Trying is enough
Hiyaaa beautiful people ! Hoping everyone is doing well and staying safe 💜
Let's talk about Trying , and the power of trying today. Remember when you tried something for the first time, how did you feel about it ? Was it exciting, nerve wracking , nonchalant , mix of everything at once ? But hey, however the feeling was , you did try it then and perhaps you're engaging in it ever since .
Sometimes our best efforts might not be rewarded with the best results or even results we would like to see , but just simply trying and giving our best is quite something too ~ worth a praise and worth reassuring to keep on trying again and worth a pat on your back for even thinking about trying and willing to take a step forward.
💜 What is something you tried recently? How do you feel about it ?
( remember, it is one thing to get what you wanted to by that trial but another to even have the will to try at something, we want to acknowledge our efforts even when the results are not what we want or not quick to show up for us )
💜 What is something you'd like to try soon ? Why ?
( this could be literally anything , from wanting to learn a new language to starting your own business to engaging in some self care practice etc )

Sunniee!!!! It's amazing post!! I love it. And I 100% agree with you because I truly believe in trying. Trying isn't bad. It makes you to learn something and it gives you experience. You should try everything in your life. And for getting success too, we need to keep trying.
❤ I tried writing a journal. I didn't write much about me, it's just about positive quotes, affirmations, poetry and lots of art and craft stuff. I really love to do something in it. It makes me feel so so so good and I enjoy😊.
❤ I want to try like hundreds of things in my life. I want to experience a lot. So it's a big list but okay for soon I will try to... I am thinking for 5 minutes constantly lol. I don't know what would I try... But I will try something for sure ✨
I love your idea of a creative journal and so glad to know it makes you feel happy and good ! Also , No worries haha, I understand there's so much to explore and give a try , take your time always ! You're awesome! Keep trying , Love ❤
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou

Ride a bike again... Just the thought is making me ecstatic... 😊😁☺️
Woo Riding a bike sure sounds super adventurous and fun , hope you get the chance to do sooon ! ❤ Thankyou for participating ! @RideaRainbow
Hahahaaaa... Thanks...!!! 😃
Someone once told me "trying is all that matters" and this really stuck in my mind.. We try a th
usand times and with each attempt we learn something new or prove an idea.
Right now I'm trying to focus on my mental health. Mental strategies, breathing exercises, mindful meditation. And I feel very good about this.. doesn't it start from the inside?
and i intend to learn to play guitar soon.
Thanks for the nice topic
It is great to know you're working on your mental health , trying different exercises and practicing various coping skills . It is not easy but even willing to try and take that very first step is super commendable and I for one ,am so proud of you and rooting for you in this journey of yours . You got this ,okie (?) One step at a time ❤
Also yay on learning to play guitar, I've heard playing music can have a relaxing effect on ourselves too ~ so maybe learning this could also aid in someway in bettering your mental health ! Win - Win 😄
Glad to know you found this topic nice, thanks so much for sharing your valuable response!
Much love and Best wishes always !
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
You are definitely right..
Thank you for your kindness.. I appreciate this and it means a lot to me..
🤍 With best wishes and love
@SunisshiningandsoareyouWhat is something you tried recently? How do you feel about it ?
I tried relaxing at work and talking to my co-workers. I have PTSD and am terribly anxious. When I talk at work, I have a vocal tremor, much of the time. My relaxing didn't work as far as relaxing my vocal tremor. I tried. I'm going to keep trying, but I wish it worked. I'm disappointed.
💜 What is something you'd like to try soon ? Why ? I'd like to try wearing a hearing aid. I am hard of hearing and have been going through life hearing with difficulty. I don't have health insurance so I am paying for the doctors and the hearing aid out of my own pocket. It is expensive.
@purpleTree4652
Coming super late to this, so very sorry, Tree but thankyou for replying here. ❤ Brave of you to practice some self-soothing and trying to talk to your colleagues, anxiety and mix of other stuff gets the best out of us at times, completely understandable to find it struggle-some, a big yay for you to keep trying. How have things been on your end, at work specially?
I get you about the hearing aid, it sadly is quite expensive, hoping there were more budget- alternatives available, and you could get to try soonish. ❤
Lovely post and I am replying immediately...
Something I tried my hand at recently :
*Different art techniques
*Dance steps
Both are close to my heart and I enjoying dabbling in both.
Next I want to try my hand at learning to play guitar which is my favorite instrument.
@RideaRainbow
Thankyou so much, Tani, always great to hear from you.🌹
Oooh you're quite the creative person hehe, so nice to hear you tried different art techniques and dance steps, both of these are quite therapeutic *and* fun. What kind of art technique do you enjoy the most, if any?
Woohoo on another amazing thing to try for, playing a guitar is so cool, something i tried long back for a little while, would love to try it again soon too (this time with more determination hopefully lol). Hope you get to play soon.❤
Ooooooh my god we're really going there OKAY well. My mandalorian backpack i just bought isn't too happy about this I imagine (after all, do or do not, there is no try - yoda) BUT I love this post for the healing and compassion within.
So I am TRYING to be a success. A part of me KNOWS it deserves it and that it is my destiny. Another part seems to run from it. Yet another seems too preoccupied with the details.
I'm also TRYING to have a summer fling. I have an uproarious crush on someone and it's driving me bananas, because they apparently feel the same way and yet we are both also very independent and focused on other things in equal measure- our career, family, whatever.
I'm also TRYING to heal without the use of medication. I've been off it almost continuously for about a decade now. A current healer with decades of tools under their belt said I need to work on my throat chakra. So I've been singing, wearing necklaces and covering my throat with a fancy pants dress that has a high neck to help.
Turns out I have a poverty mentality with time I've been hard in denial about due to ducking expectations and procrastination and a lack of balance in the area of letting go and control.
So listened to an abundance in time meditation, tried to make spiritual and otherwise friends and for the next step is I will need to try to also heal my root chakra as that is where it bloody well starts.
And that will continue to be a load of little tries here, there and everywhere like i'm some frikkin frankenstien
It's pretty challenging but it is fun. Thanks to 7 cups I am learning about respect and listening and to extend that to my outer life. Because I was pretty damn snarky. Sometimes still am. I'm working on it though! Was singing Aretha Franklin 'Respect' this morning so I'm on my way from misery to happiness today, uh huh uh huh uh huh uh huh
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
@Dallady
Haha that makes sense. I like to consider the grays too, the not so black white contexts, ones in between, "trying to do" is a thing and it deserves all the acknowledgement too, I feel. So glad you can resonate with the compassion and healing in the post. 😊
Oh wow lots of things you're trying and so passionate about.
With success, I guess it is unique to people, different people measure "success" for them differently, and it is okay for you to take your time through it and make yourself proud the way you deserve it too, this far you know you deserve it and that honestly makes me feel so happy for you.
Summer fling, ooh sounds real nice that the crush is reciprocated. I get how different things going in y'alls lives may be a roadblock, but I hope y'all will be able to cross it together, if together is a place y'all intend to be. Being seen, cared for and loved are such beautiful experiences, I'm soo rooting for you.
I'm so proud of how far you've come and how you're constantly trying to better yourself and your wellbeing. It's indeed a work-in-progress for a lot of things, and learning is an ongoing process, really happy to know 7 cups has been helpful to you in many ways. Thankyou for sharing. Wishing you the best in everything you're trying, or trying to do your best at. You got this. ❤
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
Hi Good Day Sunshine! 😊❤️ What a great forum post! I just came across it as it cycled through on my dashboard 😊
I love the topic you chose! There is much to be said about trying. I remember interacting with Glen in a forum post long ago and what he said to me and to the rest of the team was marvelous! What he said was "fall down, get up, fall down, get up". I loved that! Pretty darn inspirational if you ask me 😊👍❤️
Over time, I added a little bit more to it in my thought process and so now my thinking is "fall down, get up, fall down, get up.......wash, rinse and repeat" lol 😊
There is much more to be said about a person in how they got back up, than in how they fell down.
*high fives* 😊 and *hugs* ❤️
@SparkyGizmo
Woo so happy you got to see this post, Sparky Sparkkkk.❤
That's indeed an amazing thought, both what Glen said and your addition to it. How someone gets up after a fall is the most beautiful thing ever certainly very inspiring ~ falling down is okay, we all do, just gotta keep trying to get up, that is all that matters after all, yes and yes. Always have loved your insights, and thought-process. Many thanks for sharing with us.❤ *big hugs* and *high fives* back 🤗
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
❤️❤️❤️
I'd like to agree, but the real world has a way of giving us a different message...
@slowdecline48
Aw and what message is that? :0
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
smol ones?🥺👉👈 ?
haha hahahahahah 🤣
*high fives* 😊 and *hugs* ❤️ gotcha!
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
Thank you for this encouraging ୧⍤⃝🌻 article, Sunshine 🌞❤! ⊂(ᵔ◡ᵔ⊂)
💜 What is something you tried recently? How do you feel about it ?
Me not sure if this can be counted as trying something. I try to be patient and not snap back at my dad when he started to snap at me ٩(⸝⸝ᵕᴗᵕ⸝⸝)و*̣̩⋆*
💜 What is something you'd like to try soon ? Why ?
I would like to try to not spend a lot of time watching short reels in fb just to distract myself from stressful situationsヾ(๑╹ヮ╹๑)ﾉ”
