hey Kate thanks for joining in our checkin! Lovely seeing you as always.
I know that school work can definitely cause a lot of stress and anxiety. I wish you the best of luck with your studies, you got this. I hope that you find moments for self care and breaks and that you enjoy your time with your mum and friends. <3 take careeee
@FaithfulZareia
❀How are you doing? Highs? Lows? ❀
I’m doing okay, overwhelmed, but nothing I can’t handle
❀What are goals for the week? ❀
To get into a better routine :)
❀Any Self Care plans? ❀
@yourmidastouchonthechevydoor
hey mid! thanks for joining our checkin this week! I hope you have good time relaxing and doing face masks. Getting in a good routine can be very beneficial and help get everything that needs to get done done. I always feel bit better when following routine. I hope you have a great week ahead (:
Too early in the week to know how things will be going. On overtime today, and will continue to be short-staffed until Wed, so will be busy.
Goals, I have things planned to do over the weekend, so looking forward to that. Will also have a coffee date with my mum either on Saturday or Sunday, we haven't decided which day yet. We live under the same roof, but some conversations are easier when it's just the two of us. We started this coffee date thing last year. Basically it's like a heartfelt, deep, emotional conversations we have.. discussing about my future plans, things going on with her.. being out in the public also prevents me from falling asleep or lose my trail of thought as I think about other things when I'm at home.
Self care plans, weekends are the only time I can sleep in, or wake up naturally without an alarm.
@Jaeteuk
hey jaee lovely seeing you as always,
Sounds very busy with work and being understaffed, that can make for stressful and overwhelming work days. I hope that your coffee date with mum went well. that is such a sweet and nice thing to do together. Life can get busy and it can be really nice to connect and checkin with people we care about. I hope you have a restful and well week ahead
We haven't gone on our coffee date yet. Maybe later this week. I've got a couple of dental appointments tomorrow and Wed. So, maybe go either Thurs or Fri.
Looking forward to finally getting a break from work since the summer. But going to make it productive and keep tweaking my Cover Letter and Resumé.
My brother is leaving for another business trip today, he'll be back over the weekend. There was a dish I made when my parents were away, promised I'd make it for them when they return. Since it's salmon, I probably will make it for dinner some time this week. Brother doesn't like cooked salmon.
Hey @FaithfulZareia
Hope you're doing well and are taking care of yourself!
My Reflections for the Week!
❀How are you doing? Highs? Lows? ❀
💮A little tired if I'm being honest. The lows for this week is that I'm procrastinating A LOT even though I have big projects to complete, and I'm not using my time management skills efficiently. Highs are that it's Thanksgiving week so a small break from classes and I got to see some friends recently! :)
❀What are goals for the week? ❀
💮Goals include:
- Finish genetics project
- Finish lab report
- Finish interview
- Attend interview
❀Any Self Care plans? ❀
💮My friends and I are having Friendsgiving so I'm excited about that and I plan to do some face masks and go shopping with my friends! :)
@helpfulstrawberry312
Hey friend! Thanks for joining our checkin this week
I am sorry that you finding some challenges with motivation and school work. I can relate to the procrastination and lack of motivation with the work. Can leave you feeling overwhelmed and stressed. It can be hard to know where to start sometimes. But you are doing a great job, small steps friend. It can help to take the time to write out your todo lists and a routine that you would like to follow for the day. Having a visual reminder is helpful for myself. I am glad that you got a small break from school! it can be really nice to just hangout with friends and family! Good luck with catching up with studies <3 
Thank you so much @FaithfulZareia!
I'm so happy to be a member of this community, truly brings a smile to my face. Also, adorable gif!!!
Will keep trying my best but you take care as well.
❀How are you doing? Highs? Lows? ❀
I am doing okay. High was having a good Thanksgiving volunteering at indigenous community event. Low is struggling to be motivated to do schoolwork over break (and also dealing with the negative self-talk I should have got more done even though it's our break off). Also I am video-chatting with my difficult family on Sunday, but I told them I would only come on for 30 minutes.
❀What are goals for the week? ❀
I want to have a productive week catching up before my finals in a couple weeks. Might go to the library or coffeeshop again. Plan to set timers to try to make a little progress on each subject at a time.
❀Any Self Care plans? ❀
Meeting a friend tomorrow for coffee. Also doing short meditations/breathing and working out between studying
@Daydreamer47
Hey dream, thanks for joining our checkin this week!
I can completely relate to the stress and struggles of upcoming exams. I can be hard to keep on track with everything when projects are due and you have to study. It can be very overwhelming and hard to stay motivated. It sounds like you have some good strategies to help stay on track, like setting timers, finding environments where you can be productive, taking breaks. Im sorry to hear that you have. to do video call with difficult family member, it is okie to set those bounderies, and hope you can take some time for self after the chat. Keep up the great work day, Small steps you are almost there <3
