Help Us Capture the 7 Cups Spirit: Join the 7 Cups Slogan Challenge!

...See more We’ve built something truly special here at 7 Cups. Through the collective efforts of our listeners, leaders, and beloved members, we have sprouted and grown a community that welcomes people from all walks of life who can freely and openly share their experiences, offer support, find solace, and evolve as human beings. It’s a community founded on empathy, understanding, and the belief that we’re stronger together. We’re constantly striving to capture the essence of 7 Cups in a way that resonates with who we are and embodies the magic of what we do. Everyone has a voice, and every one of you has a little bit of that magic in you, and that’s why we’re turning to you for help! We’re looking to collect slogans and mantras that encapsulate the spirit of 7 Cups. Something that truly reflects the impact we have on each other’s lives. A slogan is a short, catchy phrase that is easy to remember. E.g. “think different" “breakfast of champions” and in the context of Cups: “grow through the path of problems.” & “high warmth high expectations” “beams!” A mantra is a word/words or phrase that’s memorable and easy to repeat. E.g. “I am enough” and in the context of 7 Cups: “listen with your heart” “we listen, we care.” As you think about 7 Cups, what comes to mind? I invite you all to participate by replying below with a slogan or mantra (or several if you’re inspired!).  * Upvote the ones that speak to you most and feel 7 Cups to you * Comment on them for extra points and encourage each other! We’ll rank the highest to feature in the community and across our socials. Cheers will be awarded to everyone who takes part! From the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping us tell our (your) story!

It's Not Your Fault
by Heather225
Last post

...See more It’s not your fault. What has happened to you is not your fault. The challenges and hardships you’ve endured at the hands of someone else are not a reflection of your character. The harm that’s been done is not a testament to your worth. I can say this because I’ve been there, too. I wrestled with self-loathing for years. I was raised in a toxic abusive environment by parents who were not equipped for the job. They fought relentlessly with the use of emotional warfare with no regard for what I heard and what they subjected me to. I was helpless to do anything to stop the hostility. It was over my head. They used threats I could not hope to understand until I was an adult. Only after gaining distance from them both could I look back on that part of my life and piece together the puzzle I hadn't been able to see when I was stuck in the middle of it. Unfortunately, once I put it together and viewed the full picture, I started blaming myself for all the things that I believed that maybe, just maybe, I could have prevented, if I just said this, or did that. What if I had just been more assertive? What if I had just said no? What if, what if, what ifs ruled my thoughts, clouding my judgment, and instead of being the closest friend I needed to be, to the inner child relying on me, I was making an enemy out of myself. I did quite a bit of soul-searching, but the reality is it took people around me—external voices—who heard my story to give me perspective and show me that I was hurting myself. You were a child. How were you supposed to know?  It hit home. I was a child. Accepting that was hard but in doing so, I took the first step to forgive myself for the pain I put myself through. The sky opened, and a shower of catharsis washed over me. For the first time, I felt this wonderful freeing thing called validation.  Feeling validated roused this sense of empowerment and ignited a newfound curiosity to find out if I was not as alone as I led myself to believe through my pain-driven isolation. I sought out to hear other stories. I listened to countless cases of similar suffering and as heartbreaking as it was to hear them, it was deeply soothing to realize that I am not alone. Not at all. I just needed to open up and talk. By recognizing that I was a survivor, I could release the unnecessary burden of guilt, shame, and self-hatred. I can’t begin to know what you’re going through, but what I do know is that you are not responsible for the actions others have taken. For whoever needs to hear this: you did only what you knew how to do. You did the best you could with what you had. Sometimes, bad things happen to good people, and there’s nothing you could have done to avoid it. It's okay to acknowledge that and to give yourself grace. You can’t change your past, but as they say, “hindsight is 20/20.” You are accountable for one person: you. Let go of what you think you could have done, and focus on what you can do now, and you’ll find glimmers of hope where there weren’t before. You may even find some of those glimmers right here in our community. It’s not your fault. Don’t be afraid to break the cycle and cut yourself loose because you will not fall. We will be waiting here to catch you. It’s one of the bravest most empowering things you could ever do. - To those who are struggling, I hope reading this brings you comfort, and return to this post whenever you need a reminder to practice self-compassion. 💙
Dashboard activities don't stay completed after completing
by Zeraphim

...See more The daily 3 activities don't stay completed after completing them and filling the 3 piece pie which represents completing the tasks for that day. When one navigates away to other parts of the site and returns to dashboard, the activities show as incomplete and the 3 piece pie to represent the completing of tasks for the day goes back to empty. This issue started yesterday and remains an issue today. Because of that, yesterday's "pie" is empty, and I expect this one's will be too. It's a bit frustrating. Anyone else have this issue?

Grief and Loss
by resourcefulPond1641
Last post
 September 13th
...See more As someone who was struggling with both intense grief and loss; after I came back to this site after a break, it took me a long time before I realized those things were still supported here; but they were now under General Support. I think that feels inappropriate; and I never would have thought to look there, because it seems to me likely to be a very different type of person and issue that would cause someone to look into general support, rather than someone looking for specific help to due to going through intense grief over the traumatic death of someone close to them as I was. I understand that that area wasn't actually being used that much; but somehow having it under the area of General Support seems even worse, because it feels so dismissive to me, as if it's not a serious enough this to be allowed it's own area. Or even to be mentioned in the title would have made it at least easier to find (e.g. General Support + Grief and Loss). I'm not sure how to solve this exactly, but I think this is something that needs to be addressed. If it was easier to find / signposted better maybe more people could actually find support there? Or maybe it would be better to let it have it's own area, even if it wasn't used as much. Because it's such an important topic. Intrested if anyone else has any thoughts about this?
