like I haven't been able to talk to you via the forums either! I totally get where you're coming from with wanting some of your own space. Totally valid! <3 You do deserve that and although I'm sure your brother + time off work is nice, I hope you get to get some Slizzy time soon! And good luck with work, it sounds like it's a bit more bearable with your co-workers with you :)) i can relate in a sense with school and friends who are in similar situations as I'm in. Awe! I'm sure you'd be great with kids Slizzy! You sound like a very patient and loving person and all kids need a bit more of that in their lives. And you're absolutely right that taking a vacation is a goal. It's currently mine😎😎since taking breaks is good for mental health and stuff hehe!! <3 Take care and thank you for checking in slizzyyyy!
@TheAtticusFinch
I know right ? I mean I haven't been on 7cups a lot, just to do the check ins and then making the most of my time off :) I'm back to work now so back to the old routine ... Not so fun but it has to be done ;) Hope you get to enjoy your vacation too !
Thanks for your sweet words :) Take care <3
