1. How am I feeling today?
I’m feeling pretty okay today, thank you! 😊
2. What have I done today that brings me joy?
I was able to catch up on a book I wanted to finish,
which made me feel accomplished and pleased. ❤️
3. Have I eaten well today?
I haven’t quite eaten yet, since it’s a bit early in the
morning for me, but I’ll be sure to have a fulfilling
breakfast today. ❤️
4. Have I moved my body today?
When I woke up, I did some light yoga, which made me
feel good physically. 😊
5. Have I connected with someone I love?
I did talk a bit with my parents this morning, so that
definitely counts. I also connected with my lovely friends
on here, which made me feel more optimistic. 🤗
How am I feeling today?
Okay, just a little tired.
What have I done today that brings me joy?
I hung out with somebody I care about, and will probably see again later today. Then tomorrow, I will be able to spend time with toddler son on Mother's Day... Currently have an ongoing custody battle.
Have I eaten well today?
Not really, but I never do these days...Based on stress and currently being unemployed...Waiting to hear confirmation from a job after going through background check and drug test. One of my hobbies is actually cooking, so I make do with what's in the house. I just don't like to eat anymore ...
Have I moved my body today?
Always. Everyday, especially after my car got repossessed...
I walk about 17k+ steps a day or more on average.
Have I connect with someone I love?
Yep! The same somebody I hung out with earlier today. I care about him quite a lot. I'm just enjoying the time we have, whether anything becomes official or not, I won't think too much about it.... We're major opposites in lifestyles, so it is possible it might not last... Despite this, we get along well and can still be good friends regardless of what happens.
@CheeryMango
I have positive responses to that list, except.... moving my body. That's why I started to pick physical exercise for my growth path here. I hope that helps, lol
@CheeryMango

@Missymay1991
I hope you are ok. I hope you are able to manage your life with everything you have going on. My advice would be to love yourself no matter how hard it is to do. Don't beat yourself up because of your difficulties. The best way to deal with your difficulties is probably admit that you have them and try your best to deal with them in a healthy manner.

1.How am I feeling today?
So So. This has been a thing with me for sometime now. It has been a long time since I have felt absolutely great.
2.What have I done today that brings me joy?
Nothing really but that's usual. I have watched a couple of good tv shows and movies. I cooked something and studied something I needed to. All those things make me feel like I was somewhat productive but its hard to say I did something that brought me joy today.
3.Have I eaten well today?
Kinda. I ate cereal this morning then I had a nice sized dinner. I wish I had someone to cook for me.
4.Have I moved my body today?
Not really which is not good. I don't move around as much as I should.
5.Have I connected with someone I love?
Kinda. I got a lot of holiday wishes. I spoke with someone in my life. However, I have a lot of connections I would like to make generally that I don't have.
