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

Dear @Former-Member @dands26 just everyone....... @Appleblossom @Former-Member @Faith-and-Hope.....

thankyou for these wonderful messages........

I am just going to write.........thank you @utopia. I have enjoyed reading your messages. It's okay to overreact........we all make mistakes with our children........

I really like your word, hopeful.

Just to be open to say....."Oops......I might have been a little sillybilly...... um.........sorry....." this is a step for both of us so how can we work together so we both don't feel overwhelmed ?"

anyways back to me :

My words were not very good today. I felt like I could have used them better. My words today being : Focus and Balance. I think I tried to reach for the stars immediately and I must remember @Appleblossom s advice from a long time ago........to go gently.

Thank you @TAB for mentioning me.

If everyone wants, lets start again tomorrow ? Ill need to at least !! Maybe some can keep their words for a week ???

Thanks for being part of this activity.......

Re: Cards for the day

@PeppiPatty Whtat a great idea ... today definately Focus because my mind is all over the place and I have to focus better and ...Forgive which I have and will continue to do as it is healing for myself. Doesn't mean I forget or let myself get taken for a fool just means I can let go of my anger and hurt.

@PeppiPatty

1.Grateful
2.Calm

Grateful- That I did what I needed to do yesterday. Even tho the challenge to just push myself to do it, was stressful, at times, & a very BIG step to take, while being so unwell. I just pushed forward to get it, over & done with.

Calm- Trying now today to stay calm, knowing that I have done all that I needed to do yesterday. Now, today I choose to wait calmly, & trustingly. Knowing that GOD is going to work ALL things out for my good, in my health, & in my life, because I have always believed, & have chosen by my. Faith in GOD, to receive. Amen <>< 🙂 xo

Re: Cards for the day

I love this idea and this is such a lovely thread @PeppiPatty 💗

This reminded me of a beautiful set of cards that were a gift from a very special someone. Each one is a different strength you could choose to draw upon and use and I used to pick one, sometimes at random and sometimes intentionally, to be my "choice of the week". I haven't done it for a little while and seeing this thread has been like a gentle and timely reminder to pull them out again.
Here are the two I drew today (which couldn't be more fitting right now)
Creative because when I am stuck, creating anything is almost always the right way for me to "be" until I become unstuck.
And patient because I know healing takes time (even if it sucks that it does).

Re: Cards for the day

I super like this thread @PeppiPatty.

My cards would definitely be calm and patient. The thing is, they will most likely be my cards tomorrow too, and the next day, and the next day and the next day.... So I may not post on this thread again because, well, it could get kind-of repetitive.

Re: Cards for the day

Thank you @PeppiPatty for your lovely words.
Again I'll just pick one card. Focusing on two things, just feels to hard.
Today I choose - 'motivation'.
Motivation to help me get in the shower today.
Motivation to help me clean up the house a little. Put away the clean washing. Vacuum the floor.
I have been lacking motivation for a long time.
