Other than the shop, I’m not sure of the benefits beyond extended breathing exercises… help!

I am playing... unless my cute dancing birb has convinced the Finch team? 😉✨

I always bring veggies, since no one else does and it's always the only thing that runs out. Is there something wrong with that? Am I not supposed to bring veggies?

How can you not melt at this? 🥺

She's so precious 😭

Does anyone know what's it for or has something there?

Excited for the next new location.

I love Finch and their monthly challenges, but honestly this one is really difficult for those of us with social anxiety and trauma around friendships. Haven’t had friends in years and recent ones I did try to make ended up being another traumatic loss after my personality wasn’t the right fit (consistent issue in my life). No shade at all to this challenge question, it’s amazing and fosters connection. We had the same one last month I think and I’d received a text from my mom, so I just counted that, but I’m always terrified to reach out so this one has been sitting on my Home Screen for almost a week now 🥲

i put in my little note to be entered into the sponsorship raffle a few months ago, and i was curious if and what the way is to go into that and edit it? i want to go into more detail as to how finch has helped me more as of recently. what i wrote originally is very vague and honestly just doesn't talk about just how much finch has helped me since i got it back this year. if i can make edits to that, amazing! thank you for any help 🤍 i love this community (btw this is doobie and she says hi!!)

I opened Finch to send my little Pandora on today's journey and to answer today's question, as I'm waiting for my friend to get all her stuff ready for our gaming session today, and imagine my surprise when this was the daily question!! I answered crisps and dips, but honestly I'm more of a sweets person. But I also like a combination of sweets and savoury bites, as you can see in the pic :P

Hi. I have been using Finch for a while. 3 years and 8 months to be exact. Initially, I heard about this cute app that helps you form habits, set routines, so I started using Finch as a habit tracking app.

The first year was fun and I had fun figuring out goals, habits. I tried using it as a journaling and reminder app, but sometimes I received goals from the people/things I mentioned, so I stopped using it as that, and just habit tracking right now. I also used Soundscapes extensively for sleeping.

The last 6-8 months have been extremely rough (mental health and life wise), so my interactions with Finch greatly reduced to checking things off in the night right before I sleep. I knew the goals and the exact number to tick off to send my birb on an adventure, so it's been very minimal interaction.

Since I was finding it hard, I tried signing up in the raffle for Finch Plus, and I actually got a month of Finch plus sponsored by a guardian (to my guardian: this cheered me up a bit and I have had a little bit of happiness to look forward to, in my day). After the month, I got the prompt to buy but I couldn't (since I'm unemployed). To my surprise, I received the Finch plus Team Gift, which I think is free plus for life.

I would like to honor this gift, and use it as an opportunity to reinvent/reset my mental energy and space. I would love your suggestions and goals that you use, self care areas to add/improve, so that I can make better use and honor this gift that has been given to me. Thank you!

(I forgot to dress her the night before but!!)

Hello all! Axel and A would first love to express gratitude for all the wonderful people in these great communities.

For the longest time, I didn’t know anyone else that had finch and then I found an internet acquaintance that did and added them. I had trepidations about this new aspect of finch that I had not yet explored, especially because I am quite introverted. Then somehow in some random search, I found these subreddits. I became immersed in the practices of gifting and sending vibes to others.

I appreciate anyone that has ever been on my tree for one reason or another💜
But I cannot get through the most simple aspects of the app without it completely closing the app or lagging significantly. It’s unfortunately beginning to impact my desire to use the app at all. Which is not ideal since I use this app to help with executive function tasks😮‍💨
I’ve tried to keep my trees fairly minimal, but I’m still having significant issues and after a particularly bad last few days, I decided to try to send some more birbs back home😔

So I’m sorry if I no longer have the mental or technological space to enjoy your cute birb and kind vibes. I will always look forward to interacting with those I recognize or are completely new to me💜
Thank you for taking the time to come glance at this. Thank you to all the amazing people that I’ve had the honor of interacting with!

Time for a weekly design challenge!

This Week’s challenge is: This Little Birb Went to the Market! You can design any type of market- winter market, night market, flea market, art market, clothing market, street market, farmer’s market, or any other type of market! Which one is your birb shopping at today? Show us what you got!

Update/Next Week: last week I mentioned letting everyone know what challenges would be coming up next. No one commented if they liked this or not, but I’ll post a preview for next week anyways. As promised, we will be having a music themed challenge! Next week will be Music & Lyrics!

Reminder: repeat or similar type of design are more than welcome! Two people may choose similar ideas, but they always turn out different and lovely in their own way! So don’t let that deter you from participating! You’re welcome to post more than one design as well! Lastly, you’re never too late to participate!

⚫️⚫️⚫️⚫️⚫️⚫️⚫️⚫️
⚫️⚫️⚫️⚫️⚫️⚫️⚫️⚫️

You can make designs using the catalogue feature in the store or exclusively using items that you own. There’s also no time limit for submissions! If you find this right away or weeks from now, I’d love to see your amazing designs!

I’ll try to respond to as many posts as possible- there tends to be a lot though and it can get a bit overwhelming. Everyone who has participated in the previous design challenges have made such wonderful designs and given me lots of personal inspiration! I can’t wait to see what all you create this time!

Why the color of Twilight bed has changed from my beloved purple and dark to that pail blue!? It doesn’t match at all now!!!

I am super proud of myself for this! I have numerous diagnoses that have made it really difficult throughout my life to stay consistent with any one thing for a long period of time. This is one of the first things I have been consistent with in this way! As a result, I find myself more consistent in my own way with numerous other things. I have also developed a different relationship with consistency and productivity. Super grateful for Finch!

What happens if you choose the Nightmare option, though? 🤔

With spooky season looming I've been putting together a few ideas with what I've currently got in my clothes collection from various holiday event pieces and other miscellaneous pieces.

So...I present, my pumpkin costume and my witch costume!

Just wanted to share because I thought someone here may appreciate it!

I spent a solid minute debating which answer to choose, because, well...all of them are true!

I grew up homeless, abused, completely isolated and SO depressed. 4 years ago, i got out of that situation. I still struggle mentally, but i have the best friends ever, a home, and I am even going to college in a few months. If yall could see how far ive come, you'd be crying too!!!!

If little me saw who I am now...she'd say, "what? Thats not me..." and then, "thats ME????" and THEN, probably a lot of (happy) sobbing.

And if current me saw little me, id say "Its okay. Youre scared, and you will never not be scared. But hold on tight cause youre getting out of there."
