Many of us struggle a lot in life. In fact all of us struggle with something. It's something we all have in common! We all have struggles, frustrations, pain, suffering and it is hard for everyone to face. There are so many cliché things people say to others when they want to help them feel better, but sometimes it's our own words that mean the most. Affirmations! I use affirmations daily, well most days, to help me stay focused on my growth and to stop comparing myself with others. There are several ways affirmations can be done. I'll list a few. - Goggle a list and write the ones you need. Read them daily to yourself in a mirror while looking at yourself. (The Cleveland Clinic is a great resource!) - Write your own list of 3 - 5 affirmations. Read them daily to yourself in a mirror while looking at yourself. - Write a new list daily of 3 - 5 and read them aloud to a partner, friend, or in the mirror. - (I do this one) Write a new list of 3 - 5 daily. Write each affirmation 5 - 10 times each. Send proof to a friend on days you are struggling. - (I do this one) when feeling overwhelmed, anxious, uncomfortable, write preplanned affirmation 10 - 20 times to refocus attention. (I use "I am safe" "I am accepted" "I am likable" "I belong here" "I am lovable") I write one, then take a deep breath. - I taped a postive job review to my bathroom mirror and read the comments outloud as affirmations, too. This is a practice that has helped me get out of some dark places recently. I thought maybe we could share an affirmation that helped us below. Or maybe how you use affirmations to help you grow. Here's my favorite affirmations. "My past does NOT define me, it makes me stronger." "Being little is safe." "I am likable" "I am capable of...." (changes often) "Rest is healing. I am taking care of me."

@RoseyLittle @SarBear55 @Fox H @Baby.M @DaddysCosmicBunny @SquirtleSquad @MissNMTX @innerchildtml @Emberella Alright all I know this is alot of announcements but gotta get them in while the forum is up. The time has FLOWN by but you can officially read the last few chapters of the book! Now I know some folks are behind and such so I usually give two weeks at the end for yall to finish so you have until the 27th. Be on the lookout for the last few sets of questions and also an interest pole for NNCs next read. I know its been hard with the tech difficulties but if you have fun please join us for the next one. A questionaire will be going up in the next few weeks, it is important you answer it if yall want that shiny handmade badge I award for finishing bo0ks here. Thanks again yall its been fun!

A summer baby here through and though! I swear I don’t reduce my own body heat and my extremities are always cold…so give me sunshine, a good book and a rock to lay out on like a lizard and I’m in bliss. (Oh and sunscreen so my ghost like skin doesn’t turn tomato red 🤣)

I had a few affirmations tonight I wanted to share, but I need to share a little bit first. About a year ago, I was talking with my mother and she asked about what happened when I was young. She was finally able to hear some of it. She apologized and said someone had shared with her recently about him and she was so shocked! She was so busy raising us, she never thought anything could happen to me. She wanted to fix it. I listened, too. I told her I forgave her and she asked how she could forgive herself. I told her I wanted her in my life and that I loved her. I am thankful for the sacrifices she made to raise us. It's not easy single parenting 3 kids. We've talked several times over the past year and this issue always comes up in our conversation. So tonight one of my affirmations is about this issue. As I look at them, maybe all of my affirmations are about this issue. 1. Rest is healing. 2. It is healthy to work on me before I look for a partner. 3. Forgiveness is about my heart and moving on. It is not about letting bad people back into my life. My mother asked me what I would do if he would message me. I said, "he's blocked. I block a lot of people who are unsafe in my life. I need to do that to stay safe. I am unable to say no yet, so blocking them is the best choice I can make." There's no guilt or shame in that statement, only strength. Another affirmation... I will not talk to unsafe people. Affirmations are so powerful. They help change thoughts and feelings, which mold behavior and actions. Always remember how powerful your mind is and it can take you any where you want to go! Poppy 💕

you can also find some really great affirmations on pinterest! i put lots in my journal too :3 it's a great place to look when i'm feeling sad and struggling to say the words myself.

Hi @clamchowder, I'm happy to see you here! I hope this thread is helpful to you, and brings some joy into your life. I am greatful for the energy I have had today to get so much house work done. I am greatful for the amazing BFF I have and that we have been blessed with so much time to spend together. I am greatful for my Daddy/husband, for being patient with me as I figure out who I am and for accepting all of me.

This is sooo much! You are carrying so much! I here it in your words and it seems so overwhelming! I wish i could jump through this message and hug you tight, tell you all the beautiful words @Tendillo shared, and feed you some comfort foods. Since that's not how messaging works... I want to share with you a mindfulness activity I use sometimes. This is just a suggestion, so please take it as a gift, not as another thing you have to do. Healing light meditation. Sit somewhere warm and cozy. Close your eyes and breath deeply 3 - 5 times. Imagine a warm, golden light shining above you. The light is gently warming the air around you. As you feel the light on your head and skin, let yourself relax a bit. Imagine where the light is coming from, the source of this warm, gentle light. It's a bottomless pitcher of light energy, pouring out right onto you, the top of your head. As you feel this light enter your body, starting at your head, let the light heal your exhaustion, your emotional fatigue, your physical pain, your depression, your hurt feelings. Let the light soothe you and heal you of all these things. Let it renew your soul and bring balance to your body and mind. Slowly allow the light to spread through your body, healing every part of you as it spreads down your head, face and neck. Then to your shoulders, chest and back. Slowly out your arms, hands and fingers, relaxing you as it goes. It brings freedom to your body, rest, and restored health. Let the light keep going down your body, pausing at sore spots for extra time. Once it's through your feet, imagine how strong and healthy, yet at peace you feel with your energy returned to you. Take 3 slow deep breaths and slowly open your eyes. Notice your body and how good it feels. Sit peacefully for a few minutes if possible enjoying the feel of your renewed strength. (I sometimes use this to help me sleep at night and just allow myself to rest.) Again, this isn't a solution, only an idea... I only want to help. I am not offended if you hate the idea. I am here if you need to talk.

With this badge we should be better informed about our oceans, how to help keep them clean and all the nifty critters we have in them! As usual, contact a leader to sign off when finished. Take photos. Due by the end of the month, June 30th. Complete at least 3 activities for this badge. Make sure to take photos when you are finished, of each. 💚 Choose your favourite marine animal and write a paragraph about it. *Why you is your favorite *Where it can normally be located * What are their babies called? 💚 If you could live by any ocean, which one would it be and why. 💚 (Littles) Color a picture of your favourite marine creature. 💚 Make a paper Jelly fish 🎐 💚 Make a bracelet or anklet in colors that would best represent the animal you like and the ocean waters it comes from. 💚 If you live near a beach, pick up seashells and make a craft. If you don't live by a beach and still wish to make something, Walmart, Dollar Tree, and I'm sure a few others should carry them in the craft section. 💚 If you've visited the ocean/ beach before, which one was it? Did you enjoy it? Show pictures of you want to of your visit. If not, just the short paragraph and the picture that you finished. Pinterest has many lovely craft ideas. You can also choose from there, just list the one you pick. Everyone have fun!!

This was a fun learning experience. I love all animals so learning about animals through this as well as the other random facts was great. @DaddyRaven I think I have completed everything.

Thanks @BabyPoppy, for you honest and heart felt post. What we tell ourselves is so important. Often times it's out own voice that is loudes and it's so easy to let that voice be critical or negative. Being Autistic and expirencing bipolar 2, I tend to have big emotions over seemingly small things or over nothing. Affirming to myself that I am capable of going through hard emotions is helpful as well as choosing to have a positive out look on the day a head. Here they are: ✨️Today is a good day to have a good day. ✨️ 🩷I can see the good in every situation. ✨️These are not my thoughts (for when i have dark scary thoughts).✨️ 🩷I don't have to feel good to do good. ✨️I am strong, courageous, and resilient!✨️ 🩷It's hard moment not a bad day. ✨️I've done this before and I can do it again! ✨️ Thank you again Poppy for you post. I'm so glad you and your mother were able to have such an honest and vulnerable conversation. Sounds like there has been alot of growth and healing to get you there. I am so happy for you. ~💛Pichu

Today, I have a lot to be thankful for: - Being one year older - Grown kids who love to help out and take care of me as much as I try to help them - AC as its like 90 today - the ability to see doctors when I need to.

@BabyPoppyThank you for sharing such a genuine and heartfelt message. Life Struggles It’s comforting to be reminded that none of us are alone in what we carry, even when life feels heavy. Your words encourage honesty, compassion, and strength, and that can mean so much to someone who’s struggling. In addition to reaching out to someone supportive, a simple affirmation that may help someone keep going is: "I am stronger than this moment, and I will get through one baby step at a time." Thank you again for posting something so real, thoughtful, and encouraging. Keep up the good work!

That looks really good glad you had fun doing it

Today I am greatful for modern medicine. I am also grateful for my puppies. They are super sweet and keep me company.

@SquirtleSquad @SarBear55 @Fox H @DaddysCosmicBunny @Baby.M @RoseyLittle @innerchildtml Hello all! Thanks for those that continue to check in as it is important in fairness for earning the badge at the end (which I am starting to work on!!!) For this final check in please tell me your favorite season of the year. Also we have several new posts up for final assignment and questions so go check that out.

i am grateful for the friends i still have and will make in the future

I'm so thankful for so much today! Today I went grocery shopping, and ran errands, made an appointment by calling the office, and scheduled a meeting for work (via email) to discuss my job for the fall. I rested and ate lunch, worked on laundry, have supper in the crockpot, responded to a dr message, and showered! I'm so grateful I'm starting to feel better after all the med changes the past few weeks. It was good to stay outta bed all day!

Make lunch This is a meal I made... I had to clear the table first... it was 2 bags of trash and several hours of work, plus a nap, but we have a table to eat at again! I made mini steaks in the oven, mashed red potatoes, asparagus, green beans and blackberries for dessert... I can't have beef, so I skipped the meat and added cheese to my potatoes for protein!

NO BUMMER SUMMER PATCH https://advantageemblem.com/stock-products/fun-patches-pins/no-bummer-summer-patch-2/ Welcome, Glow Worms—this month, we’re all June Bugs and there are no bummers allowed at this beach party! For this month’s badge, please pick THREE of these offered tasks. I have divided them up into three categories: LOW for easy to do, simple tasks that should take about an hour or so, MEDIUM tasks that might take a few hours to complete and HIGH for extensive projects that might be a little taxing (especially if you’re feeling smol). Each category has options from totally free to spending a little money, depending on your comfort level and how much available spending we all have. So break out your floppiest hats, lather on some sunscreen, pop that umbrella and kick on back! Now—let’s get this party started! LEADERS THIS MONTH ARE: @DaddyRaven @beanbean @Very Proud and Happy Daddy @Tendillo @shadowrideris a substitute in case we need one. LOW: Make a “trash” fish—Using containers, old scraps of fabric, straws, etc. make an art project to reflect the oceans and their lovely creatures. A bottle can make an absolutely fabulous jellyfish, but be careful with your scissors! Build a UV reactive bracelet/necklace—using UV beads or reactive paints, make a wearable piece of jewelry to demonstrate the power of the sun! Attend an outdoor concert or show—sometimes places won’t allow you take pics of the actors so a ticket stub is a great way to commemorate an outdoor event! Make summer popsicles—fruit juice, edible flowers and herbs, spicy add ons like Chamoy and Tajin, a chocolate dip, nuts, all make wonderful snacks all summer long! Visit a local park and take pictures of five (5) different flowers or plants that are around! MEDIUM: Make a signature ice cream flavor—Nutella, chocolate cookie dough chunk, super strawberry cheesecake surprise—this can be done with heavy cream, a blender, and your freezer, no fancy machines required! Have an indoor/outdoor campout—everybody pull out your sleeping bags and your stuffies, we’re camping out! Whether you create a tent with some blankets and your furniture or you go all out, wilderness survivor style, spend the night “roughing it” your style! Make an origami bouquet—using fancy paper or paint, fold up some flowers that will never die! Stems can be made with straws or pipe-cleaners! Glass painting—get some cheap glass jars, vases, or other glassware and paint them up! Some even are transparent and can look like stained glass windows! Shell candles—Using shells, old candles, and small bits of wick, carefully pour wax into sea shells and add wicks. You can even add decorations on top like sand, smaller candles, or other wax add-ins! HIGH: Visit your nearest beach—this is not feasible for many people, so if this is something that interests you but it’s too far to trek, look up your closest one and what makes it unique. Does it have a high number of crabs or a specific type of fish? Does it have sea turtle hatches every spring? Take a class—now is the time to learn something new! Scuba certifications, surfing, cooking classes, dancing, there’s a million opportunities to learn and join the community while doing so! Go stargazing—this is something that you can do with an app like SkyView (free!), a telescope, or even visiting your local planetarium! Make a summer outfit—for all my sewists out there, this is for you! Get out a project and either use or make a pattern for a cute summer outfit and/or a new stuffed summertime friend! Backyard BBQ—this can be done on the grill or in the oven! Make a spread to share or just for one! Summertime is for fun times! Stay cool, stay safe, and have fun!

@CoconuttyBuddy was our creator this month! I can't wait to begin!

if not the next the one after I plan on doing a zoo craft to finish the zoo badge

Poppy, everything looks so awesome!! the fairy bread has me wanting to go make sum but the food delivery didn’t have bread so I can’t 😭 well done on the activity book! I can’t wait to see the rest of your stuff!

Hi everyone, Just letting you know the Monthly Active Badge is now up, the new Summer Seasonal Challenge is up and there will be some new day badges coming up and posted today. * Also, you find a list of badges you can earn on your own, pick and choose any of them you'd like to do and earn a badge. I'll have those posted today also, with the guidelines to go with them. * The seasonal challenges will also have alternate ideas for the things that you might not be able to do. You'll also notice there are 2 Seasonal Challenge patches up. Summer and Winter. That is because we have some lovely little's/ middles from a different hemisphere and so their season is opposite of ours. US/ Europe and any in the Northern Hemisphere will do the summer one. Those in the Southern will do the Winter. *REMEMBER: monthly badges are required. If you can't get one finished by the end of the month, then you'll have to finish it the following month along with the next months badges. It's preferable you can get it finished when due but stuff happens. ( I know, I've struggled myself a little this month). No worries. Just relax and enjoy. * Finally, with the site still being worked on and down time. Just take your time with all badges this month. Just as long as they're turned in by the 30th. Seasonal Challenge is June 1st - August 31st. Okay, well I think that's all. Any questions just message me and I'll answer as long as i can get in. Juju🐛💚

Fairy Bread

Thank you @babypichu5❤️ your words mean a lot to me! I appreciate you sharing your affirmations, too!

I’m in and excited for another round! 1. I love a series! But am happy either way 2. I prefer darker or emotional heavy hitter, but I still want that witty dialogue that gives a laugh 3. Longer the better! 4. Dark 5. Fantasy all the way!

Hi Everyone! Just a few days until June is upon us and you know what that means! Badges for May are winding down and our first Seasonal Challenge Badge (Summer for USA and Winter for our Aussie members and whomever else may need the opposite season. ), is due to be turned in the 31st. The new seasonal challenge will begin June 1st and end August 30th. So make sure all pictures, paragraphs, projects, etc... are turned in and plainly labeled for whichever badge is finished. I will get these requirements for the Summer/ Winter Challenge badges posted in the next day or so. Be sure to read it carefully. There are a few new requirements and for the things that might not be able to achieve, I have come up with Alternative activities for them. So there will be more to do. June monthly badge is ready and waiting! It will pop up on the 1st of June also! Thank you @CoconuttyBuddy for creating our June Badge for us! There will only be 1 day badge next month but if you want to do another, then feel free to do so. I will add a few ideas that do have a badge to go with them. To get credit for it, you will have to let me know which one you are wanting to do, activities you will do to earn it, make sure photos are taken and it's signed off by your leader. I hope y'all have a great summer! I will have fun stuff to do here also! Juju💚🐛

Next Saturday May 30 at 4pm est will be our monthly virtual meeting. hoping the site cooperates with us so I can post the link!

I am just chiming in to say I really enjoy this topic and appreciate it being covered. I have a few overlapping diagnosis that are relevant here and I always need reminding to attend to them fully. This type of thread helps a lot. Thank you!

Today I am grateful that my knee is feeling better so I could get some chores done!

Hi everyone! How was everyone's weekend? I hope it turned out great! So, as the Title says, we have some things coming up, results, etc... First, the poll results were 3 in favor of Daddy's/CG's signing off on badges and 6 against. So, that means, no changes to how we get the badges signed off. Secondly, I decided for the badges activities, the monthly ones, there will be 2-3 activities given to you, and 2 free activities, ones that you will pick and do for yourself. I think it might make the badges more enjoyable and that way each age level of little's can choose what they feel like doing. Everything else will remain the same for the badges; leader sign off, respective dates due by, etc... And as always, if not sure what to do or need help, please feel free to ask. End of the month meeting is coming up with @lillizzie24! Just a reminder. I can't wait! Hopefully i can attend this time. Any questions regarding the meeting, please direct them to her. Thirdly, Deadlines are coming up! Eeeek! Almost 2 weeks until the end of this month already! The Aussie Aussie Aussie badge will be due. The Dino Day Badge will be due. Day Badges at the first of the month should have been signed off already. If you haven't had that done yet by your prospective leaders, you need to get it done soon. Fourth, Badges earned already will be all given to Shadow Rider by the end of this month. I must apologize that I've not got you all caught up and patches added to your profiles. And once again, if you could pleasssse comment down below which ones you've actually finished so far and have had them signed off, I would REALLY appreciate it! I just wasn't able to get it done last month and I am really sorry for that. I am also, going to keep a Badge Binder with each of you in it and your badges earned, etc... Last but not least, I just want to thank each of you for your help, understanding and patience while we have been trying to get everything running more smoothly. June's monthly Badge will be created for us by @CoconuttyBuddy! I can't wait! So get ready for another fun packed month! Thank you everyone! Juju💚🐛

I have one snake plant, a zz plant, and a pathos. I for whatever reason fail to keep up with them. But all three are surviving. 😅

What a lovely idea and a great reminder for us all that, even when we are in a moment of weakness or a darker place, we can still acknowledge those sometimes simple pleasures that help to keep us afloat and see us through to the next day of sunshine. I'm grateful for my sweet babygirl who has changed my life forever and gives me such love and devotion each and every day. She's continues to be a light in the darkness❤️ I'm grateful, too, for finding a warm and friendly place such as this, where we are made to feel so welcome and at least a little bit understood, and all of the great people on here, especially all of you littles who may not feel that you are so great at times, but are stronger and better individuals because of how you face the world and face the pain that life sometimes gives us all. 🤗 Finally, today I am grateful for the food and shelter I can enjoy, and being able to look out of my window to see the sky, trees, birds and flowers. 🌳🐦🥀

Today I am greatful for the break I took at work to help relax and get away from the heat. We have a big walk-in fridge and I just sat there for a good ten minutes (my boss was cool with it). Btw i work on a farm. 😁 🫧I am greatful that I had the time and energy to clean my house. This morning. 🫧 I am greatful that I am not alone in this journy to find myself and balancing little and big. 💛

Here's all the things I've done for this badge. I saw fireworks Friday Night, but the pictures didn't turn out very well... I was too excited. I helped a friend/neighbor with her kids after school when she was running late. I visited a different neighbor, who is a senior. We talked about our flower beds. I invited a new friend over to help me with weeding my flowers bed and planting flowers. She also came over for supper once, too. I wrote a note to DaddyRaven. My kiddo got heat exhaustion at the parades on the second day of the festival and I got to practice my first aid skills by caring for her the past 2 days. I did the Earth Day Badge and donated books, toys, kids clothes, teaching materials, and plastic grocery bags. Learned about Daisies - wrote a report for my spring badge. Learned how to wash a make-up stain out of a hand-wash only dress my kiddo wore for Halloween and left on her closet floor... @DaddyRaven could you check my badge for me please?

You’ve got your badge, great job 👏

Summer is so hot where i grew up and live now that I hide, but it is a beautiful season.

I re-potted flowers, cleaned up my flower bed, and decorated a bit! I had a friend help me, but I did it, too! Look closely for the bee and lady bug! Marigolds Begonia

My favorite season is fall! Absolutely love all the colors and of course Halloween! 🎃

Lol nothing wrong with enjoying winter from in front of a warm window

Thank you @babypichu5 that's very kind of you! I am grateful for this space, too! I am grateful for being brave today I made several important phone calls, emails, and a trip to Walmart...

@babypichu5for giving us this space. Im so happy we have it to support each other. Can I ask what your favorite food is? Grateful for quiet time The ocean as it seems to wash my spirit clean. Puppy loves to make the sun shine.

Hi @BabyPoppy, it sounds like you had a productive day. I'm happy to hear you're feeling better and are able to do more things bc of that. Also thank you and @innerchildtml for consistently sharing your gratitudes and wins. I hope it sheds some light in your lives as much as it has mine. I'm thankful that I got to eat my favorite meal for lunch today. I take alot of comfort in have my favorite foods on repeat so that brought me joy. 😁 I'm so greatful for my boss. He's very understanding with me and let me take on a more accessible task when I was feeling worn out today. 😁 I'm really greatful my mental health has been improving. The obsessive/ intrusive thoughts have reduced and I am better at identifying my triggers. 😊

-Today I am greatful that I could get a bunch of house work done. Laundry, dishes, cooking and more. -I'm greatful that my new med has not given me any side effects. -I'm greatful that Daddy and I are starting to find a balance between being Daddy and baby girl and our adult selves.

I donated some more stuff... this was actually the 2nd car load... I'm deep cleaning the house... I also filled and had a dumpster emptied in the past week... I already started refilling it again...

I’ve noticed ghosting usually comes from fear or discomfort, not malice, so I try not to take it personally. Clear boundaries and simple check-ins have helped me avoid it on my end.

awwww love horsies!!!!
