Hi @CaringBrit

1. What is your favourite Animal and why?

That's a tricky question, if I don't answer my cat, he's going to be annoyed haha. I think my favorite animal at this moment is the she-wolf.

2. What are your favourite Ambient Sounds - Rain ocean etc and why

I'll go with either rain or wind in the branches. It reminds me of my home.

3.What song best describes you as a person or how you currently feel and why?

That one is easy. I am woman by Helen Reddy. Keeps me up and dancing and allows me to feel good about myself. Plus there's a lyric that speaks to my mind.

4. how am I doing?

I've been struggling to keep my brain balanced and my attention away from my trauma.

5.one thing or multi things going well / not well

going well: people and my relationship with people has probably been the best in my whole life right now. that somehow feels amazing.

no going well: I've been having trouble staying calm and lowering my anxiety machine. it's a bit like my brain is a racing car right now and I'm an old woman driving it... but it's better today than it was yesterday :) I need to keep doing meditation to feel better.

@CaringBrit

my cat is about 3 years old :)

oh that song is the best. I'm not sure what genre it is, something like folk or calm rock 'n roll.

for anxiety mmmh honestly besides meditation, probably talking to myself/writing until I find the issue behind my anxiety and how to calm down, talking with my therapist and moving forward with things :)

Cats. They are such perfect creatures and soooo cute. I love their independence too.

2. What are your favourite Ambient Sounds - Rain ocean etc and why
Mild thunderstorm, Calm Rainforest, or Rural Japan.

3.What song best describes you as a person or how you currently feel and why
Steven Universe's 'Escapism'. Needlessly struggling is so sad to me. I just want to be free of that kind of pain.

Good-ish. Mostly alright, but I'm feeling a bit bad about myself today.

5.one thing or multi things going well / not well

Something that's not going well: My country is opening up waaay to soon for economic reasons. It's going to cost a lot of people's lives.

Something that's going well: My vacation got approved by work place. So now I can stay safe for another week or so.

@CaringBrit Hey Brit, thank you for posting.

1. What is your favourite Animal and why

Ducks! I find them incredible cute and I used to be called "duckie" and it's my online name for a lot of social media platforms as well.

2. What are your favourite Ambient Sounds - Rain ocean etc and why I don't like ambient sounds much to be honest, I'm more of a lo-fi listener. But if I were to chose, probably rain :)

3.What song best describes you as a person or how you currently feel and why "Let's fall in love for the night" by Finneas because it's such a romantic song and I'm such a big romantic!

4. how are you all doing

I'm doing okay :) have had a really great morning and day so far trying to set up Notion.

5.one thing or multi things going well / not well

Hmm.. I think one thing that is going well right now is my empathy abilities because I feel like I've helped a lot of my irl friends with their problems and my 7 cups skills are transferring through and it's been really helpful and strengthening relationships.

1. What is your favourite Animal and why

Elephants. They are cute, fun to draw, and I love the little gifs people make where they have the water shooting from their trunks or holding a balloon.

2. What are your favourite Ambient Sounds - Rain ocean etc and why

Rain, the sound of water is calming for me.

3.What song best describes you as a person or how you currently feel and why

Please Notice-Christian Leave. I am sad and still grieving a breakup from 3 months ago that I caused, it's fun times that aren't rational. I blame myself and love so yeah. I do really enjoy this song though, it's very soulfull for me: To Build A Home-The Cinematic Orchestra.

4. how are you all doing

I'm doing okay, today was a rough depression day.

5.one thing or multi things going well / not well

Something going well is that I'm not doing as bad as I could be. Something not going well is that my mental health is starting to kick my butt which isn't helping because it's bringing up past things I'm trying to repress and not think about.
