I have come to discuss "Daily Affirmations," with all of you today.

I recently heard a comedy skit about affirmations that gave me pause. I use two affirmations in my daily life, which sparked a need to stop and talk about this topic. Without further ado...

Let's go!

Welcome back Stitched Community to Mindful Crochet with Stitched Delights by Angela. My name is Angela and today I present you with, "Scheduling the Schedule." I am going to outline the way my brain seems to need to categorize and process for things to click inside my head. 

Is this a struggle you face, too? Join me as I discuss how I problem solved my way through this issue and reduced my daily stress levels.

The conversation continues with The Stitched Community over on ko-fi.com/stitcheddelight - there you can find links to our discord server, exclusive content, and membership options. See you there!

I am almost always an anxious mess and find myself living in a state of stress... often.

What I didn't know was just how big of an impact it could make on my physical health!

Today I discuss some of what stress has done to me, physically, and my hope to fight it using healthy skills.

Today's episode is, "What's stopping you?" I will be talking about hopes, dreams, and the things that stop us from trying.

I have had many dreams over the years and one day I woke up to ask myself, "Why can't I?" The only limits I face are the ones I place on myself.

I recently acquired professional editing software for my podcast as well as a new headset for better sound quality. My apologies as I am still learning how to use everything for the betterment of Mindful Crochet.

As always, the conversation continues over at Stitched Delights by Angela on Ko-fi and The Stitched Community Discord. Join us to check out exclusive crochet content, mental health advocacy, and chat with like-minded friends. We also have paid membership options for bonus content, episodes, and to teach crochet.

During this festive time of year, I wanted to take a moment to remind everyone why self-love and gratitude are so important. Thanksgiving may have passed and the year may be coming to a close, but this is also the perfect time to remember why we are special and how much we appreciate those around us.

We now share bonus episodes of Mindful Crochet each week over on the Stitched Delights by Angela Ko-fi page for a small monthly subscription of $3. You can also get bonus WIP content as I work up some amazing pieces to share with you all. Of course, our base content and this podcast remain free for all and the conversation continues over on The Stitched Community Discord server. Join us to talk about fiber arts and positive mental health!

Stay mindful!

Welcome to another episode of Mindful Crochet! Today I am discussing, "Coping with Not Feeling OK." This is coming after an exceptionally difficult mental health week. However, crochet and mindfulness helped pull me back into my correct state of mind.

The conversation doesn't stop here. Join us at Stitched Delights for Angela to see all the great crochet projects I have made or am currently working on. You can also chat with others in The Stitched Community over on our discord server. Paid and Free memberships are available to all!

Everyone has their own quirks and mindsets for perfection, or do they?

I take us through my mental journey as I begin to realize just how obsessive and compulsive I can be in my life, my drive for perfection, plus a look at how I overcome in other ways using crochet to calm my mental state.

A diagnosis or an appearance of one doesn't drive who I am. If you ever felt alone in perfectionism, this is the episode for you.

Discuss this and more over with the Stitched Community on Ko-fi and Discord.

Being mindful is so important in many ways. One of those is the ability to use mindfulness to expand past anxious feelings, especially in social situations.

This week I discuss my struggle to be mindful while at a crowded dinner for my better half, his sister, and her extended family members. Join me as I counter my struggles and use mindfulness skills (skills that you can try too!) to work my way through an experience I would have normally never faced.

Don't forget, the conversation continues back at our page on Ko-fi and over on our discord!

This is a hard month for me as I lost 2 women that mattered the most to me as I grew up, my mother and a woman I looked to as another mom to me. Tomorrow is the twelth anniversary of my mother's death, and I want to use this to jumpstart a topic that covers exactly how I have been coping with residual grief over the month of October... crochet for grounding.

Follow along this week as I discuss what has kept me going. Read along with this podcast at https://ko-fi.com/post/Goodbye-October-R6R415CJ4K

I had a lot going on last week and the start of this week, so this week's podcast is a little rushed and a little late. However, Wednesday is not over yet and I am calling it good enough! 😂

At the end of all this mess, you receive an improvised podcast that is good enough. Because sometimes it ok to go with good enough when you have so many priorities on your to-do list.

Grab your favorite fidget toy and spend the next few minutes with me talking about the importance of self-care during brief moments when other things are too much but you need to keep being an adult in a world that does not stop.
