❤️💛💚💙💜

My name is Heather (my nickname is H), and I head the 7 Cups Community Management Team (list here). Please drop by my PMs if you have any questions or safety concerns!

NOTE: I am unable to take member support chats as a listener. To find a listener click the Browse Listeners. Listeners indicate if they are taking on new chats in their profile. The green dot indicates they are currently online. For urgent needs please join the general queue ("Start new chat" on the app) and the first available listener will connect.

7 Cups is built on collaboration, and a little appreciation goes a long way! It takes just a second to make someone's whole day right now:

...See more Have you ever found yourself working on an issue or challenge in your life, feeling like it’s resolved, only to find that it has slipped over into a new area? Sometimes this can feel like the game whac-a-mole [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whac-A-Mole] where you think you solved the problem only to find it surfacing in a new part of your life. You might find yourself stuck in a cycle of negative thoughts and behaviors, replaying the same struggles. Last month I introduced a new intervention to confront this called the Transformation Wheel. The wheel acts as a container so that the problem, and all the different ways it impacts you, can be captured in one place. You can think of it as a “problem catcher.” This makes the problem easier to track. I used this tool to tackle a personal issue I had been struggling with for years in the hopes of breaking free of the negative cycles it put me in and it’s been transformative. I was feeling an 8/10 (bad!) on the distress scale and after 4 weeks of exploration and investment, the issue has dropped to 2/10, meaning the issue’s well managed now. Several community members joined the initial trial testing the initiative on an issue in their life to help us determine if this would be a good addition to our community’s therapeutic toolbox. Excitingly, it helped many reduce their symptoms, develop better coping strategies, and better manage their emotions round their issue. Inspired by the success of our testers, we are now ready to expand this initiative and make it official! Introducing the Transformation Wheel Challenge, a fun and engaging way for our community to come together and use it collectively.! How it works: * Read the Introductory post [https://www.7cups.com/forum/siteupdates/General_2444/IntroducingtheTransformationWheelInvitationtoJoin_342256/] * Review the guide to understand the process [https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/10ZNwCgmwk3Gpn0N7W715avZE2HxSyywn1hBvMuTaelA/edit#slide=id.g31c733bb7ac_1_15] * Sign up HERE [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfKmc0EgyrXrPjfXGch4v1GgNkVLiKXowsHF1i8PkWHN-HXiA/viewform]. * Each week, post in the corresponding forum thread (and comment on others to cheer them on!) * To keep yourself on track, you will fill out a progress report each new week (2, 3, 4) * At the end of Week 4, you’ll fill out your final reflection form summarizing your experience and sharing your takeaways, and you’ll receive the exclusive Braving Self badge! 💪✨ Benefits of participating: * Accountability: Having a community to share your progress with can help you stay motivated and on track. * Support: You'll have access to a network of people who are also using the wheel, providing support and encouragement along the way. * Shared learning: You can learn from the experiences of others and gain new insights into personal growth. * Sense of accomplishment: It always feels great to complete challenges and you’ll be rewarded not only by yourself for your hard exploration work but you’ll be given a badge for your grit! We're excited to see how this challenge unfolds and to support you in taking control of your life! Sign up and discover the power within you!

...See more Hi everyone, and welcome to the Transformation Wheel Challenge [https://www.7cups.com/forum/siteupdates/TherapeuticExperimentTheTransformationWheel_2681/TackleyourproblemsandwelcomepositivechangeJointheofficialTransformationWheelChallenge_345975/]! This week is all about reviewing the guide, familiarizing yourself with the process, and setting your intentions. Don't forget to fill out the signup form if you haven't already. [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfKmc0EgyrXrPjfXGch4v1GgNkVLiKXowsHF1i8PkWHN-HXiA/viewform] Keep in mind the Transformation Wheel is as much about the process of transformation as the journey. While the journey is certainly a part of it, the wheel itself is a tool to help you understand how you're changing and what areas of your life are impacted. It's a framework for self-discovery and growth, a structured way to explore a challenge and its ripple effects. Feel free to introduce yourselves and share what area of your life you'll be focusing on (if comfortable). And please leave supportive responses to your peers cheering them on! Our paths are unique but the journey is shared so please help one another stay accountable and motivated! Let’s get started!
