Ways to Check In with Yourself
What I personally use, and you could too. I check in with myself everyday.
Sometimes I’m bothered by work I’ve been procrastinating about; or reaching out a contact I know I should’ve reached out to earlier. I then start making a list on my notes, making bullet points for each task.
Noting it down helps me visualise what I need to do, and ensuring that I get it done.
I do this by using prompts. I write these down in my notes app, I open them whenever I decide to check in with myself.
These are my work check- in questions:
A. Am I stressed at the moment?
B. If I am, why?
C. What do I need to do for myself right now?
D. Do I need someone else’s help for this?
E. If yes, who is that person?
F. What do I need to do today in order to end my day with a peaceful mind?
Sometimes, at events, I’ll go to the bathroom for 5 minutes to regroup myself. I ask myself how I’m feeling and what I’m feeling… if I’m at a party, this is the point where I consider if I can drink* more or not/ sober up a bit. I also take the time to make a semi decent game plan.
A. How am I feeling?
B. Am I in a state where I can drink more?
C. When was the last time I drank water?
D. Am I hungry?
E. How am I getting home - do I have a cab booked, is someone going to drop me, am I going home by myself?
F. Do I want to leave right now or am I having a good time?
*I do not encourage minors drinking - please drink responsibly
I absolutely adore it. It helps you check in with your feelings, identify them, understand triggers and show you a different perspective on handling things.
Personally speaking, I’ve set the reminders to 3 times a day (morning, afternoon and evening) so that I can track myself better.
daily reminder that a woman's place is in:
the lab
space
engineering
academics
leadership
EVERYWHERE
It’s still in the 80s where I live but I hope it’s nice and chill for everyone else
