Cards for the day

Cards for the day

Jeepers kreepers, Has'nt this forums changed for the absolute better in the past couple of years........

I feel people are more meaningful.......

I have changed my self care to the better as well,,,,,last time we saw our wonderful Relationships Australia therapist, we chose cards on how we feel about ourselves.

For us...Mr g and me.....we chose two cards each on how we feel about how the relationship is......

I thought......maybe I could start a thread on what cards we would choose for ourselves for the day in lived Experience forum??

Just creatively think of a word that you feel that will be something for you to focus on for the day !!

So, lets think of two cards that we would choose for ourselves ..either in our relationship with our children or pets or ...partner or......even the plants around us.......or with the Forum !!

This morning: I would choose Balance & Focus.

Focus because I have LOTS to do and I am not focusing on what I am meant to do these days.

Balance because I'm better if I feel like I'm being heard when I do my bits and pieces and not think that I'm a waste of time.

Re: Cards for the day

Hello lovely @Shaz51 🙂

What a great idea @PeppiPatty

My cards for the day would be calmness and enjoyment, as it is the beginning of the week and I tend to overwhelm myself with everything I need to do, but best to take it day by day and feel more calm in what I need to do just for today. And enjoyment; taking the time to enjoy small things throughout today, such as a yummy dinner and a movie afterwards on the couch tonight 🙂

Re: Cards for the day

@PeppiPatty and others. My son moved in with my mum towards the end if April this year. I over reacted and told him to get out. I was so sick then. He finally came home last Tuesday. All his belongings are back in his room. Although my depression keeps lifting more each week, I'm still not back to 'normal'. So I'm rather nervous with him being here. I have to cook everyday again. I have to be a full time mum again - so I'm nervous. But at the same time I'm hopeful that we can keep rebuilding our relationship and reestablish a mother / son relationship.

Re: Cards for the day

My cards for the day are: Foregiveness and Acceptance.

Great idea @PeppiPatty. And I love the other posts from everyone else as well @TAB @utopia @Shaz51 @Former-Member. @Faith-and-Hope, it sounds like things have been pretty difficult for you over the weekend. Sorry to hear that, and I hope things improve soon. Pity you are unable to discuss it on the Forums, as it often helps to get things off our chest. I hope you have other methods of resolution which help.

Kindest thoughts to you all.

Sherry

Re: Cards for the day

Hi @PeppiPatty,

Great thread 😀

My cards would be faith and positivity

Faith giving me certainty that everything will turn out good, because I worry way too much about everything at the moment, which is sending my anxiety and blood pressure soaring (I had a bp reading today of 171 - dangerous)

And positive thinking to be able to endure the worst presently until that good outcome comes about, one day at a time which also reduces worry and stress. The latter two are my greatest enemies that I am self inflicting. Even though my worries are real, it's not helping but making everything worse.
