#MentalHealthMonday check in
#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.
Not sure if this is for a specific group, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to jump in.
1. Pretty well. Time feels slippery today, and I'm constantly starving because I've increased my activity level but not my caloric intake (by design), so I'm fighting hangriness.
2. Mostly negative (except for Litsy) unless I'm very careful.
3. I'm taking a break from Facebook and using IG & Bluesky sparingly. So far, so good.

1. Sleepy 😴
2. Negative. I had to completly overhaul my IG because I was just doom scrolling. I have Rednote for calm videos, Tiktok is a mix of fun and frustrating, IG is bookish nerdy stuff, and FB I only look at for neighborhood updates (HOA/events) bc it's too frustrating.
3 Yes. But honestly its my husband that makes me take them when I get worked up. 🤣
@Kerrbearlib
1. I feel okay today. Exercise class was fun, and we got some much needed rain.
2. Yes. It‘s how I stay in touch with some of my friends and get some (but not all) of my news. On the other hand, it can also be frivolous at best and mean spirited. I make a point not to argue with strangers, as tempting as it may be.
3. When I shut it down a couple hours before bedtime (except for Litsy of course), I‘ve found that helps.

1. Okay, I‘m tired & somewhat stressed & it‘s a Monday of a busy week.😬
2. Both. Sites like Litsy (my main social media) & certain positive accounts I follow on Instagram & TikTok have a good impact. Most of the rest of it & the news have a negative impact. I am only on Facebook for Messenger contact with my siblings & limited family updates but otherwise stay off.
3. Not total breaks but partial ones & news breaks help.
1. We‘re doin‘ okay! Physically feeling bad (boyf‘s been sick) but I have stuff to DO 😤
2. Both? Positive on some sites (Insta Reels is all puppies, kittens, and travel) and negative on others (doom scrolling thru TikTok to keep up with the times)
3. Yeah, but not super long breaks. I‘m hardly ever on Insta, and I have a timer for 1 hour on TT/day. It helps.

1. I am ok… a little stressed out since we have our state testing tomorrow
2. A little bit of both… I scroll mindlessly to give myself a brain break but the negativity of it is a bit much sometimes
3. I have never taken a break from social media completely but I have hidden people who are to negative and that helps
#MentalHealthMonday @Kerrbearlib
1. Feeling good!
2. I don't do much with social media. Mainly Litsy, so it doesn't impact me at all.
3. N/A
Have a great week everyone! 💜📖💜📚💜
