It's OK To Check In On Yourself Too

When's the last time you checked in on yourself?

We go about our days going to class, doing homework, going to meetings, going to our clubs/organizations, etc.

Everything happens so naturally that we barely even think about what we are doing. We do so many things for others, but we don’t take too much time for ourselves on a day to day basis.

There are days where we just need to slow down, sit and reflect.

We think, “I don’t have time to take time for myself.” We are constantly busy with so many other things.

When we get so busy we get stressed out and it can affect our mental health. Sometimes we forget to make sure to check in with ourselves.

Instead of always asking other people “How are you” ask yourself that question.

Nobody knows you better than you. Happiness is having good pleasure, good fortune, and contentment. Always love the people around you, your friends and family, but don’t forget to love yourself.

Loving yourself is very important and can help yourself confidence grow and help you on a day to day basis.

Although you need to appreciate all of the people in your life and you should never give up on someone. You should never give up on yourself as well.

Always be thankful for anyone who enters your life, even if they do you wrong or if they are just in your life for a short period of time. Everyone crosses paths and is put in each other’s lives for a reason.

Don’t spend your time thinking about what other people think of you because it isn’t worth it.

One of the most important things is what you think of yourself. Be happy with yourself and be proud of who you are. Don’t be what other people think of you or what other people say you have to be.

If you are happy with yourself and if you love yourself, other people will love you for who you are.

Most days we don’t even think about how we are doing. Sometimes we don’t even realize when we are happiest.

Although it is good to reflect on the hard times, it is also important to think about all of our happiest times.

At the moment, we might not even realize how we are feeling. Later on, it is always good just to think about our day and see if we would do anything different or not.

Making sure we keep up with ourselves is one of the most important things and easily forgotten.

Everyone needs to remember to take a few minutes and really ask ourselves how we are doing.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
