WEEKEND ICEBREAKERS

Great icebreaker!

let’s see…

to de stress I enjoy listening to an audio book while going for a walk with my baby.

My favorite holiday would have to be Christmas because it’s an entire season instead of one day. And my mom likes to decorate right after thanksgiving, so end of November. And she leaves the decorations up until a few days after New Years. So it’s actually about 6 weeks of Christmas by my mom. And I love it. It’s so festive and cozy. And familiar.

I tend to live in the future. It gives me hope, keeps me thriving and striving.

I’ve never thought about a soul animal before. I’d assume a lion because of my star sign I’ve always considered myself a lion. I compare well with a lion in terms of being cuddly but very protective, sometimes lazy but also having bursts of energy. But if I never knew my star sign maybe I would have a different analysis of myself. Something to consider.

To destress I:

• Spend time with my therapy animals
• use music to calm me & swaddle myself like a giant baby in a warm, soft comfy blanket
• journaling & setting goals/ taking a step back and prioritising what aligns with my values
• go for a walk in nature - bare feet on the grass or in the sand is very grounding, as is the sound of the waves of the ocean or birds chirping or rain on the rooftop or footpath
• have a relaxing bath & diffuse essential oils or light a nice smelling candle 🕯
• deep breathing & positive visualisation.

favourite holiday?

Easter

i tend to live in the past - so many answers to the questions that have always haunted me and continue to haunt me to this day belong in the past. I’d give anything to know the truth!

soul animal?

definitely rabbit 🐇 they are naturally cautious and timid and always on the defensive due to their status as a prey animal. However they are curious and can even be affectionate once they come out of their shell and learn to trust you.

@jersey123456 thanks for the post Jersey 🤗

I'm forgetful, I can't live in the past 😂 Future, perhaps most fit. I often imagine what will the world looks like in [year in the future]

drawing, listening to music, spending 5 hours colouring a colouring in from a colouring in book.

Which is your favorite holiday?

not any really 😊

Do you tend to live in the past, present, or future more?

D: I’m Emosaurus Rex, from the jurassic period. The present sucks, the past sucks, the future probably also sucks, so lets go back to the jurassic time period 😛

What is your soul animal ?

part goldfish and part night owl ;-;

I love this. Umm activities that would de-stress me are reading, listening to music, playing my flute, and cuddling with my doggos while watching Grey's Anatomy.

Halloween is probably my favorite holiday because you can express yourself however you want on that day with no one thinking you look crazy.

I live in the future more because it gives me hope and something to hold on to.

I'm not sure what my soul animal is but my patrons is a St. Brendard doggo

Hello, Jersey! It's very nice to meet you. These are some really great icebreakers! ❤️

(1) Can you list a few activities that help to de-stress you?

Some activities that help me de-stress include dancing, drawing, writing poems, and spending time with some amazing people here on 7 Cups.

Which is your favorite holiday?

Hmm...this is a tricky one, but I would say Thanksgiving! I absolutely love food, and this a day of being thankful those who you are close with...plus so much foooood! 😛

Do you tend to live in the past, present, or future more?

Well, I would tend to live in the present because it's important not to think about the negative things in the past or dwell on the eventual future. Living the present means being confident in yourself and giving yourself the time to grow without giving yourself too many expectations to live up to.

What is your soul animal ?

My spirit animal is the cardinal. With its brilliant crimson wings and lovely features, it is the animal that provides me so much hope for a better future. They also symbolize comfort and luck, which I always seek for. Whenever I see a cardinal around, I smile and think about all of the pleasant memories in my life, and the dark and negative thoughts rush out of me instantly. 😊

👋

How’s everyone doing?

Can you list a few activities that help to de-stress you?

Walking to the laundromat - by the time I get there the feel good chemicals have kicked in. Also, browsing in the shops sometimes (unless I spin out about being poor) and water stuff - showering, a bath, walking on the beach.

Which is your favorite holiday?

Holidays were always times of drama in my family. So not a fan.

Do you tend to live in the past, present, or future more?

Somewhere in the space between them.

What is your soul animal ?

Probably a penguin with a spirit bear’s head and a black sheep’s tail. And a Phoenix heart.

To de-stress I love working out at the gym. Talking walks and checking out my social media pages.

My favourite holiday is Halloween because i get to wear cool outfits and get super creative with makeup.

I mostly live in the present but keeping inmind that the future is yet to take place.

My soul animal has to be a black panther no other way.

Thank you!!!!
