Welcome to Litsy!

1. Today was a lot. Just put away my computer and tomorrow is looking to be more intense (6 hours of being on an interview panel for a new principal after 4 hours of teaching—ugh).
2. I find most affirmations cheesy, but many of my students love them. Whatever works to get ya through the day🤷🏻‍♀️ My fav: It‘ll be good. It‘ll be great. It‘ll be over.

1. Tired; I had a fairly busy day: cleaned the inside of my car, did laundry, drove my grandpa to see my grandma (they live in separate facilities), and went to a book club meeting.
2. They‘re ok, I suppose. I often repeat things like “It‘s okay” while rubbing a tchotchke or my Joy for All robotic ginger cat.

1️⃣ Well, it‘s 7PM & I just shut down my computer for the day & have a slamming headache. It was definitely a MONDAY.😵‍💫🤕🥴

2️⃣ I don‘t use affirmations much but think they can be helpful to remember when you need them. When I‘m doubting myself in general, I will say or write down, “I am enough.” When it‘s a bad day at work & I‘ve messed up, I remind myself that “I am growing and learning every day.” Sometimes it helps ⬇️

1.I had a hard morning because of some tax problems but after later therapy I chose to focus today on things that I enjoy for myself and own them regardless of others.
2. Positive affirmations don't do much for me except I do get help out of biblical ones.

1) The news today was horrific so I bounce between anger and despair. However, I worked today and the sun shone bright and warm so I did have breaks from the doom & gloom.
2) I have never been able to use positive affirmations, just not my thing.

@Kerrbearlib

1. I want to kick Bukele right in the nuts and then say “oopsie.” Other than that, I‘m feeling okay I guess.
2. I agree with the idea of affirmations in theory, but I don‘t really use them myself…not even badass affirmations. Maybe I should look into it?

#1. I‘m feeling anxious & overwhelmed. There‘re lots I want to do & I don‘t know where to begin. I wish I had a personal assistant to help me stay on track. 😩
#2. It depends on the affirmation, but overall I‘m not a fan. I especially don‘t like ones about money and success. Positive thinking is helpful tool in many situations, but it won‘t make us rich or solve all our problems. ⬇️

1) Although I had to work it was 73 degrees today and lovely. A beautiful day goes a long way in improving my mood.
2) I‘m going with neutral leaning towards positive. I keep the negative to a minimum and have some trusted sources I follow for action tips and feel goods. Except for Litsy which is my happy place.
3) Yes, even the positive can be a bit much weirdly so breaks are necessary.

1. Feeling pretty good mentally but fighting a terrible cold and cough.
2. It can be positive or negative. I am on instagram as I follow other knitters, it‘s my yarn Litsy, so to speak. But if I‘m not careful I can go down political rabbit holes 😝
3. Yes, and it is helpful to my productivity and anxiety to put my phone down. Everything is in my phone, including audiobooks so total divorce would be tough.
