A Talk on self care with kindcherry2

cristlecares October 22nd, 2022

The amazing Talker🌻 : @kindcherry2


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.

Kind : A balanced time on 7 cups is when you spend a couple of hours or less on here to support people and listen to them. But not take on so much roles and chats that you get overwhelmed. I tend to stay on 7 cups all day but sometimes I will take a break and not look at 7 cups and forget I have it until I get an email and then I'll look at the message and respond. But usually I don't get to overhelmed by 7 cups.



What challenges did you face in trying to strike that balance?

Kind : I didn't really have any challenges I guess this just came natural to me. I know when to leave a situation that is when I'm stressed and irritable and moody.



How did you try to deal with those challenges?

Kind : I took the time I needed off of 7 cups and it helped me feel mentally better. The benefits are that I guess less stressed and overhelmed this way and actually enjoy helping people and appreciating being in the moment. That if you feel overwhelmed and stressed don't take on more chats and roles on 7 cups. Take the time to take care of yourself and your mental health as it is first priority.



What are the benefits of improving your balance for the time you spend on cups?

Kind : The benefits are that I guess I'm less stressed and overhelmed this way and actually enjoy helping people and appreciate being in the moment.



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?

Kind : That if you feel overwhelmed and stressed don't take on more chats and roles on 7 cups. Take the time to take care of yourself and your mental health as it is first priority.


Any 7cups friends you care for?

@cristlecares

Lovely interview!

Important reminder: "Not to take on so much roles and chats that you get overwhelmed." I think this message is so important. We all want to help as much as we can, but we have to look after ourselves as well! <3

I'm glad to hear that you feel this comes natural to you! A natural listener and supporter! I love that!

Wonderful words and interview @kindcherry2

Thanks for sharing with us @cristlecares 💛💫

@cristlecares A good day on 7 cups is when I get to help at least 2 people a day. It just makes me happy that I am able to help someone that is struggling.
