My favorite is sunrise. When I go visit my dad, I have to drive a couple of days. It's always nice to see the sunrise from the road.
@wontwakewontsleep
Wow, driving for multiple days sounds exhausting. I like the sunrise too.
@wontwakewontsleep
i understand this! i travel a lot too! the worst part tho is when its too dark to read ):
@audienta
1) What is your favourite: sunrise or sunset? Why? Sunrise. It's the start to a new day.
2) What is the main thing in your life you'd like to change? My health issues, both mental and physical, just to be healthy
3) What is one step you can take to get closer to this change? Working on self care and helping myself get better
@Bunnylovesyou
It's nice to hear that you like the sunrise that brings a new day. I totally understand your wish of being healthy - that would be my wish too. I hope that self-care as well as medical and psychological support will help you change your situation.
@audienta
❤❤❤
My favorite is probably sunrise. I like seeing and knowing I have a whole day ahead. However, I also like midday for how the sun comes in my window during that time.
A main thing in my life I would want to change is being nicer to people. I think I want to be a friendly person, or at least be able to laugh with some close people. But to be friends and get close with others, I know I have to be kinder. To get closer to this change, a step I could take is writing down my thoughts more. I don't have many positive coping mechanisms, but writing has always been neutral with me. It hasn't done me wrong, and I especially enjoy having a group to post my thoughts and feelings too. I appreciate the sense of community, and I hope I can work on being kinder and a bit more vulnerable in online spaces, then transfer that to the real world.
@underapinetree
Becoming kinder and more vulnerable can definitely be a challenge and I wish you all the best with it. I hope that being able to post your thoughts and feelings in the forums or in groups can help you with the process!

1) What is your favourite: sunrise or sunset? Why?
Lately sunset. February is such a gray and dull month but it's pink sunset somehow made me feel better.
2) What is the main thing in your life you'd like to change?
My focus. Pretty sure a goldfish has a longer attention span at this point, and certainly a more positive one.
3) What is one step you can take to get closer to this change?
Complete my small workout two more times this week at the gym.

@abbyjean90
Hey Abby,
I'd choose sunsets as well!
It sounds like you already do a lot to improve your confidence. I hope you see some success soon!
@abbyjean90
colorado sunsets are supposed to be amazing :0 I've seen pictures and just wowza!
@audienta
Sunset. I always get a weird feeling in my stomach when I have to go outside before the sun comes up.
I want to change how much I am afraid of people and the extent that it controls my life. I spend way too much time and thought figuring out how to avoid people who make me uncomfortable.
@PiecesOfWhoeverIWas
Hey there,
I love sunsets too.
I'm sorry to hear that you're dealing with a lot of anxiety regarding other people. I hope that the guided meditations give you some relief soon.
