- How do I feel about what's happened so far this week? So far this week has felt a bit lazy, a bit tiring mentally.
- How do I feel about what's happening the rest of the week? I feel alright I guess; not super excited about the idea of my summer job apps getting back to me but it is what it is. Hopefully I can feel better the rest of the week.
- I'm excited to focus on... cleaning my room and being more active by dancing.
- I will create space from my online friends who take too much time away from my life in the present.
- What am I avoiding? telling others how I really feel
- And what will I do about it? think of how to explain my feelings in a way thats understandable by others and doesn't scare me to open up.

@CheeryMango Thank you for your post! It's so important to talk about mental health. <3
This week, I've felt pretty hopeful and confident. Last week was rough, but I'm coming out strong and I will make the best out of it! I'm learning to prioritize my mental health and remain positive despite long days.
@CheeryMango
Hi, Mango,
- How do I feel about what's happened so far this week? I feel sad, hurt, and tired.
- How do I feel about what's happening the rest of the week? I'm thrilled that I only have one more day to work at the charity, until Sunday.
- I'm excited to focus on...relaxing Friday night.
- I will create space from...the bad character people i work with at the charity
- What am I avoiding? I talked about this with my big boss. I no longer speak to two people at work who regularly attack me. I also no longer offer to help them with their work. So, I am avoiding the two people.
- And what will I do about it? Nothing more. I talked about it to the regional director and she told me she thinks it is a good idea.

How do I feel about what's happened so far this week?
Been feeling calmer and more collected.
How do I feel about what's happening the rest of the week?
Again, feeling calm because I know that everything will be okay no matter what happens.
I'm excited to focus on...
Rejoining the 7cups community (I've recently took a mental health break) as a GLDD mentor, GLDD trainee for the academy program, sharing circle host, peer/room supporter, and an overall volunteer.
I will create space from
eliminating anything that is unhealthy for me (e.g. junk food, toxic people, social media, etc.)
What am I avoiding?
My anxiety, feelings of anger, and sadness.
And what will I do about it?
Acknowledge my emotions rather than avoiding them, listening to my body and acting according to what my body is telling me

Hi kindFish.
"Acknowledge my emotions rather than avoiding them, listening to my body and acting according to what my body is telling me"
I like very much this sentence you wrote.
I don't know, I don't know, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing
- How do I feel about what's happened so far this week? I feel pretty okay I guess.
- How do I feel about what's happening the rest of the week? I don’t know I guess we’ll see.
- I'm excited to focus on...The now.
- I will create space from Toxic people, haters, spies, thieves, creeps, greedy assholes.
- What am I avoiding? Running from my emotions or fighting the current situation unwisely.
- And what will I do about it? Sit back and watch justice and reward come to me.
