Bio

 (IMPORTANT if you are having anxiety, panic attack Now and I am offline please scroll to the bottom of this text to the section marked:  🐬)

Hello, Thank You for checking my profile!
I am Aria, nice to virtually meet You. 

For me, it is significant that You feel comfortable and safe talking with me. I will be more than happy to do anything I can for us to talk in a friendly and trustful atmosphere.

My purpose in 7Cups:
I am here to listen to You because what you feel and think matters, support You to the best of my ability,  be with You so You do not feel like You are alone and assist with figuring out steps in your situation. 

(I will try to tell you the basic things about me which could be decisive for You to know before You start talking to someone)

My personality: 
I am a rational,  optimistic, and open-minded person. I do not have a 'judgment bone' :)  For me talking things out is often helpful in getting clarity and identifying the best next step with any issue. 

Do you know what is your Personality Type?  You might enjoy finding it out > here<. I would love it if you drop me a line about what you have found out and how did it make you feel.

My personality type is Protagonist A
  „…Protagonists take a genuine interest in other people, approaching them with warm sociability and a helpful earnestness. They are valued for the capacity for insightful and inspiring communication and sensitivity to the needs of others.’’(16personalities.com)

My Experience:
I had a lot of challenging events in my life including, health issues, several relocations to another country, challenging relationships, school/work troubles, and war. All resulted in me being personally acquainted with anxiety, panic attacks, sleep troubles, PTSD and personal crises. Those events transformed my life drastically, I became braver and changed my path.

Me Now:
 I am checking the box 25-30 years old. At the moment, adjusting to a new period in my life, at a new place and trying to claim my authentic identity after major crises and learning about freshly diagnosed ADHD.  Therefore, unfortunetly not as often on Cups as used to be. We all have periods in life when it is not easy to be 'present' in our own lives, but as Robert Frost once wrote: 'the best way out is always through'. This is especially true when battling a traumatic event. 

Thank You for reading until this point, You are a very carrying soul! I hope it helped to get an idea if you feel like writing to me.

_____________________________

🐬 I am so sorry you are going through severe anxiety right now. I know it is very scary and even physically hurtful sometimes, but You will be Ok. It is not a physical failure it is just your brain got scared because of some trigger. A panic attack usually lasts between 5 and 20 minutes, rarely up to an hour (www.nhs.uk) but It Will Pass, it always does. 
Please if you have the ability to reach people who can support you it might be a good idea to do so.

The most important thing is to get in control of your breathing, it might calm down your brain. 

1) Diaphragm breathing helps when you have difficulties breathing and will help to calm down, here is the link to a video guide >Breathing<   If you need it urgently, the direct instructions about breathing start at 00.43 (You can come back to my profile to try other steps after checking the link) 

2) It is possible to use the gif to regulate the birthing rhythm. Just breathe in when the flower opens and out when it closes >Gif to breathe with<.
You are doing well! You will calm down soon.

3) To calm the anxiety it is important that we Ground ourselves there are many techniques to do it including Bilateral stimulation. Here is one of them, it is simple and can be done in any situation: > Butterfly<  If you need it urgently, the direct instructions start at  00.17

You might search for 'grounding technique’, 'bilateral stimulation’, 'dissociation for fear/thoughts’, 'cognitive defusion techniques to find more mechanisms that can help you to calm your anxiety.

4) Defusion, separation from fear. Anxiety usually circles a scary thought in your mind, you feel afraid. Please instead of saying 'I am anxious about… or I am afraid of… ' try to use this templet out loud:

1*st say: I am feeling fear about….. 
after saying that  2*say: I have a thought that I am feeling fear about…
after go for 3*saying: I have noticed a thought that I am feeling fear about…

5) I am so proud of you for helping yourself and seeking support! 
If you feel like it please connect with another Listener. You might benefit from getting in touch with the listener, who has personal experience with Anxiety, to do it click "More filters” -> „Topic” -> „Anxiety" and you will see the list with listeners. Browse for listeners here

You are amazing and so strong for coping with anxiety! ❤️ >My love< and care are with you! I hope you will feel better as soon as it is only possible.



(Please,  write to me a few lines about how are you feeling after the crisis or when you are feeling like it because I am worried about you. I will answer as soon as I see it)

If you could create any content in the world what would you create?
Content Volunteer Team / by AriadneLove

...See more We hear more and more often that someone is "creating content", that someone has found "incredibly interesting content" or is looking for a person to work on creating "content". What does that actually mean? My favourite definition: 'Content is information presented with a purpose distributed to people in a form through a channel.' - Margot Lester, CEO, The Word Factory Some examples of the content: * articles * books * courses * movies * pictures (including memes) * infographics * social media entries * the content of the e-mail message * product descriptions * audio tracks (music, podcasts) * content on websites (price lists, commercial offers) * data etc. Creating content gives us an opportunity to tell a story, connect with others, give voice to things, and events that are silent, express ourselves or manage our own thoughts, and feelings in a creative way. If you could create any content in the world with no limit to resources available, what would you create? ________________________________________________________________ This post is part of Academy Fall Events! 🔔Click here to view all events [https://www.7cups.com/forum/7CupsAcademy_208/AcademyEvents_2338/7CupsAcademyFallEventsAreHere_286768/] 🎓 [https://coolsymbol.com/copy/Graduation_Cap_Emoji_Symbol_%F0%9F%8E%93] [https://www.7cups.com/forum/ContentVolunteerTeam_198/ContentDevelopmentandMarketingProgramCDM_2192/] 📢 Learn more about 7 Cups Academy programs for listeners here [https://www.7cups.com/forum/7CupsAcademy_208/AcademyPrograms_2311/AcademyProgramsAvailableForListeners_284930/] and here for members!

What was the last time an advertisement caught your attention?
Content Volunteer Team / by AriadneLove
Last post
 October 30th, 2022
...See more The world is continually flooding us with advertisements on and offline. And, if you’re like me, this regular inflow of ads is nothing but an annoyance you learn to ignore. You likely already had seen dozens of ads before you even left home today. There are ads on the websites, promoted posts on your social media; logos on pens, T-shirts,…; and, of course, that pile of junk mail in your e-mail box. Outside there is another wave: billboards, posters, brochures, bumper stickers and so on. Every day we may see thousands of advertisements, but, unfortunately for marketers, most of them are totally ineffective. We have simply learned to tune ads out. With the race of attention, it is no longer enough for ads to be informative, but it should also make us feel.

Hosting Listener Discussion Sessions Update - GLDD (trial)
Group Leadership & Development / by AriadneLove
Last post
 December 16th, 2021
...See more Hello, Everyone! Hopefully, you are doing well. I am very glad to announce that fruitful collaboration between the GLDD and Listener Chatrooms Leaders have brought its fruits in creating Hosting Opportunities. Therefore, we updating the process of Hosting Listener Discussion Sessions for GLDD Listener trainees. What are the Hosting Opportunities? Hosting opportunities is a project which enables GLDD trainees to host Listener Sharing Circle (LSC) or Listener Check-in (LCI) without joining the team or signing up for hosting. Trainees are no longer required to commit to one of the teams or a weekly time slot. Instead, you can choose each week what and when you would like to host. Furthermore, each trainee will be supported by an experienced leader of the respected team. The aims of the project are to speed up the process and enable trainees to host from the very first week of the GLDD program. Furthermore, provide trainees with the opportunity to learn group support skills from an experienced chatroom leader. How does it work? 1) To host LSC or LCI fill this form [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScw_Tl23Tjwc3zO0awx65oBKgeWGeRBVW-8KD_Jpc4oMq_C6w/viewform] each week. 2) After you have finished hosting sessions for the whole week, submit this form [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1bi9xPzV0HGcxsURRM5VWB_ac5VcwfXkWhzGZV7HuYxA/viewform?edit_requested=true#responses] to log your sessions. Who should use this form? All GLDD Listeners trainees (on both members and listeners tracks), including active members of LSC and LCI teams. This Update should make the practical experience in listener chatrooms more accessible and effective. If you have any questions about the Hosting Opportunities or Hosting Discussion Sessions in general, please feel free to reach out to me, @AriadneLove [https://www.7cups.com/@AriadneLove]. Huge shout out to @amazingNutella24 without whom this program would not be possible.

Stick-clusivity (“stick-figure” trend) or 7 Cups version of the game “I spy”. 🥸
Positivity & Gratitude / by AriadneLove
Last post
 August 21st, 2021
...See more Hi everyone! Hope you’re doing well :) We’ve seen a few stick figure profile pictures around Cups and we know that some people aren’t aware of what it’s all about. We hope to shed some light on the matter with this post. XD Well…. Drum roll 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁 The “stick-figure” trend is just another amusing pick me up floating around cups :) Some people are joking around with their profile pictures by trying to translate them into stick figures. You might have seen these works of art in profile pictures or in peoples’ profiles. Want to join in and make someone smile?😁😀😊😆😃 🥳🥳🥳 Everyone is welcome to make a stick figure profile picture or add the same to their profile. For even more fun, try to spot stick people in listener profile pictures or their listener biographies if you’d like! You could mention the number of stick people you’ve seen in the Listener Community Room if you want, just to liven up the place (don’t mention any usernames of course). Here’s a new 7 Cups version of the game “I spy”. Here is a stick figure for you to unleash your creativity on https://i.imgur.com/czksozJ.jpg [https://i.imgur.com/czksozJ.jpg:]. Let your imagination run free! 🧞‍♂️🧚‍♀️ P.S Please share information about stickers so we keep the club inclusive Tagging some people who might be interested in stick-clusivity!
