Update Effective 5/2024: **Currently not taking any chat at the moment***

Hello, I am BouncyMusic133. You can call me Bouncy or Music.

In a world that often rushes by, I have chosen to stand still--to be a listener. I recognize that feelings are intricate landscapes, sometimes overwhelming and difficult to navigate. On those challenging days, we all yearn for someone who genuinely listens.

I am here for you. 

I understand that each person's journey is unique, shaped by experiences that merit acknowledgment and understanding. My goal is to provide a space where your voice is heard, where your emotions find expression without judgment.

While I respect your curiosity about me, my primary objective is to ensure you are listened to. I believe that through the art of listening, we can forge connections that transcend the surface, creating a profound understanding of each other's humanity.

So, let's embark on this journey together. Your story, your emotions, and your experiences matter. I am here to listen, without judgment, and with the utmost respect for the unique narrative you bring to the conversation.

Here are some things about me:

1. I respect boundaries and I expect you to respect mine as well. I know that it is important for some members to know their listeners before sharing. Everything you need to know about me is here. My goal here is to be able to provide you with a safe space to share and listen to you. To best utilize our hour together, I do not want to take any of our time to focus on me, I am here for you. 

2. 1:1 requests. Currently, I do not take scheduled 1:1 chats due to my personal, work, and school schedules. I do not want to make a commitment that I cannot keep. You can leave a message and if I am available, I will message you back. It is advised that you not wait on me and will get a faster response from another listener at 7cups.com/BrowseListeners.

...See more * 💓hello everyone. 💓 Music here.  Happy Wednesday! In one of my classes, we talked about self-care today and this was shared in the class discussion. I wanted to share this here for you all as well because I thought it was really good.  PRAYER FOR SERENITY God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardship as a pathway to peace; taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; trusting that You will make all things right if I surrender to Your will; so that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with You forever in the next. Amen. - Reinhold Niebuhr * Credit: https://www.celebraterecovery.com/resources/serenity-prayer [https://www.celebraterecovery.com/resources/serenity-prayer] * * Can you think of a recent situation where you found it challenging to accept something beyond your control? How did you handle it?

...See more 🌟 Happy Tuesday everyone! 🌟 I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude and share some positivity with all of you. Today, I'm feeling incredibly thankful for having supportive people in my life. I had a rough day at work today with this rain. I was in line waiting to pay for my sandwich and the cashier smiled and asked if I was okay. He told me everything would get better, and I thanked him. Small little gesture to make me feel better and smile today.    As I reflect on the blessings in my life, I'm reminded of the beauty that surrounds us each day. From the warmth of the morning sun to the comforting embrace of loved ones, there's so much to be thankful for.   Now, I'd love to hear from you! What's something that's brought a smile to your face recently? Let's spread some positivity together!   Thank you taking your time to read my post. Wishing you all a fantastic week ahead! ✨   With love and appreciation,    BouncyMusic133

...See more Hello everyone. Music here. I wanted to share something I came across when I was researching how to connect with God through our prayers and different tools that we can use to help guide our spiritual practices.    I came across this Online Spiritual Exercises document you can retrieve from or get more information from:    https://ourladyofbethesda.org/sites/bethesda/files/online_spiritual_exercises_booklet_-_for_livestreaming_spex.pdf   What are spiritual exercises?   The Spiritual Exercises, designed by St. Ignatius Loyola, encompass a series of meditations, prayers, and contemplative practices intended to assist individuals in deepening their spiritual bond with God. These exercises delve into various essential aspects of spiritual life, with a central focus on the principle of imitating Christ, our Lord.   AIM: Spiritual exercises have three main goals:  1.     To know ourselves in God’s eyes 2.     To know the person of Jesus Christ. 3.     To imitate the person of Jesus Christ.  MEANS: 1.     Directed meditation: Two parts meditation that can last up to an hour each. The first part is when the priest provide the individuals retreatants information for the second part and the second part is welcoming the individual to meditate on the points. 2.     Conferences: Held daily with different topics to discuss. 3.     Personal Questionnaires: Retreatants are given the opportunity to focus on a personal questionnaire. This can help someone get to know themselves better. 4.     Mass: The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. 5.     Spiritual Directions: Opportunity to meet and discuss with a Spiritual Directors questions one may have. 6.     Rosary: Private and recited individually. 7.     Stations of the Cross: The Stations of The Cross also prayed individually. 8.     Silence: Silence is how God communicates with us: internal and external silence. The important kind is internal silence. Here is some Morning Prayers shared in the document (Page 10) PRAYER TO THE HOLY TRINITY “My Lord, God of heaven and earth – Father and Creator, Son and Redeemer, Holy Spirit and Sanctifier – I adore you and love you with all my heart. I thank you for creating me, redeeming me, calling me to the Catholic faith, and watching over me last night. I offer you on this day my prayer, my work, and my struggles, my sufferings and my joys. Enable me to do everything out of love for you and according to your will. Make me steadfast in living my Christian vocation, patient in suffering, courageous in proclaiming my faith; fill me with wisdom on life’s journey and charity in dealing with others. Free me from sin and from all evil. May your grace always remain with me and with all who are dear to me. Amen.”  PRAYER TO JESUS CHRIST “Lord Jesus, faithful friend of my soul, once more I offer you my life so you can teach me to do your will, give me the strength to follow you, and help me to imitate your virtues, especially those that please you most: charity, humility, justice and honesty. Make me a faithful, zealous apostle of your Church and grant me the grace that will enable me to proclaim your saving message to the brothers and sisters I meet on my journey today. May I live my Catholic faith with such evident conviction and share it with such ardent zeal that I become a fruitful and effective fisher of souls for you. Amen.” PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN “Mother, I come before you on this new day to bless you for the great things almighty God has done for you, to thank you for the graces you have obtained for me, to consecrate to you all my thoughts, words and actions, and to ask your blessing for me and all those who are dear to me. Intercede with God for all of us as we strive to live the faith, hope and charity of which you set us such an admirable and noble example. Enable me to imitate the life of prayer, obedience, humility, fidelity, sacrifice and simplicity that you shared with your Son, our Brother and Lord. Help me to form a meek and humble heart like that of your son, Jesus Christ, and obtain for me the grace of receiving him in the sacrament of his love as fervently as you throughout the years of your solitude. Mother, tell Jesus how much I want to love him, how ardently I desire to become holy and be his apostle. Tell him how fervently and constantly I want to serve him and be his faithful instrument in fulfilling my specific mission in this world. Amen.” Here is a Night Prayer shared on the document (Page 11): “My Lord and my God, I give You thanks for the countless benefits You have given me, and especially for creating me, redeeming me, calling me to the Catholic faith, choosing me to be an apostle among my neighbors and freeing me from many dangers of soul and body. Enlighten my mind so that I may recognize my faults and grant me the grace to be truly sorry and sincerely mend my ways. Amen.”  If you took the time to read this, thank you.

Ikigai: Finding Purpose

February 1st
...See more One of the concepts that were shared in the IDG Path is “Ikgai”. I found this concept to be very interesting.   First off, “Ikigai” is a Japanese concept “_referring to the sources that bring value to and make life worthwhile_”. In other words, it is concept that represents the reasoning for being, encompassing joy, sensing purpose, and feeling fulfilled. The word “iki” in means “life” and “gai” means worth or value.  There are 4 main elements in ikigai:  1.      Passion: what you love 2.     Vocation: what you are good at 3.     Mission: what the world neds 4.    Profession: what you can be paid for To me, ikigai is my comfort zone or spot where I find myself to be happiest and fulfilled. Basically where I find things are balance and harmony comes together. I feel that it is a holistic approach that goes beyond and extends to all aspect in life.  Here are the two questions for you to answer and reflect on: 1.     How does the pursuit of you ikigai contribute to a sense of purpose and meaning in your life? 2.     How well are you incorporating your passion into your daily life?
"I Statement" for Effective Communication

...See more One of the skills that stood out to me during the IDG Path is “I Statements” for Effective Communication. There are times when I have been hurt or someone has said something that I did not feel comfortable with, and I choose to stay quiet about it. Then it starts to make the relationship between me and the other person awkward. Then the relationship between the other person and I start to slowly disappear.    I think that communication is really important in our daily lives such as work, school, and our relationships. As the path stated it “enables us to confidently address issues and minimizes conflicts”. Using "I statements" is a communication technique where individuals express their thoughts, feelings, and needs clearly and assertively.   You may be thinking “How do I use “I statements” to communicate?”. Well…in the path the formula for “I Statements” is as follows: * Start with "I feel/felt" followed by an emotion word. * Describe the specific behavior of the other person that triggered your emotion. * Explain the reason behind your feelings without placing blame. In what ways have “I statement” helped in resolving conflicts or misunderstands for you?
