Doing a mental health check-in today because I think it matters as much as the scale. How are you all taking care of your head?

Mental health check-in for today, honest thoughts
The scale stuff is easy for me to track, the head stuff not so much. I've been going on walks without my phone and that's honestly the only thing keeping me level lately.
Journaling on shot nights is smart, I might steal that. My head stuff hits more on the random weekdays when the appetite is quiet and I notice how much I was eating out of boredom
What does the journaling on injection nights actually look like for you? I tried something similar and my entries turned into grocery lists by day three
The flat mood hit me around the same point, and what helped was getting outside for a walk on my lunch break instead of eating at my desk. Richmond weather has been decent enough for it lately
Flat mood hit me too, and what actually helped was getting outside before the heat cranks up, since Vegas evenings are the only sane window right now.
I've been doing short phone notes too, mostly dumb stuff like finishing a project I'd been avoiding for months. Rereading those does more for me than the scale ever did.
The nights I skip moving being the loud ones is exactly my pattern too. Curious whether the headphones are music or a podcast, mine changes depending on how wound up I am
The evenings I skip my walk are exactly when my head gets loud too. Curious whether the podcast lap is your way of winding down or more of a distraction from the noise?
Curious what goes on the wins list, mine keeps turning into a to-do list and that defeats the point
the wins list clicked for me too, but mine is just a note on my phone so I dont forget the small stuff. Curious how you all keep yours, paper or app?
The walk-brain link is what gets me too. I skip my evening loop and by 10pm my head is loud. Never made the connection until reading this thread
. Does the three wins thing still work for you on the rough nights?
What does your check-in actually look like day to day, like a written thing or just a minute of sitting still? Mine started as a note on my phone and it quietly turned into the main habit I protect.
honestly, curious whether the three wins thing still works for you on the days the walk doesn't happen, or if the two are kind of bundled for you now
The three wins thing is the only habit I've kept past the first week, mostly because it takes two minutes and doesn't need any gear. Curious whether you write them down or just run through them in your head.
What time of day do you do the three wins? I tried it right before bed and just fell asleep mid-thought
My loud-brain nights are usually the dose change ones, not the scale ones. Curious if yours line up with shot day at all
