I finally have the coming week off from work. Had been working non-stop since July. Only had 3 days off in August, where one of the days that I called in sick for.
A constant challenge is trying to earn that first $ for my business.
What matters most in my life right now is to be financially stable. That has been a struggle the past year.
This coming week, I'll be trying new recipes for dinner. It's nice to be able to cook. Being home alone has its perks. Better enjoy as much of this alone time before I'm back to work in October and before my brother returns from vacation.
Hey Jae, its lovely to see you!
It sounds like a much deserved break from work. You have been working none stop lately, I cant even imagine. I hope that you get lots of rest and time to relax and recharge. Cooking some new recipes sound fun. I wish you all the luck with your business. Keep up the great work jae. Have a great week ahead <3
I start school again next week. My final semester, chronic illness permitting. Thankfully only one class is in person but it's early in the morning so I have been practicing waking up early.
What matters most right now academically is actually just helping my bf! I'm giving him a laptop and will be helping him get his GED.
Besides just waking up earlier this week, I want taking a morning shower (to get out of bed ASAP and stay awake!!) to be a part of my routine too.
@JarofSeeds627 Good luck with your semester! That's so nice you are helping your bf. I hope you do some nice things for yourself too. :)
@JarofSeeds627
Thanks so much for joining our checkin! Good luck with the start of your semester, that is so nice and helpful of you to help your boyfriend, I know he must appreciate it greatly. I hope you have a great week ahead <3
@FaithfulZareia
Hey Zareia!
Hope you're doing well! 💝
💮I've been busy recently! I was able to complete my internship for 7 cups this week so that's the good news :)
As for the struggles, I really have to work on my focussing skills, our sub-community has given me some great ideas to reduce distractions so I'm still working through them!
I'm also trying to get involved in research positions but no luck yet.
All in all, I'm excited for the new month and hopefully everything will fall into place soon!
As always, thank you for checking in and take care!
Hey hey strawberry! Thanks for joining our checkin this week! Lovely to see you,
Congradulations on completely your internship! that is a huge deal and something you should be really proud of.
I can relate to the challenges of staying focused and on task, I hope that the new strategies work and help improve your ability to focus, I hope that you are having a great month (:
❀How have you been doing lately? The good? The challenges? ❀
I am doing okay. I had a difficult conversation today, but I am proud of myself for getting through it. School is very intense, and I am behind again and feel like my grades are going down. Trying to take it a day at a time to do my best.
❀ What matters most in your life right now?❀
Building supportive friendships/support system is the most important to me. I really struggle with getting close and trusting friends, but I am working on this with my counselor.
❀ What is one thing that you want to do differently this coming week? ❀
Insomnia/sleep procrastination is a really big issue for me. I haven't been successful at fixing it, but maybe just journaling or posting on here a few nights before bed can be a goal. I have a journal forum on here for myself that helps me.
@Daydreamer47
Hey hey dream, Lovely seeing you as always, thanks for joining the checkin this week.
Conversations can be really challegening but thats awesome that you got through it. I can relate to the challenges with school. They seem to make it as hard and intense as they can. Sometimes it just seems impossible to keep up. The best we can do is to keep going, try our best, learn from the mistakes, and try to improve. Now I do get how discouraging it can be to constantly be receiving negative feedback and poor grades. But you are right just a day at a time. and try our best, You got this.
I can see how hard you are working. Working to improve yourself, and the areas in your life that need attention. Being able to reflect and make those attempts and small steps to get better and work on things is so admirable dream. I hope that you have a great week ahead, Here for you always <3
❀How have you been doing lately? The good? The challenges?
I feel so depressed lately. I can't do a single work or start working on my MA thesis or even read any book. In addition to what is happening in the Gaza Strip in terms of violence and brutality by Israelis and the killing of defenseless Palestinian civilians, and the leaders of America and Europe standing by the Israeli occupier, all of this makes me feel frustrated.
❀ What matters most in your life right now?
Make a step in my life and start working on my MA thesis.
❀ What is one thing that you want to do differently this coming week?
Writing the first part of chapter one in my MA thesis.
@DinaElwy
Hey hey Dina! Thanks so much for joining our weekly checkin,
I can relate to feeling overwhelmed and alot of emotions regarding what is happening in our world. It leads to so many questions and frustrations and depression. It can be hard to process whats going on and live life normally, knowing whats going on. Working on your thesis is a great goal to have. I know it can be overwelemnig trying to start one, so small steps friend, one day at a time one small step, I know that this must be a super hard time for you right now, but we are here for you and you got this. I hope that your thesis goes well. <3
