~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Hey hi hello! Welcome to the second iteration of...

~ The Toolshed ~

I decided to make a new thread, as the first one had errors and phantom pages, and was getting quite long! You can still find all the amazing pics, inspiring quotes, and uplifting messages of the first Toolshed here.

What is the Toolshed? Ain't a place to hang your hammer! Hehe this is a space where we can share the things that have helped us in our recovery. Tools, coping skills, inspiring ideas, and messages of hope and growth, is what this space is all about!!

You can stay connected and up to date on this space by favouriting, or by subscribing to the thread - head to the top of the page, and find the three dots to the right of the thread title (next to the star), click, and from the drop down menu you can 'favourite' or 'subscribe' - and clicking the star itself will also favourite the thread for you.

Favourite threads are then always available in your favourites list which should appear on the right hand side of most forums pages - or you can go to your profile and scroll down to the 'Favourites' section under your recent posts.

If you subscribe, it means that you will get a notification every time someone posts something new in the thread. So up to you if you simply want it to be always accessible, or if you want all the updates, or both!

I invite anyone who wishes to contribute to do so! It doesn't have to be pictures, it can be discussion, questions, videos, whatever you like! So without further ado, here's my latest batch!

Good morning i hope your day is kind to you today.

The morning has not been good for me, i've badly nauseated since 4:30am this morning, also feeling betrayed, unloved, unwanted, forsaken and alone. It can be hard to facing the truth of unfaithfulness, especially those you had never expected it from.

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Oh dear @DownMoreThanUp

You feeling nauseous is not good at all

You can be assured that you're feelings are not taken lightly and that you are loved and supported here ❤️

Have you eaten? Been able to hold anything down?

Yes that rabbit hole 🕳 is a nasty place to find yourself in.

I really hope you can find your way out of it today

Please be gentle with yourself

Taali 💙

Hello @MissGremlin just been on the rebounder. Feel a lot better. Just been checking out Venus retrograde which is currently in shadow and goes retro around 3rd of October. I read these excellent guidelines for Venus retrograde via AI

Venus retrograde is primarily a period for introspection, reassessment, and healing rather than initiating new external actions. It is an optimal time to evaluate your relationship with yourself, your finances, and your romantic connections.

Key activities to embrace include:

  • Self-Reflection and Healing: Engage in therapy, journaling, and meditation to address unresolved emotional wounds and limiting beliefs. Focus on self-love and re-evaluating your personal values and self-worth.
  • Financial Review: Analyze your spending habits, review budgets, and reassess financial goals. It is an excellent time to renegotiate bills, collect money owed, or organize finances, but avoid major purchases or new investments.
  • Reconnecting with the Past: Use the energy to revisit old relationships for closure or to reconnect with exes and old friends, though you should avoid rushing into new commitments or reconciliations without serious reflection.
  • Decluttering and Realigning: Clean out your wardrobe, dispose of belongings you no longer love, and research aesthetic or style changes. Delay drastic beauty treatments or cosmetic surgeries until after the retrograde ends to avoid regret.
  • Mindful Creativity: Engage in creative practices like vision boarding, revisiting old passion projects, or exploring your sexuality in a safe, reflective manner.

Avoid making impulsive decisions, starting new romantic relationships, or undertaking dramatic physical changes, as clarity is often delayed until Venus stations direct.
