**AND ANY & ALL "NEWBIES" THAT WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH US
🍁This past week went well, and quick~ .... Last weekend on Saturday we got out & about to a Christmas Festival in a nearby town. It was a really great start leading up to the holiday this past week... And it was nice to look at the different vendors, holiday decorations, & it was actually a beautiful day for it all.... Sunday I ran some small errands before the week began and then once home I got my Christmas tree completely decorated to start off the week.~
🍂Monday I got back on track with my "mini-week" of Group fitness classes (as my facilities were both closed on Thanksgiving Day & Friday)... But I still managed to stay on track throughout the week with activity (even on Thanksgiving morning)... However, on Thanksgiving I simply stayed "mindful" and allowed myself to just enjoy the holiday, the dinner, and time with my little family..
🍁This weekend ahead I will get back on track with my group fitness & attend my early morning Saturday Zumba class.... Then afterwards intentions are to go to another Christmas festival, & possibly check out some holiday lights in the evening… And I'm also looking forwards to heading into the new month ahead and finishing the year strong with my personal goals! 💪🏼👍🏼… Simply trying to keep focus on positive & healthy things (& personal goals) daily, helps in keeping me motivated and staying the course in my overall well-being.. (even in challenging moments)… Which for me is Essential.
Everything has been good, and things have been really good today excluding a few things but overall good!
It was good! Thanksgiving went great and I spent with family, honestly i felt it was bumpy but good!
My personal goal is to continue achieving my two internships and being the best quality mentor as possible!
Honestly, It doesn't really matter as long as my husband and daughter are by my side!
Highlights: I have received three certificates this month for my hard work hear on 7cups, got aba started for my daughter and she's doing good in speech therapy. I'm close to getting my GED soon!
Struggles: I have had others assume my intentions and gaslight me for my empathy, then try to manipulate into feeling bad for being kind.
For me; I have been able to accomplish alot this month, whether others recognize it or not I know how much work I have put into the things I enjoy. My husband supports me and my daughter's getting the proper resources, an that is all that matters!
@InsightfulPhoenix
Hey there~ That’s great that things have been well for you overall recently~ And (despite you feeling it was bumpy) that your Thanksgiving went good for you in the end.
I think it’s great that you are focusing on your goals with your internships and working towards doing the best that you can in your role!
Despite your struggles (with gaslighting & manipulation issues), it appears that you have quite a list of highlights to compensate for that!… It seems you are making a lot of headway with your goals for yourself (as well as your daughter)! Continue to keep up the great work you are doing there. And congrats on the 3 certificates that you achieved as well as best wishes ahead on that GED!
It looks like you are definitely making strides towards bettering yourself & focusing on your goals. As well as doing the best that you can for your family. And you are right, as that is all that matters. And nobody else gets to have a say in that for you. So keep going forwards in doing what you are doing. And great job on your accomplishments.
Thanks for checking in to share and keeping us updated. And Please continue to keep us posted on how things are going & moving along for you.
@PoliteOcean Sunday I took a shower. It was an ordeal. The bathroom isn't up to the building code in my state. I'm very worried about falling down and not being able to get up or crack my head. Tuesday Leslie was 30 minutes late with breakfast. I really hate that because my back muscles get severely cramped. I wonder if she was subconsciously trying to sabotage my blood test that I had scheduled later that day. Later Tuesday I got my blood test done. I went to LabCorp. It was an ordeal because it was located in a remote part of the city. The stupid politicians don't care about the ordinary people. They just want money. I tried to get my COVID card laminated but the business was closed for all of November. Wednesday I cleared up my username and password issues for Experian. My credit score has gone up 120 points this year. Thursday Stuart abused me again. I put Argan oil on my feet for the first time since James has moved out. Leslie served me a terrible Thanksgiving dinner. I made good progress on my quotation journal. Friday I tried to go for a walk by the marina but it smelled like a waste water overflow. For this upcoming week I have an appointment at the DMV to renew my photo ID on Monday and Thursday I have an appointment with my doctor to review my blood test results. I already looked at my blood test results on LabCorp web site and everything looks fantastic. I really enjoy James not being here. I hope if Leslie gets a new client she puts him in Stuarts bedroom. They can have a fece festival together. (that's a joke). I had to break up with my girlfriend Evelyn because she was nagging me about money too much. I told her the first day we met I wasn't going to send her any money but that didn't stop her from asking.
@Regmo
Hey Regmo~ oh my the bathroom situation does sound like an ordeal if it’s not providing the safety that it needs for those living in the household. I’m surprised that this wasn’t an issue when Leslie first got this house for everyone… As far as your blood test it’s probably a good thing that you finally got it done & out of the way regardless of the location. Now that’s one thing done & off your to-do list…. Sounds like your credit score is definitely something to be grateful for this year. As that’s quite a jump. It also Sounds like other positives & highlights of your week have been getting to use your Argan oil, making good progress on your journal, as well as your online results of your bloodwork... It seems like you did the right thing in putting a stop to someone whose goal is to ask you for money. To me that’s seemingly a scam of some sort… It appears like you have a busy week of appointments ahead. At least you already have a positive jumpstart on one of them by already knowing your results in advance. Keep us updated on how things go and thanks for checking in to share your week.
Hey Everyone~ Welcome to the weekend~ How are things going for you today?YouTube is boring. I ate cinnamon sugar butter bread this morning, hyper focused on chasing a squirrel down a rabbit hole to find the shiny "reality TV" secrets. All because the abomination of a show "worlds strictest parents" was on my YouTube recommended. Then I talked to my sister. What brought me to this site was actually while watching a YouTube video of abusive parents getting arrested... I had a flashback of my own life and a situation that happened between my parents when I was an adult. I was not about to be a witness so this was 1 of the only times that the flight response was triggered not the other 3. I called a member of my Cult to just vent...instead of calling the cops. I convinced them not to call the cops. I didn't call, I just vented to someone I called a friend at the time (I was not invited to her wedding or told when she moved), before going back to the house so I could go to work as if nothing happened. Nobody in charge ever found out.
🌾This is our "Final" Check-in for the Month of November~.... How did the past week go for you?...How was your Thanksgiving holiday if you celebrated?... And how do you feel the past month personally went for you overall? This week was boring. Monday was actually ok. It was the last day I had bus pass so I've been in the hotel room for the past several days straight. Monday I went hunting for food and jobs. I got food from 4 different churches. It was a big long adventure late into the night I got back to the safety of my room. Been here ever since. I argued with my old neighbor that I couldn't meet her at a store 30min. Away because I'm not walking that while my bus pass was expired. The next day She finally understood and she came to my hotel to drop off a really big blessing in the form of a gift card to the store❣ I have just ate and slept since Tuesday. Thanksgiving I called it a night by 3pm. I had a bit of oatmeal and a bit of ramen and I was too bored to stay awake. Yesterday I ate more oatmeal, ate half a apple pie, a bit more ramen, and a bit of cheddar. November is just passing me by, in trouble as always and receiving no help in straightening my life out. I keep getting told by everyone "you don't quite fall into our category of expertise".
🍁As this month comes to a close, What is a personal goal that you can focus on for yourself "today" to set yourself up for the new month ahead?!
Honestly I'm stuck on this one and would love to explore because I have no clue. I'm currently out of work while homeless and everything is closed for the holidays. I have another week or 2 before they allow me to work again. I don't have my bus pass or anything so I'm pretty much stuck in my hotel room without a tv
If I'm by myself I can see hot chocolate and movie, but with good company I'd rather music and holiday drink of each person's choice (mine is eggnog or hot chocolate)
@alexaners7734
Hey there~ Sorry to hear that your week was boring for you. I think it’s great that you were however able to get out & look for jobs, and able to get Food from several churches. As well as being blessed by someone with a giftcard. All definitely highlights for you there. And im sure you found it very helpful.
We truly hope and send best wishes to you that things start to come together for you with a job this month. Have you tried looking into “Temp agencies”? If there is one near you, Perhaps they could help in placing you in a position to help you get back on your feet. This time of year is also the time for “seasonal work” as well. Nothing with too much of a commitment as well as giving you time to look for something more steady in the meantime.
But we send you best wishes with things & your situation in this new month ahead. And continue to keep us updated on how things are going for you. We are here to support you at Cups. And thank you for checking in to share your week.
Hey Everyone~ Welcome to the weekend~ How are things going for you today? Today things are ok. I was out late last night for my son's indoor soccer tournament. Didn't get home until after midnight and in bed by about 1230. I managed to stay asleep until about 745, which is good for me, all things considered. Today has been a lazy morning, television, breakfast, about 40 minutes of stretching and mobility things as my workout and that is about it. I plan on doing nothing but working on my NASM class this afternoon if all goes well.....
🌾This is our "Final" Check-in for the Month of November~.... How did the past week go for you?...This past week was good based on training three days, working Thanksgiving, and then having Friday and Saturday off....Not being in my place of employment except that one day has really helped my mental and emotional state because I've slipped into this familiar dark place that I go to every so often, and work never helps....I won't go into why I am where I am right now or what its about....this is supposed to be a positive, grateful, thankful thread and I've been having a hard time keeping my deepest thoughts in that frame of mind.....I really am trying to be more positive in life so I'm fighting this right now....How was your Thanksgiving holiday if you celebrated?...Did not celebrate....worked, came home and watched television with my girlfriend....thats about it.... And how do you feel the past month personally went for you overall? Other than this recent spiral into my dark place, the month itself was ok.....something positive to show.....
🌾JUST FOR FUN:.. Would you Rather: a Cozy Day at Home with Holiday Movies & Hot Chocolate... OR.. a Cozy Night Home by the Fireplace with Holiday music & a latte?!~ How about both....Just a whole weekend of it....
🍁What were your "Highlights Or Struggles" of the week?.... How were you able to work through your challenges?! See above for both....I'm still working through it.....I will be ok in the long run, I always am...its just a matter of how long it take me to suppress the emotions and move on....for what its worth, I've learned to do a great job hiding it.....
🌾What is something that "YOU" want to Talk about, Add or Share with us this week?... WE want to hear from YOU~ I know I've been pretty vague about my problem and struggles this week but I feel it isn't something that should be shared here....I will continue to look for gratitude where I can and continue to try to be thankful moving forward....I am not trying to make excuses but sometimes I find gratitude and thankfulness do not help to overcome the emotions that one goes through, you just have to "deal with it the best you can until it goes away".....right or wrong, I don't know...Its how I feel though....sorry this post hasn't been as cheery as some of my last ones.....
@CyclingThroughLife
Hey there Cycling 🚴 ~
That’s good that things are going well and that you were able to finally relax and have a “do-nothing” day (other than what you felt like doing that is)! … We all need & deserve those for our mental health & overall well-being. Hopefully you were able to put some time in on your NASM class~ (And your sleep hours sound amazing for you)! I know how much you were trying to work on that.
I think it’s great that you were able to have the time off & away from work as you needed… I do understand & get how our places of employment can actually hinder our wellbeing at times…. (And when it seems to be most of the time, that obviously just makes it worse)…. I have found that when I would feel that way & overwhelmed that it was because I was putting too much on myself & taking on too much basically “trying to please everyone” but myself. It took a long time for me to realize that, but once I did I had a better understanding of what needed to be done for my mental wellness & to be more stable overall…. I think it’s really wonderful (& important) that you are trying to keep yourself in a more positive state of mind. I know it can be challenging (& not all days will be 100%)!.. but just the fact that you are trying can help you in so many ways. But also remember that we are here to listen & support you! ….. And despite the recent state that you feel you are in, I’m glad for you that overall it was a decent month for you.
JUST FOR FUN: (I’m with you on the “both” response)! It all certainly does sound good (and cozy)!
As far as your recent “struggles”, I think you are doing a great job at trying to push through the challenges to keep a positive & healthy mindset about whatever is going on…. However, it can also be good to remind ourselves that we don’t always have to suppress things or be the “strong” one! And that It’s okay to “Not be ok”! And also that talking it out and/or releasing the negative can be just as positive & healthy experience too! Again we are here for you. Please know that~ Sending many positive vibes your ways on whatever is going on and hope that things work themselves out for you soon.
Thank you Cycling for checking in this week and sharing. And for simply keeping us posted on how you are doing. Please continue to let us know how everything is going & moving along for you.
@PoliteOcean
Hi, Ocean
It sounds like you have such a visual life...like all the festivals you go to.
Hey Everyone~ Welcome to the weekend~ How are things going for you today? Today started out bad. I was full of anxiety about a slide show I was working on. I was afraid that I wouldn't finish it in time for wednesday. But, I finished it today, so my day ended great.
🌾This is our "Final" Check-in for the Month of November~.... How did the past week go for you?...How was your Thanksgiving holiday if you celebrated?... And how do you feel the past month personally went for you overall? The week ended well because I had four days off. Thanksgiving day was great, just relaxing with my cat. Watched a Mariah Carrey special. The past month has been painfully stressful.
🍁As this month comes to a close, What is a personal goal that you can focus on for yourself "today" to set yourself up for the new month ahead?! I'm still dieting.
🌾JUST FOR FUN:.. Would you Rather: a Cozy Day at Home with Holiday Movies & Hot Chocolate... OR.. a Cozy Night Home by the Fireplace with Holiday music & a latte?!~ I think a cozy day at home.
🍁What were your "Highlights Or Struggles" of the week?.... How were you able to work through your challenges?! My challenges were the slide show I was working on. I just pushed ahead.
@purpleTree4652
Hi there Tree~
Lol… yes I have to constantly be doing something if it’s nice out particularly on the weekends. Otherwise I can find myself getting bored very quickly, which then can lead to a downward spiral of feeling very moody & then depressed… And that is definitely no good for myself or anyone around me! So I’m always on the lookout for things to do.
——-
Sorry to hear that you were feeling anxious about an assignment, but it’s great you were able to get it completed and get back to feeling better about things….
It’s also wonderful for you that you were able to get some time off from things for the holiday and relax from your stressors of the past month. (Along with getting to watch the Mariah special).. I love her music!
It’s good that you are still setting a focus and a goal for yourself by focusing on your diet. Which can be challenging in itself when you are under stress! So good for you and keep up the great work!
Despite any challenges through the week (& month) it’s good that you are staying the course & pushing through them! That’s definitely a positive.
Thank you Tree for checking in & sharing your week with us and please continue to keep us updated on how you are doing.
