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.

@Dark_Olena I get stones from the beach.

You are right, some are porous, but you can seal them. Also some paints aren’t a good match. Don’t give up. My first ones were embarrassing, putting it mildly.

In the ‘ Craft Corner’ thread, there are more, if you are interested in having a look there. @CheerBear is a natural.

Hey everyone! I did a lot today thanks to the magic of multitasking 😂

Went for a long walk down to the river ticking off exercise, spending time in nature and smiling at a stranger. ✔️✔️✔️
Watched a favourite movie or rather a sequel... Halloween.. ✔️

Messaged someone for no reason this morning. ✔️

Did some cross stitch.. that's something creative ✔️
Now this one might not count but I consider it part of gardening and my garden doesn't require anything else at this time of year.. picking up dog :pile_of_poo: ✔️

Took a shower ✔️
5 things I do well... cook.. walk hills... survive... clean my home... help others. ✔️

Wow, you are all doing so well! @Escaped_Goat @Shaz51 @Former-Member @BlueBay @Maggie @frog @Dark_Olena @Former-Member @Former-Member @CheerBear

And some beautiful pictures...and such a cute little dog @Maggie !

All I managed today was: took one hour at a time, and meditated. But I was glad to do both those things.

Evening everyone, I was one activity away from a complete line today.

I smiled at a stranger

I took a phote of they sky

i did a fur babie photo shoot

I took 2 naps.

I just didn't get in the exercise Unless I am aloud to count the 5 trips up and down my 13 stairs helping my daughter move out today🤨

My favourite thing to do as a child and I still do it occasionally is to find shapes in the clouds.

My little old girl Nics, sunny herself this morning. She is looking kinda chubby 😂

(I am not sure why my photos keep turning sideways when I post them here)

@NatureLover @Shaz51 @Former-Member @Escaped_Goat @BlueBay @Maggie @Former-Member and everyone else passing thru.
