26th Dec Wellbeing Wednesday Activity
Our second Wellbeing Wednesday activity!
@Jay-RO introduced the idea over here - and we will be posting a new activity each Wednesday for everyone to participate in if you'd like!
So this week, we're doing a bit of reflection on what we are grateful for and sharing a picture (remembering to be anonymous) or describing what we are grateful for.
Have a think of what you are grateful for - could be something recently, in your overall life, anything!
Write down 3 things you are grateful for
My example
I'm grateful for
1. My psychologist - since I met her she's been someone who I can confide in and help guide me along my recovery
2. RO - I am grateful for the support I've received over the years and how current and past staff, mods and users have really helped shape who I am and enabled me to get the help I needed. I'm also grateful that now I am able to give back to an organisation who has helped me soo much!
3. Technology - advances in technology mean that we get cooling on hot days! And without that IDK how we'd manage in this heatwave we're getting 😛
Give it a go! I would love to hear your reflections, but no pressure to share if you'd prefer to do this one solo 🙂 Also remember we have this thread Today I am grateful for...
Comments
2. my car and my licence- for without it i wouldnt have the freedom i have now even though its very restricted.
3. music- it has been the only constant helpful thing in my life. It gives me a good escape, drowns out thoughts and brings abit of peace in the chaos of life.
lovely things to be grateful for 😉 @Bee
1. my khl counsellor - she has been a strong support especially recently and im very thankful for her guiding me through the thick and thin
2. RO - i may have not been here for as long some of you hehe @Bee but im beyond grateful for all the support and love ive received over the last 6 months:) from @Jess1-RO contacting G that stressed me out but now im super thankful for and just the vibes of this community is amazing truely is a home 🙂
3. my beautiful internet friends - ever since i made a recovery account on instagram, not too sure im in recovery but im trying 🙂 ive met the most amazing aussie and kiwis who constantly send me messages to check in
I didn't know whether or not we'd do this this week because of Boxing Day Yay!
I'm grateful for:
1. My puppies. They constantly light up my world, their unconditional love, loyalty and personalities never fail to make me smile 🙂 I love them so much and they're one of the best things to ever happen to me.
2. RO. I agree with you guys @Bee and @litgym! RO is honestly one of, if not the best supports out there and I wish that more people knew about this service. The time and effort people go to to respond to your messages with support and helpfulness is so incredibly sweet and lovely. I love how people find ways to support others even thought they're struggling and need support themselves.
3. My Mum. 🙂 Though she has her flaws she's always stuck by me and she's made up for the fact that I only have one stable and supportive parent. She's raised me through the hardships and I'm forever thankful to her for that :0
I'm a bit late to this but wanted to still contribute 🙂
Three things I'm grateful for:
- My psych, even though I haven't seen him for a couple of weeks. Having a constant support over the last few years has done wonders for my progress
- Education. I'm currently trying to get a head start on the units I'll be doing next year, as it'll be my final year of undergrad (!!!) and I need good marks if I want to do honours
- ABC Kids. I'm currently watching Teletubbies on the TV and I love the innocence and nostalgia 😛
Three things I'm grateful for:
1. RO: Even though this has been mentioned so many times by the other users, RO really is one of the most supportive communities out there and I love how everyone is so nice, patient, welcoming and inclusive :). It can be unbelievable just how awesome this community is :). It makes sharing our lived experiences really worthwhile and for that, I'm truly grateful 🙂
2. Books: They were literally the things that got me out of my dark times (especially last year) and encouraged me to practice self-compassion.
3. My brother: For supporting me and having my back (especially with work)
Btw, I'm totally loving Wellbeing Wednesdays!
Three things I'm grateful for:
1. That friend who listens. I feel like I'm a bother but you keep proving me wrong. So a bazillion thank yous, friend.
2. My managers. They are fantastic people who helped me so much and I am so grateful. You rock.
3. That Stimtastic posts to Australia. I love their stuff, so much awesome stimmy things that are way to expensive here in Australia 😛
I love this thread- can't resist joining the discussion!
I am grateful for...
1. My partner and family- they are my rock
2. Our amazing forum members- you all inspire me every day!
3. My dog Oscar, who has taught me so much about unconditional love!
