A Talk On Self-Care With BlueRiver5968!
Talker: @BlueRiver5968
What is your idea of spending a balanced time on 7cups? Share your idea of how a good day looks like on 7cups, for you.
My idea of spending a balanced time on 7 cups is by giving my offsite life first priority like university. A good day on 7cups for me is by finishing all the homework and chores I have for the day and then logging in to 7cups to support members and listeners in chatrooms. Lastly, I would reply to my tags and pms if any.
What challenges did you face in trying to strike that balance?
I couldn’t stop being in chat rooms while I was a new listener as I had made great friends in chat rooms.
How did you try to deal with those challenges?
Luckily I had amazing mentors to help me find balance and I could stay from chat rooms and prioritize my real life needs. For member chats, the booking link also helped me to keep my boundaries firm.
What are the benefits of improving your balance for the time you spend on cups?
Balancing and managing time allows you to accomplish bigger results in a shorter period of time which leads to more time freedom, helps you focus better, allows you to be more productive, lowers your stress, and gives you more time to spend with the people that matter most
What message would you like to give to the cupsers who have come to be negatively attached to cups, in one of the many ways?
It is hard to overcome addiction…it’s not easy so I understand. We can take small steps to improve our balance daily and who knows…we might find the balance we are looking for. We can start by getting good sleep , limit screen usage as 7 cups also takes up screen time, exercise regularly, eat healthy, etc. We can do this together :).

Amazing interview, so well said! I love the way you said you give offline life priority and log on after your other responsibilities. I could do better about that 😛
"Balance allows you to accomplish bigger results in a shorter time period." *claps* *chef's kiss*
Phenomenal!
Thank you River and @Clarisse29 💚💛
@WarmLightXO

Thanks @WarmLightXO for the kind words. Glad you liked my thoughts.
@Clarisse29 - Hello, Clarisse! Thank you again for another wonderful interview, and it's always great to see you around in forum land. 🤗
@BlueRiver5968 - Hello, River! It's really really reallyyyy great to see you again. I can completely understand that obligation to be in the group chatrooms, since we have all made great friends there. However, reaching out to wonderful mentors and hearing that they helped you balance your time between 7 Cups and your offline life really warms my heart. And doing scheduled appointments instead of taking immediate chats are really helpful in prioritizing your day and ensuring that you have the time to focus on your members without worrying about what's going on offline. Finally, I really love what you wrote for the second to last question: "Balancing and managing time allows you to accomplish bigger results in a shorter period of time which leads to more time freedom;" that really resonated with me, because being able to manage your time better really gives you the feeling of freedom to do what you enjoy, while also making the important activities in your life a priority. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful responses with us! ❤️
