🌟 Let's Reflect: A Moment of Self-Awareness 🌟

@SerenNova Thank you for this thoughtful thread

1. _{What’s something that brought you joy this week, no matter how small?}

_{I just spent some time in mindful practice looking at things I regret and letting go of them. It feels so joyful to stop running the tapes about things I regret doing long ago.}

1. What’s something that brought you joy this week, no matter how small?             Laughing with my youngest daughter about stinky pickles. 
2. How do you typically react when you’re feeling stressed or overwhelmed?         Ideally I try to take deep breaths, center or ground myself and prioritize. Lately I clam up and check out and lash out in anger and snark when pressed. 
3. What’s one thing you’re proud of yourself for, even if no one else knows about it?             Starting back yoga and journaling. 
4. When was the last time you did something just for yourself? How did it feel?             Saturday I got a massage and took a lazy day after work. 
5. If you could offer your past self one piece of advice, what would it be?                           Drink more water and take better care of yourself, you only get one body…. Handle with care. 
6. What are your future goals and aspirations? (no matter how “unrealistic”)                     Get stable on medication and get out of fight or flight.  Better my relationships with my kids.  Buckle down and pay off debts.  Take a vacation (no kids)

@SerenNova thanks for the inciteful post ❤

1) what brought me joy this week is my operation going well, and my friends here at cups, making me feel loved and cared about 😁❤

2) when I'm stressed/overwhelmed, I tend to cry it out. And vent alot

3) I'm proud that even when I get scared, humour and positivity always gets me through ❤ also I'm great at drawing😎

4) last time I did something for me 🤔🤔🤔 ooo! I know I've already started buying myself xmas and birthday presents😁 and it feels great I'm really starting to get excited😀

5) the advice I'd give my past self, " just hold on, a better world is waiting, a place full of  beauty and magic, so never give up  "

6) future goals/assperations I want to be a explorer, I want to see everything I possibly can ❤

Thank you for taking the time to post these great questions!

• What are your future goals and aspirations? (no matter how “unrealistic”)

My goals are learning more about psychology, about how to make life easier as a senior citizen, about vegan cooking and preparing new things, about the aging body and and and. There is still so much to learn for me and that keeps me excited! 😀 Another thing is also learning how to give myself more breaks from work at home.
