I can’t cope

Afternoon lovelies!! @Bow @Captain24 @Snowie @NatureLover hope everyone is surviving the cold okay 😊

Heeeyyy @Jynx..

It’s cold wet and miserable here. Weather and mood.

Can I tell you about yesterday? It’s a repeat though and I think that may be against the guidelines.

Hey @Jynx my friend squishy hugs for ya.

cold here, rained yesterday and overnight.

Hi ya @Jynx

On the couch with Oodie, blanket, heater and dog. No intention of moving.

Hope your day is going well.

@Captain24 I'd be keen to hear about your Friday - I don't think the guidelines are referring to that, it'd be more like if you went to 5 different threads and posted the exact same story each time, for example.

But if you can't be bothered typing it all, I can scroll back through the thread? Up to you! Sometimes typing it out again can also be healing 😉

Definitely oodie weather for sure @Snowie! Brrrrr! I got my heater going right in front of my legs haha.

Squishy hugs right back @Bow! Hope you're keeping warm!

I’m super happy to type it. @Jynx

Well… I had a women in mining event out at work yesterday so I went out. I got there 10 minutes early as I don’t do late. There were 5 people there. 2 facilitators and 3 of us. I joined in in candid chat!!! Just all like a ‘normal’ person.

So these facilitators are the ones that had us do the VIA survey last year, which came in handy as it was all about strengths and at least I remembered them so I didn’t have to search deep to find them.

Then when we started they made

us all get up and go and meet people that we didn’t know and tell the a strength we have. Yep.. I did it and spoke to 4 different people.

During the presentation we got asked if anyone who had done the survey remembered their strength and how it made them feel. So yep…. I put my hand up. I volunteered to speak up in front of those people. I said honesty and I makes me feel as though I have integrity as a person. I nominated myself to speak not being made to speak..

GO ME!!!!

@Captain24 oh wow!! That's progress hun, so so proud of you!!

Here, you've earned it!!

How did you feel afterwards?

Super duper cool ay!! @Jynx

I felt empowered, strong, surprised and proud!

Then exhausted. It took a lot out of me but I did it.

How are you going?!

That makes sense @Captain24 having all that adrenaline pumping!! I always feel pretty wrecked after doing something that requires me to take such a big step outta my comfort zone! And then next time, it'll be just that little bit easier 😉

Did you do anything to celebrate? Tell me you at least got yourself a lil treat!! Some choccie or something?
