mid-week check-in 6/22/23
Helloooo, lovely 35+ people!
How are you all doing today? I hope you all are doing well.
Welcome to a mid-week check-in! I know that sometimes we might get stuck in the same routine, or might be feeling down about ourselves. Sometimes it is helpful to look back and celebrate the little things.
Question – What have you accomplished recently? Please share it with us!
It doesn’t have to be anything big; it can be a daily accomplishment.
For instance, I got out of bed 3 days in a row! Or, I brushed my teeth today.
Or, I did not yell at anyone today, or I laughed today. However, if something big hash appened in your life lately, like a new job or a milestone, you are welcome to share that, too!
Look for my answer in the comments.
Have a wonderful week, everybody!

What have you accomplished recently?
I exceeded my physical activity goal yesterday!
I am hoping to beat that step-count again today, too!
@purplelady568
Hello, how are you doing? I am a teen user, I am messaging you on here by posting this as I can't chat with you.
You see, many many days back I was surfing cups and found this community, I then went to another community to check it out and found it really good to I went to the taglist posted of that community and when I posted to add me, I don't know how but it was loading and when I refreshed I was in this forum thread of this 35+ community and had posted it here. I think there might have been a glitch or something. I have posted here many times since then to remove me but I am never removed. I don't really want to be added in this taglist as I am not even an adult.
I am sorry if I sound rude and if it's not a good thing to post this here as this is another thread, but I couldn't find your name on the tag list post and I couldn't communicate with you otherwise. I hope you understand. Please do remove me, take care. Have a nice day or night 💙
@calmmoon2104 no problem. Thanks for letting us know! I will be sure to remove you from future posts.
@purplelady568
Thank you very much ❤
@calmmoon2104
Hi teenager!
I hope you find a group of teenagers to hang out with here.
@Helgafy
Thank you!
@purplelady568
This morning I spoke up about something I find difficult to talk about.
@Clio9876 wow, that is definitely an accomplishment worth celebrating! I hope that you can continue to be kind and gentle with yourself, as you navigate difficult topics.
@purplelady568
Thank you. It's so great to get support from someone who "gets it".
Can I add to your achievements? Posting regularly in this community. That takes commitment. I can't always respond, but I see you and thank you.
I had a heart felt sit down conversation with my significant other, using the steps an help from others, their words of wisdom. At the end, we were both on the same page an understanding towards one another's feelings. Worked out some of our major issues
@harley1313 That is great, thank you for sharing this with us! What a wonderful thing!!! I hope that this conversation is just the beginning of healing, renewed understanding, and continued closeness between you and your partner.
@harley1313
Wow. I'm so impressed and pleased for you. Conversations like that I find really difficult and I often have to tackle them in parts, so I'm impressed when someone does it all in one go. It's one thing to known that communication is important. Another to put that into action.
I still haven't crashed from exhaustion yet. Been working 10hr shifts this week, as very short-staffed, 3 people off. One got rear-ended by a drunk driver, one is on vacation, and one is grieving for an expected loss of father. Working long hours and not sleeping well, I'm surprised I haven't crashed yet. Two more days to go!
@Jaeteuk - wow, congrats on making it through over half of your work week. That sounds like a stressful situation, with so many coworkers gone, but so far it seems like you are handling it beautifully. I hope that when your work is done, you can do relaxing and restful things, because you deserve a break!!
Take care, and thanks for checking in. 🙂
I'm excited for the weekend. I plan to launch my business tomorrow. Will definitely celebrate with family as soon as I earn my first dollar!!! My mum already planned to open an expensive red wine bottle for the celebration. 10 minutes until my shift starts, I have a feeling it will be a long day. At least I slept somewhat better last night, so hopefully getting through today won't be as dreading.
Still haven't been notified if I'll need to work next week. I did offer, in case colleague needs more time to grieve. Kinda hoping I don't need to though, I'll be working from July to end of September, with only 3 days off in August. So, it'd be nice to have next week off before a hectic summer. And I would really want to have a good rest after working 50hrs this week, that's more than 100,000 steps in 5 days!~
@purplelady568
*Question – What have you accomplished recently?
Well, although nothing too spectacular, I just vacationed this week and was able to continue meeting and maintaining the "Step Goals" that I set for myself each day!....When going to the Beach, it can be easy for me to just sit and stare at the Ocean all day, but I was able to remain active and accomplish my goals each day.
*And also, completing a "dentist appointment". I personally don't care for going to the dentist in these past recent years, (BUT, know that its something that needs to be done on a regular basis for good health and oral hygiene)!..... So it takes alot in me to get up the nerve to go get it over and done with! I'm just glad its finally over for another 6 months!
Since I don't have friends irl to do stuff with, I've started going out on my own. The last weekend I went alone to a restaurant I really like, and today I spent 2-3 hours working in a cafe just to get out of the house. It's been amazing! 😊😊
@plumBeechwood7549 - I love that you are embracing You, and that you are feeling comfortable enough in your own skin to go out and do fun things with Yourself. Applause for you!!! What a fantastic accomplishment.
Maybe, in the process of enjoying yourself in a public space, you might be able to strike up a conversation with someone else who is enjoying the same things? That could be a step towards making some new friends.
Hi everybody. My success was trying intermittent fasting routine for the first time ever ( basically eating regularly- but having those meals during a certain time window of the day) this was in attempt to address some health issues. initially there was mild discomfort in switching some snack habits, but so worth it. It has improved my mornings a lot ( usually the most difficult time)
@leesa2222
Hi Lessa
That's really interesting. I've always wondered about intermittent fasting. Some of the results look really interesting. But I'm not sure I'd ever have the courage to try it. I just love grazing and snacks too much.
Hi all, just Joined the group. Am Joan
@1Muthama
Hi Joan
Welcome to 35+. I look forward to seeing you around.
Hi everyone - just joining the group as well and am brand new to 7 Cups. I’m living in a city that’s new to me and hung out with 2 potential new friends over the weekend and that felt like a good step/accomplishment.
@Cayo
Hi Cayo. Welcome to 7 cups and welcome to 35+. Wow, moving to a new city is most certainly an accomplishment and meeting new people and starting to make connections is also an accomplishment. Well done on two achievements, and good luck with the next steps. There's normally plenty of next steps, with a big move like that, so I hope it all goes well for you.
Hi, so I accomplished that I stood up for myself to a bully and also a manipulative mom even though they both lost it when I did. I also, exercised today and I did not eat too much. I hugged my dog and I felt a bit more connected to her as it is very hard for me to feel loved or to process that I am loved even by an innocent puppy. Yeah... I am that closed up. 😒😔 I decided to wake up early tomorrow morning. I am starting to think about making my fashion brand into something big. Which is a start... thinking about it in a way that I can and not give up. Thanks so much 🥰
@hearttoheartnojudgement - Wow, you have taken SO MANY positive steps recently! Way to go! That is excellent work. You should be proud of yourself. I hope that, by learning to be vulnerable and open to the feeling of love with your dog, that maybe in the future you can be vulnerable and accept love from other people.
Thanks so much! 🥰
