@soulsings
I struggle with not getting enough sleep.
Time to myself.
And as a result , it can feel like ground hog day.
And can lead to boredom 💙🤗
@Amanda84 hugs you tightly 💖
@soulsings
- What aspects of your daily life do you struggle with right now?
It seems that I haven't woken up from my winter sleep; I still need 10 hours per night. It does me well though.
@soulsings I'm just trying to get the energy to stand up😂
@soulsings I'm moving. Should I say more? Every day is a list of challenges.
@soulsings
What aspects of your daily life that you struggle with right now?
Sleep. I get enough hours a day but I sleep very late.
@trueconfidant123 if I sleep over 8 hours I ten to be groggy. Having a daily routine motivates me to start my day even if doing yoga floor exercises in
@soulsings same, sleeping for more than 8 hours does make me groggy too
@trueconfidant123 I try to go to bed earlier and get up earlier and start my routine of yoga and mindfulness. If I get tired in the afternoon I take a 15 mi ute nap or quiet time and that helps recharge my battery.
@soulsings
Power naps are never a bad idea. I'm glad you have a sorted routine.
@soulsings
"...sharing them with others may help relieve some of the stress."
How I wish that was true of my health! In this case, I am not the only one who's stressed here. Everybody got stressed to some level due to my prognosis around here. I toyed with the idea of not sharing anything, but it would not have been easy to hide.
@Fradiga. I like when people share this information . It helps me to process things better.
@adventurousBranch3786
Yes, you make sense. What I know is that, due to cancer returning and is fatal this time, my doctors expect me to kick the bucket sooner than later, you see. Due to my age, I do not mind so much, but the news are much worse for people who like to have me around 😃 such as my kids, siblings, friends, etc... so they now are more stressed than I am.
@Fradiga. It’s understandable that it hurts your loved one’s. Losing someone close is a painful part of life. I don’t know you but have been reading things that you have written here. I do feel sad to hear the news but am glad you shared it. Sometimes when people stop coming here and I don’t know why. I do wonder what has happened to them. So thank you for sharing.
@adventurousBranch3786
Thank you for your kind words! I should let you know that I am only one medical incident away from kicking a (full) bucket but somehow am still maintained at a bearable level for the moment. I have not asked my doctors for a timeline because - hey - it should stay a surprise! I am confident that the afterlife will be interesting AND blissful.
I have noticed here and there from early in my life that the "dearly departed" often send a blessing to the bereaved shortly after their passing; that might be quite a 😃 new bucket list.
@Fradiga you have touched many hearts here at 7 Cups, especially mine and your passing although unavoidable in the long run will be accompanied with sadness at the loss of your presence.
The way you let us know gradually has helped us process this over time.
Au revoir mon amie (excuse my rough French - see you later my friend)

@Fradiga you have many people to send messages to or perhaps you will find another calling.
None of us has a time of departure except when we take a plane or train. That is why I count each moment as precious.
@Fradiga
I wish I could hold you with your permission very tight in my arms now, Fradiga.
You are truly an extraordinary and fearless soul. Meeting you here has touched my heart deeply, and I am endlessly grateful to have crossed paths with someone as genuine and inspiring as you. I will miss you a lot 💙
Currently I struggle with:
Keeping up with house chores on a regular basis.
My motivation working a job that I don't feel fits me very well, even as I enter my third year.
Sporadic resentment towards people who've hurt me in the past that I no longer associate with.
I am struggling with taking care of myself and putting my needs first. But that is something I am actively working on!
@soulsings
- What aspects of your daily life do you struggle with right now?
Currently I feel as though I'm struggling to keep my focus on the more important things in my life, like schoolwork, studying, and job searching. Instead I get too easily distracted on stupid things that don't truly matter like social media and video games.
