Day 2: Daily Mental Health Check-in
It’s common for us to schedule a routine visit to the doctor when we aren’t feeling our best, so it should be common for us to check-in with our mental health to ensure that we are physically, mentally and emotionally in tune.
Check-in Questions:
How am I feeling today? (Mentally and Physically)
What’s taking up most of my headspace?
What are you grateful for right now?
- What's something you can do today that would be good for you?
This thread is actually very useful for everyone. I try to ask my self these questions every day as they help be become more mindful.
Cheers,
Vithleem!

1. Physically very tired. Emotionally, also feeling tired.
2. I'm currently a bit consumed with the negativity of feeling like so many people just can't even be reasoned with.
3. I'm grateful for my inner child right now.
4. I need to keep up my healthier routines, I'm perfectly capable of them today. Even when I'm not, I'm doing better if I at least avoid making excuses for myself.
I am genuinely low, looking for a new year and a new start. I have a good friend who motivates me and a good job. I am progressing by telling myself to work hard and build positive skills and experience. I want myself and my friend to work together to help each other cope. I'm trying to find a way to stimulate myself in the week, so I can have enjoyment with my friends at the weekend. I have felt last year, my body clock was sort of wrong, so now I want to get back into better practice.
I am feeling good physically and I could be better mentally.
Not being able to sit with a friend group that I have at lunch because of my mental state right now.
I am grateful that I had a different friend group that I sat with at lunch today.
Focusing on my mental health and trying to make time to join in on the In Your Own Voice-Hearing at 12:00 would be things I can do that would be good for me and my mental health.
I’m feeling tired but mentally I’m pretty good. A bit nervous for the snow storm we’re supposed to get this weekend.
work is taking up my headspace currently but also school, laundry, and everyday life.
im grateful for my fiancé, my daughter, my cats, and this community for being an outlet.
i can focus on my work, get as much done, and leave it at work and focus on home when I’m at home.

1. Tired, and I am in a bad mood
2. My girlfriend and how she's been doing
3. I am thankful for my bestfriends
4. I can go for a walk and list 1 good thing about everyone in my life.
1. Really sore, but better than yesterday! Mentally I'm a little bored, I think.
2. Probably how much my neck hurts. The booster shot and I got in a fight, and the booster shot won!
3. I'm grateful for the food I have in my fridge, because I'm about to get a snack and I really can't afford to keep ordering out
4. Maybe take a nice long bath to help the soreness in my body!
🌿 How am I feeling today? (Mentally and Physically)
Worn down. I'm not sure precisely what is causing it to be so bad recently, but every single thing feels like a final straw. I am so frustrated and feel so hopeless.
🌿 What’s taking up most of my headspace?
Work is not coming easy these last few days. I feel the desire to put off all my daily and weekly responsibilities and just retreat for some amount of time. This is a frightening thought to me because we've ostensibly all just been off for the holidays; if I feel I need to retreat now, will I always feel I need to retreat? If I allow myself what I think I need, will I just keep thinking I need it?
🌿 What are you grateful for right now?
I'm grateful for being able to attend courses from home.
🌿 What's something you can do today that would be good for you?
I can try to reframe some of these tiring work tasks as contributing to my craft, and my improvement of my craft.
I'm feeling good today. Woke and got up early today. The day's going good.
Work ideas
Time to focus on myself
Relax in a hot tub and read my Bible/ &)R talk to my friends on the phone
