Not really bothered right now, just a bit cold and dreading going outside
I think it works best for me to break goals down in small bits, so probably small daily or weekly goals work best for me. I think I just procrastinate forever it I set a goal over a longer period
Can't really think of a unique habit right now, maybe that I take really hot but short showers idk
@Madaraismyspiritanimal
Hi Madara, do you enjoy the winter months much? It sounds like it
Hello @rebecca947 ! How are you?
I could be better today. I have an exam today, but I think I'll be okay for that. After the exam though, I have to go to a family therapist which I did not agree to. It's not about fixing the family, it's about fixing me, which I am all for but not through this kind of counselling. I do not feel comfortable going and I would rather one-on-one counselling thatn this. I don't want to go. It's causing me more stress than my exams.
Sorry for the rant.
I think a daily plan works for me right now. I'm very disorganized and have trouble thinking ahead, but I'm working on that, so I'm taking it one step at a time by thinking about what I have to do that day.
One habit of mine is constantly fixing my sleeves if I'm wearing something with long sleeves. I can never make up my mind whether I want them rolled up-pulled up or all the wa down, covering my hands. So I'm constantly messing with them. I just need to choose haha
Anyways, that's enough from me. I've got an exam soon. Take care!
@CentreMid
Hi Mid, Im doing fairly better than yesterday, thanks! How did the exam go? And Im sorry to hear about the family therapy- did you get asked how you felt about it? It sounds like someone has forced you into it, which doesnt sound helpful at all. How did it go? And Im all for the rants, this is your space to check in! ❤️
Its a good idea to do daily goals, then! Its not always easy to see the bigger picture of our long-term goals.
Hahaha sounds like indecision is playing a role in that! Ive actually not seen anyone do that before, so certainly unique in my mind! Take care of yourself. xx
Heya @rebecca947
My exam was alright. I think I passed.
You're right. I was forced into family therapy. I don't like it. I prefer one-on-one. As usual, as soon as we stepped into the door, it was all about trying to fix me. Sure, I've got plenty of problems, but it's not like the rest of my family is perfect. The only good thing that came out of that session was the therapist telling the rest of y family that EVERYBODY is contributing to the problem and that we ALL have something to learn.
Thank you for letting me rant. I kind of feel bad sometimes becuase I know you all have lives outside of this site and sometimes I feel like my giant text bubble gets a little long and overwhelming, kind of how it's going right now haha
Anyways, I have to get going. I still have a few more exams laft to go. Takce care! :)
@CentreMid
I'm glad your therapist reminded your family of that. It's sometimes so easy to pretend we're perfect and fine, especially if one doesn't believe in therapy or is too scared of being vulnerable in there. And rant to your heart's content. We're humans, but we chose to volunteer as well, and know what we're getting into. <3 And if one of us can't reply, I'm sure someone else will be willing to respond. xx
@rebecca947
1) How are you today? Is there anything you'd like to get off your chest? I failed two assessments today so I feel awful
2) What kind of goals work best for you? Yearly, monthly, weekly or daily? Daily
3) Whats a unique habit of yours? I always put on my left show before my right
@PurpleSnail
Hi Snail,
Im so sorry to hear that! :( It can be very tough hearing, seeing and knowing that we didnt pass on our exams/assignments. I definitely understand the feeling. You did the best you could in the circumstances that you had, and that is enough. ❤️ I wonder what the next steps for you would be, or your plan for the future?
It seems like daily works best for most people! Im more of a weekly person myself I reckon.
As for your unique habit, any reason why you do that? :)
Remember to take good care of yourself, especially during this difficult time. Journalling, distractions... I hope you dont feel too awful about it for too long. Take care of yourself, please. xx
