Bio

Hello, welcome. I’m Mya.

If you’re needing urgent help and I’m unavailable, reach out to another listener and they will do their best to support you. https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/

If you're worried whether you can talk about a specific topic with me: I will let you know if it's something I feel uncomfortable with. Otherwise, you're okay. I'm here for you.

If you’re coming to me for support with sex related topics - I’m here to help and support you, not just to chat about sex. If this happens I will direct you to the focus of the conversation, if it happens again you get a warning. Beyond that, you’ll get blocked, and I don’t want to do that, so please be mindful of this. Thank you

Critical Thinking and Perspective

...See more Perspective and critical thinking are both important qualities and practices. As someone who was born into a harmful group that discourages critical thinking, personal growth and seeking different perspectives, all of these are of utmost importance to me. I enjoy learning and considering different ways to look at the world and my own self. Learning for me is almost an obsession.  1. What are some ways you can practice and incorporate critical thinking and perspective understanding into your daily life? 2. How can these qualities aid your growth as a person? 1. Questioning assumptions one makes by asking questions is one way. Ask many, many questions. Don’t accept anything at face value—investigate. Be curious. Active listening, debate, consider different outcomes and results. Brainstorm multiple ways of solving problems. Communicating with others about perspective and critical thinking.  2. By practicing these, I am ensuring that my mind and, consequently, life is not narrow and static. There is constant improvement and expansion of the self and in thinking / problem-solving / relatability. Actively seeking out different perspectives and opinions provides a way to reflect on my thinking and where my mind is in terms of growth and learning mindset. Am I being narrow-minded and tunnel visioning? How do I feel about this particular viewpoint? Why? Is what they’re saying factual, or is it an opinion? What can I research about this? How does this affect my life? Etc.
Presence and Appreciation

...See more While reading through the IDG Course, it came to my attention that there are a few qualities I need to focus more on — a couple of those being presence and appreciation. On a daily basis I try to remind myself to bring attention back to the present and to the body or whatever I might be feeling at any given moment, but this doesn’t always “work.” Often it can be a struggle, especially when emotions are intense or heightened and the body is in a state of tension and restlessness. There’s the urge to distract yourself from the experience and do something else. For me, this isn’t always helpful and the presence of those feelings and sensations frequently becomes more noticeable and influencing when I try to distract myself from them.  Appreciation for life, the universe and everything within it is also something I think on each day, but it’s easy to forget exactly how to appreciate things, especially when it’s difficult to feel such appreciation — as it is for me.  How can you remain present, appreciative and aware of the beauty in life; in yourself and others? Daily gratitude, searching for inspiration and feelings of awe, practicing active listening and empathy, exposing myself to different kinds of art, media, books and other forms of potential inspiration. Journaling and talking about experiences that help me feel closer to the self, universe and nature.
