Hello wonderful People! For those who don't know me I am Regan one of the teen listeners here on 7 cups!
Answers to the questions:
1) I am doing extremely well, a little sore from school activities! I am very excited for Hanukkah so I am feeling very connected spiritually right now!
2) I have learned may life lessons in the past month I think my two biggest are 1) Mentors are great! They are people to help support you in whatever you choose, and are just there to be positive role models for you! 2) It is okay not to be able to do everything! It is more important to look at what is the most important to do and figure out how much time I can and am willing to give to that area!
3) My favorite chapter is from Disney, goofy! I could reminder that things can be goofy in silly in life!
I hope all of you have an amazing day and you are worth it!
~Regan :)
@Regan
Physically, I hurt, I just got out of a minor surgery
Mentally, we don't talk about Bruno
@MaybeTodaySatan
Hey satan, sorry you are hurting after your surgery, I hope the recovery for it is fast and you are feeling better soon, and your mental health, We are here if you ever want to talk about it. I hope you have a good week ahead <3
@ReganL
Hey lovely Regan! Thanks so much for joining our checkin! Very sorry about the delay with response.
Thank you for all your hard work you do in teenie land. It definitly does not go unnoticed. I am glad to hear that things are going well. I hope that you get some rest form all your adventures and sports you been doing, and you have a peaceful Hanukkah.
I love the things that you have been learning. I have to agree mentors are really awesome. They can be so impactful and helpful on your listener journey. They are people that just get the struggles that you are going through and can give you the tools to succeed. I also have to agree on your second point. It can often feel like we have to do everything. There are so many important things in life and things to do, but we only have so many hours in a day. We have have to take that step back to look at our priorities and figure out what really matters to us. As well as quality over quantity. Or at least that is where I belive.
High fives on goofy. I hope you have an amazing week ahead Regannnn
@FaithfulZareia
hello hello! :D time for me to answer this week's check-in as well!!
❀How are you doing? Physically? Mentally? Spiritually? ❀
I am doing quite alright! tho i must say i got to start sleeping more again. have lost quite the sleep lately x'D
❀What life lesson have you learned in the past month?❀
that its okay to prioritize myself and that time management is crucial!
❀ What's your favorite disney or movie character?❀
my fave disney character is ariel!! i love mermaids <3
@KateDoskocilova
Hey lovely Kate! Thanks for joining our check in this week! Sorry for the delay in responding to it!
Im glad to hear that you have been well and able to catch up on some sleep! Keep a good sleep schedule can be quite hard.
Thats awesome to hear that you are starting to prioritize your wellbeing. So important. Also time management is an awesome skill to have. It can make your days a lot more productive, and meaningful
I hope that you have a great week ahead friend
How are you doing? Physically? Mentally? Spiritually?
I've just recovered from COVID19, most likely omicron strand, though my sense of taste hasn't fully recovered. Mentally a little more stressed than usual, but to be expected as final exams start next week.
What life lesson have you learned in the past month?
Life lesson, academic weapons know learning techniques to balance studies with life. Studying 24/7 without breaks lead to burnout (which I already knew) but also studying last minute leads to gambling academic performance on luck. Partially due to ADHD, I need pressure to function. So in a sense, I need to redo my entire system during winter break to better set myself up for success next term.
What's your favorite disney or movie character?
I haven't watched Disney or movies in forever. I'm an otaku in the anime world, so my favorite character changes depending on which series I'm currently watching. Currently, my favorite anime character is Pharma De Médicis from Isekai Yakkyoku.
@Takitoteka That anime looks cool! Will have to check it out
@Takitoteka
Love seeing the anime representation!! Currently watching jjk (a bit mainstream but it's been... a journey to say the least!), might look into this show though!
@helpfulstrawberry312
Jjk is pretty popular now a days. I've watched up to season 2 episode right and wrong episode. It got too intense for me not be distracted from studying for exams if I continued before exams were over.
@Takitoteka
Hey Taki, thanks for joining our check in this week. I am sorry for the delay in response,
I hope that you are feeling better from having covid. It can definitely be stressful trying to catch up after being forced to take time off and not feeling the best, especially so close to exams. I hope that your exams go well for you! You got this.
That sounds like a good goal for the break. Sometimes the systems that we use for organization and studying need to be changed and updated to meet our needs as we grow and learn more about ourselves. Time management and study strategize can be super helpful. We sometimes fall into the two extremes of procrastinating our work until we have to cram it all in at once. Neither is very beneficial. I hope that you find a better balance during next term.
I hope you have a good week ahead <3
❀How are you doing? Physically? Mentally? Spiritually? ❀
Hello, I am having a really hard time today, as I got the news that my cat may have a relapse of the cancer he had before. I was at the hospital most of the day while he got a biopsy. I won't know for a few days the results. But it is likely an issue maybe he will have some more time but probably not a cure. :( I am really struggling because I feel like I didn't get much done today and I have finals next week. Trying to just have a more productive day tomorrow.
❀What life lesson have you learned in the past month?❀
I have trouble asking for help and being vulnerable, so I am trying to take baby steps. I told my cousin about my cat today which was out of my comfort zone even to do that. I hate telling people bad news in case they over-react or respond awkwardly or something, but I know I need to try in the hopes that the right people will be there for me.
❀ What's your favorite disney or movie character?❀
My comfort Disney movie is Emperor's New Groove cause it makes me laugh, and it is very light-hearted. I love Kronk <3
@Daydreamer47
Hey dream friend. Thanks for joining our checkin, IM very sorry about the delay in response.
I am so sorry to hear about your cat. it sounds like you really care and love your cat dearly. IT can be very stressful waiting for results and not knowing whats going to happen. I do hope that the scans came back and your cat be okie. Sending healing and strength beams.
Exams can be so hard. Even if one day isn't productive or the morning isn't, we can still try again. Its not too late. I wish you the best of luck with your exams day. Please try and remember to be gentle and kind to self. You are doing the best you can and be very proud of htat
Asking for help and being varnerable is defiantly not easy, I can relate to those struggles. Those tine steps are amazing friend. Keep working at it, You are dong a great job.
I hope you have a good week ahead <3
@FaithfulZareia
YA! Everyone is having exams! Good luck and avoid influenza!☺️
@silverSpace375
Hey silver! Good luck with exams too! I hope you have a good week ahead <3
@FaithfulZareia
❀How are you doing? Physically? Mentally? Spiritually? ❀
Just pretty bad all around probably.
❀What life lesson have you learned in the past month?❀
It's hard to follow intuition especially when it comes to abuse.
❀ What's your favorite disney or movie character?❀
Moana or the red haired one maybe? I don't know. I haven't seen either, but they seem like more adventurous characters for Disney; not the usual 'get married and live happily ever after' type and that's probably why my mind is settling on them or intrigued. Or I'm just not sure because one didn't come to mind in a few minutes and am settling on them
@communicativePond1728
Hey pond, thanks for joining our checkin, I am so sorry about the delay in response.
Im sorry to hear that things have been going very poorly for you lately. I know life can be quite challenging at time, We are here for you, if you want to talk about it and I do hope things hit better times.
Abuse certainly a tricky situation to navigate. It can leave you feeling lost and unsure what to belive. sending you support and strength beams
I hope that you have a better week ahead <3
Hey @FaithfulZareia!
Just read about your exams and wanted to say good luck with everything and I hope you ace/aced everything!
❀How are you doing? Physically? Mentally? Spiritually? ❀
💮Similar situation as you I would say.
Physically, I'm doing alright. I'm eating my meals and getting through the days, thankfully. A bit sleep-deprived but who isn't?
Mentally, stressed about finals and projects. The usual. Oh and I went on a date recently so my mind is a bit pre-occupied with...that lol
Spiritually, all the news from around the world breaks my heart and it's just...overwhelming.
❀What life lesson have you learned in the past month?❀
💮To stop procrastinating. It will eventually get out of hand if you wait too long to finish loose ends, both task-wise and relationship-wise.
❀ What's your favorite disney or movie character?❀
💮Favorite disney character has been Mulan for a LONG TIME (the animated one though). Favorite character as of now I would say is Chiriko Tsurumi (Tsuruko) from Anohana. She's one of the less prominent characters in the show but her character has made a big impact on me!
@helpfulstrawberry312
Hey lovely friend berry! Thanks for joining our checkin! I am very sorry about the delay,
it sounds like you have alot on your plate recently. I wish you the best of luck with your exams. I know that the whole process is ver overwhelming and stressful. You got this friend! before you know it they will be over. sending you lucky charms.
That sounds super fun that you went on a dateee <3 I hope your future dates go wonderfully and that you enjoy each other fully.
IM very proud of you for completing the small things in life. getting up, eating, doing your best with sleep, those things can become challenging when exams and stress are high.
I hope you have an amazing week ahead friend <3
