🍵 Taking a Break from 7 Cups

I spent two weeks recently off the internet as a whole and it resulted in a more relaxed life experience.

Ive gone on a many breaks lately from cups and online stuff in the past few months, I have found that I am much more present and engaged with the people and things happening around me. There are more thoughtful conversations and connections with people when i'm not attached to my phone

i don’t think I’ll take a break from cups atm as it’s only impacting my life positively and I’m not on it too much so not becoming dependant which is good, tho I understand why ppl would take a break and how it can help :)

@SoulfullyAButterfly I've gone one self care breaks many times. And while I have found it beneficial in my real life, one thing I've noticed is sometimes it feels weird coming back after some time and having to find your groove with things again... especially after having been active on here. I have found it difficult, but I know my real life was what mattered most. As you mentioned, even 7 Cups can be addicting even though it does many of us good. Being attached to our computers and phones all the time can cause us to be out of touch with reality. So I definitely encourage everyone to take time off 7 Cups and put the electronics down to just focus on themselves for a bit. Self care is so important and it's something we all need! 7 Cups will be waiting for us and still here. Life, however, waits for no one. ♡ Self care, y'all!

I'm new to 7 Cups, so I think it's little too early for me to take a break but I do make sure to set limits on my time here which helps me stay balanced, focused and helps me offer better support and overall it's been a fulfilling experience💖

I’m honestly thinking about taking a break and just focusing on my mental health.

@SoulfullyAButterfly

Have taken many partial breaks and reduced my time and activities here significantly, and it always is such a reminder that a balance between our on and off cups life is so so important. And of course, the vitality of self-care and boundaries.🌞

Actually I came back a week or so, but before that I took a really long break to focuse on my life and self-care. The time of reminded me that I can do so much by myself to make me feel better and improve my metal health. It doesn't always need an other person to make us comfortable, we can do so much by ourselves and that's what it remined my of. ^^

@SoulfullyAButterfly I loved how you just said that 7 Cups can be addicting too, because it is, and I'm addicted to Cups really very much. I'm trying to get better with it though. I can never take a full break because Cups is what keeps me alive, but I'm trying to spend a little less time here and focus on studying lately. So I'm trying to come here after I do some schoolwork. Some days it works and some days I still spend a lot of time cupsing...
