Traumatic Experiences Community Forum Daily CheckIn - Friday 17th February 2017
How are you all doing? I hope your are taking care of yourselves and practising some self compassion. Remember everyone has their good and bad days especially when dealing with trauma issues so please be kind to yourselves and don't give yourselves a hard time for being human and having emotions and feelings that sometimes get a little tough to deal with. We are here for you and this space is yours to share how you are, what you are doing to look after yourselves, what self care techniques have you been trying out this past week, any achievements, any thoughtful moments you have had on your healing journey etc This space is for all of you to offer your support to one another, and even share a moment of laughter if you wish :)

Today was a good day. I took my dog on about a 6mi hike. Usually my mind feels kinda hazy and it's hard for me to be mindful but while out hiking I had a moment of clarity. It felt really peaceful. :)
@happycloud7o9 That sounds a lovely time you had together and dog walking can bring lots of calm as well as some happiness and a smile. I enjoy taking mine to the beach when I need that moment of clarity. Im glad you were able to find some peace for yourself today :)
@dancingRainbow45 thank you! A beach walk sounds lovely too, if there were one closer to me I'd definitely do those too. Hope you are doing well today too! :)
@happycloud7o9 sounds good. Im glad you have had a good day with you, your dog and the elements.
Reading your post has really reminded me of my need for the outdoors (esp. with my two k9s ☺).

I'm feeling really good right now. Mostly because of this calming spray thing that I tried. But also because I just got 100% on a psych quiz, and every other psych quiz this semester I've literally missed ONE question. So yay me 😄
@BeeLeigh sounds like you are reaping your efforts and hardwork. I mean, that is really something! Well done ☺.
@helpfulWatermelon5615
thanks Watermelon 😊
I managed to really challenge sabotaging my own efforts to heal these past days.
I would just like to say that I got 100% on Part II of the unit exam for music appreciation, and I only missed 1 out of 60 questions for Part I of the unit exam for music appreciation 😁
Now, it's almost 2am for me, so I'm gonna go to bed :P
