Join us for Wellbeing Week // New forum event starting 9am Monday 25th 9am AEST finishing Friday 29th 9pm AEST

For the week starting the Monday 25th of May, join us for Wellbeing Week, where we can get together to share in some wellbeing activities and adventures! @Tortoiseshell will be kicking off and hosting, with help from @nashy @Jupiter and @CheerBear

The theme of our first wellbeing week is Self-Care Bingo. We've all been through increased isolation and now are facing more transitions, so it's a good time to revisit how we support ourselves. The bingo card with different self-care activities will be posted here Monday 25th at 9am. You can follow this by printing it out at home or by going back to the first page of this discussion.

You might get 'bingo' but we will all be winners for doing some self-care 🏆🏆🏆 Keep us updated on progress in the thread, where we can encourage and support each other.

How do I get involved
Wellbeing Week will be text based, so no software needed. Refresh the page to keep up with the latest posts. Keep an eye for page numbers at the top & bottom of the page, and jump to the highest page number for the most recent post.

This was an awesome thread to read through this morning! I loved reading about everyone's day and seeing the photos that were shared. Well done everyone 🎇 And super awesome idea @Former-Member! I've saved a screenshot of the bingo card and plan on ticking off as many squares as possible throughout the week 🙂

Yesterday was my first day at a new job so a few of these really helped. Yesterday I:

* had a shower (then styled my hair - something I haven't been doing much of since stay home restrictions)

* organised a corner of my life - my desk. I made sure everything I had was neat and set up ready to go so I started off well

* took it one hour at a time - I felt overwhelmed and anxious leading up to yesterday, and taking it one hour at a time made it feel a lot less intimidating and a lot more manageable

* ate my favourite food - I don't really have a favourite food but something I love and don't do often is falafel kebab from a very cool local kebab place. I treated myself to one last night. It looked as fresh and delicious as this (mine was never going to last long enough in my hands to take a photo 😉😆)

Looking forward to seeing what today brings for everyone 😊❤

Hi there @Peri ... good to see you here overnight. Love the photo of little Phoebe. And yeah I agree, its not advisable to post a pic of ourselves having a shower. 😊🤣👍

Dont forget that this thread is open all week, so you can come back again and tick another bingo box any day this week.

I was off to a slow start yesterday with only one box ticked off but hoping to do more for myself by the end of today. A good start with a photo of my little Poppy under her blanket as usual on these chilly mornings.

@Former-Member @Former-Member @NatureLover and everyone else participating here.

Thanks @Former-Member, love your doggy pic. I did go for a long walk through the pines and gum trees. I see why they call it forest bathing, So good for the mind. I love and need arvo naps too. Appreciate the tip for sealer at spotlight .

Great job on your activities @CheerBear. I can’t stop thinking about that falafel wrap. Either buy or make. Do you think it matter how long it takes to fill up the bingo chart? Mine may last a few days
