- What is your favorite place or environment to calm your mind? I don't have one

- What sounds do you find the most calming or peaceful when you need to quiet your busy mind? Again, it's very hard to calm me down

- How are you feeling going into this week? Like wants to go to bed and not get up

@Kate

A self care vacation sounds fun. I hope you had a good time.

I like that picture it is very calming.

There is a place that I can go and watch penguins play, and that is my favorite place to calm my mind. I can sit outside and just watch and listen and imagine.

I find the sound of the wind or a gentle rain calming.

I am not feeling so good. I've given up several times over the last couple of days. I don't think I can keep going.

I like to go to the horsetrck to calm my mind being around the horses and the community is really warm and welcoming. It's like everybody knows everyone and everyone is always shaking hands, saying hi to everyone it's really old school and I love it. I don't really have a sound that calms me, I feel different i like asmr and loud music to clear my mind/calm me. I'm alright I opened up a better line of communation with a friend so that's that.

@Kate

- What is your favorite place or environment to calm your mind? in bed

- What sounds do you find the most calming or peaceful when you need to quiet your busy mind? meditation apps like Headspace work pretty well :)

- How are you feeling going into this week? anxious

@Kate
my comfort type of place is my tree near my house.
sounds that calm me is rain or a fire. a visual type of caming is a fire or the colors on a speaker when they change with a beat. i also like waves its pretty.
i have had a horrible start to my week. i left school early for suicidal thoughts and was brought home by the deputy and social worker since my mom didnt have a car. i was crything the whole day and got yelled at somewhat
