Daily Check In Space

Hello everyone and thank you to @cloudcore for creating this wonderful thread, what a brilliant idea!

1) How are you feeling?

8 - feeling good

2) What is one thing you have struggled with, and one thing you have done well?

I struggled with getting out of bed this morning as I've had a busy week, but I did it! And I am focussing really hard on being present today.

3) What is one nice thing you can do for yourself today?

I plan on doing a face mask with a nice candle on later this evening.

Be kind to yourselves 🍃🌺

Hey there @Shaz51 🌺🙂

thanks heaps for the tag 💜

These days with so much happening that forgetting to look after ourselves is often, a thread like this one is a great reminder to check in - it’s nice to remind each other and ourselves how good it is to take a sec for care and wellbeing 🙂💜🌺

Of course @Shaz51

💜💜🙂🌺☺️

Hello @Shaz51 thank you for including me...i am up and down trying to ride lifes waves....when I got home this afternoon I began a visual meditation but fell asleep, either way it was nice...I hope you are feeling well???🧘‍♀️🌻

@Shaz51 and @Former-Member ,

Thank you for the tag. I hope you are both well.

Today I feel a 4.

We had a difficult couple psychologist session yesterday. My husband is detached today and has re-treated to his own world. It feels very lonely in this marriage at times. Sometimes I wonder if time away from each other may brings us closer. But it's not really an option with young kids.

I am very sad today. I have my own therapist session later today. Hopefully that might help me.

Hope you are all well.

Love and hugs to you all.

Hey there @Healandlove 🌺💜

A little slower start today for me, but momentum is growing and I’m getting stuff done, thank you kindly for asking 🙂

I’m so sorry to hear things are hard for you guys, and it’s impacting on your relationship ❤️‍🩹

I’m divorced, so I have some understanding of how hard things can be at times in a long term relationship ❤️‍🩹

I’m sorry you’re feeling sad, however I just want to say gently that I’m sitting with you, sharing this space🌺💜

I hope the therapist session later today can help, and you can feel better 🌺💜

Big hugs 🫂 🌺

@Former-Member thank you so much for your message and sitting with me. Seeing my therapist helped a lot today. I will start EMDR next month to help me with some extended family loss due to my husband's cptsd as well as my extended family own issues.

We did a little bit of it today tapping into some memories and feelings and I can already feel something is different in me.

With my husband we are still hanging on and I hope we will come out of this together and OK. He does his own therapy with a trauma specialist and we do couple counselling.

Thank you again for being with me. I am glad you got momentum and can progress through the day. There's a big sense of accomplishment when we tick things off. I can only imagine the challenge that is divorce. I am glad you are here and that you got through it.

Thank Thank you again. Your kind words touched deeply. 🥲. 🙏🏻🩷🧡💜

Hey there @Healandlove 🌺🙂

No worries at all, more then happy to sit and hold space for what can be a very challenging place to be in 💜🌺

That’s really great news seeing your therapist helped, and further EMDR is being planned for you - especially after having experienced a bit of EMDR today and feeling a change 🙂🌺

It’s really hard to be in a place where the impact of traumas has a ripple effect, however I gently say that I see the bravery and hope that it takes to continue on, along with the resilience to cope while working towards moving forward, and how much this may not feel like a strength, but it totally is 🙂🌺💜

Thank you so much regarding getting things done - sometimes my physical health tries to capture my emotional health, which then influences how much I can get done, but I try my best to let my spirit and heart lead their own lives, and not be taken prisoner by my physical state, if that makes sense? 🙂🌺

Yes, divorce is hard, no doubt…but, there are times when sticking it out through hard times is what matters, as opposed to releasing the bond - the difference imho and in my experience, was when the direction changed from both of us trying to pull things in the same direction while maintaining commitment to each other (what makes it worth trying), to one of truly going in different directions with different purposes other than trying to collectively make things better. I felt, while there was connection, there was hope 🙂🌺

Having said that though, everybody’s situation is different, and there’s different aspects of connection and resilience that can endure💜🙂

Happy to hold space anytime Healandlove 🙂🌺💜
