Join the One Line A Day Journaling Challenge
by SoulfullyAButterfly
Last post

...See more It might not seem like much, but putting pen to paper and writing down our thoughts and feelings can do wonders for our well-being. When we journal, we create a safe and private space where we can express ourselves freely and without judgment. This can be especially helpful if we find it hard to share our feelings with others. Journaling also helps us gain clarity and perspective on our thoughts and emotions. We can identify patterns in our thinking and behavior, which can help us recognize triggers and make positive changes in our lives. It can also be a powerful tool to manage stress, anxiety, and other mental health challenges. By writing down our worries and concerns, we can release some of the tension we're carrying around and feel more at ease. 7 Cups has recently launched a Journals & Diaries community and we’re kicking off the launch with a fun challenge you can join! To start and maintain a journaling practice, we are launching a One Line A Day Challenge, where you are invited to journal only one line a day, for 1 month (or more!). Here’s how to join in: * Subscribe to the Journals & Diaries subcommunity at 7 Cups by clicking “Join”. * Consider taking the Flourishing Assessment [https://www.7cups.com/assessment/Flourishing] before you begin the challenge to get a sense of how well you are thriving. This free assessment helps you get insight on your strengths too! * Click the “One Line A Day” topic on the right-hand side of the Journals & Diaries community homepage. Create a thread for your journaling journey. An example thread is “SoulfullyAButterfly’s One Line A Day Thread [https://www.7cups.com/forum/JournalsDiaries_219/OneLineADay_2524/SoulfullyAButterflysOneLineADayThread_301755/]”. You can mention your starting date and any other requests you would like (such as whether you prefer people only read or are ok to get supportive replies) in your first post. * Feeling stuck? We will also create daily journaling prompt threads under the “One Line A Day” topic/section to help you reflect on different things. While this is optional, you can use the prompts for inspiration and can respond under those threads (feel welcome to copy the prompt/response) onto your own thread if you feel like having everything in one place! An additional feature 7 Cups offers is your private journal and timeline. To view it, feel welcome to click here [https://www.7cups.com/path/]. Will you be joining the One Line A Day Challenge? Let us know below and tag other users you think may enjoy this!

7 Cups Private Journal Feature: Your Personal Safe Space
by SoulfullyAButterfly
Last post
 August 4th, 2024
...See more Having a safe space to reflect and document your thoughts and feelings can be a valuable tool in your wellness toolbox. A lot of us at 7 Cups have been journaling and self-reflecting, and I wanted to highlight the private journal feature which currently lives on our profiles as well as under the path steps we can take:  With the Private Journal feature, you can: 📝 Create Personal Entries: Document your thoughts, emotions, and experiences in a completely private setting. It's your space to express yourself freely, without judgment. 📆 View on Your Timeline: Your journal entries are organized on a timeline, alongside other site activity like messages, hearts, path steps taken, and assessment score data. This timeline provides a holistic view of your progress and self-care journey. Have you tried out this feature yet? Feel welcome to share feedback and any ideas on how you would want this feature updated to meet your journalling needs.

my journal: various subjects, opinionating, CW at times

...See more The title explains itself. If you're interested in the ramblings of a middle-aged man with chronic conditions who, at times, sees things a little too clearly for his own good, then read on. Sometimes I get political, but it won't be all the time. I don't mind comments in general but if you're going to differ with what I write, that's fine--as long as you can explain your position clearly & reasonably. Rants, shouting & general incoherence will be ignored or flagged, depending on the situation. Try to remember that not everyone else in this world holds your beliefs. Every so often I may post art or snapshots of projects I'm working on. If you're still interested after reading all the above, great. (I do wonder at how much time you have on your hands, though)

Out of The Corner/In The World
by unassumingEyes
Last post

...See more Hi! Some of you might know of my other space here, In the corner. Or just, "the corner" in my head. This is the world! I.e this is me learning to "adult" (what?), get out of my comfort zone, accept my flaws, seek the positives in life, etc etc! My journey out of the comfort zone, basically. And it's going to be rocky, it's going to be real hard, and I'm going to end up in the corner venting about something more times than not, probably, but it's a step, I think.  Let's get out of the corner! (That was kinda cheesy!)

I hate how impulsive I am

...See more Extremely impulsive. Too impulsive for my own good. So impulsive it denies the image I was trying to give off (because it is my identity, I am trans-typal remember), resulting in extreme distress and embarrassment. I'm going to be homeless before I know it and it's all my fault. The older I got the more I inadvertently made life worse for myself and it's all my fault.

...See more hello fellow friend, i'm not sure if you know me, but you may call me bunny if you so wish to. (i know, so interesting right? xD)  I've grown kind of bored of chat rooms and my diary thread and although I will continue using them, this is just a fresh page for me to lean on for a while.  this is a corner where i share what goes on in my mind, and what happens in the depths of my thoughts, whether it's about evil, curiosity, intelligence, life, emotions, anything and everything can go in here.  I'll write here whenever I find the energy to do so and whenever I get random depressing thoughts at 1am (there is something magical about the night!)  I hope anyone will enjoy reading, and whilst responses are welcome please keep it on topic and not random irrelevant stuff, for the sake of this thread.  Best wishes, Bunny

TealPhotog’s One line a day journal (thread)

...See more I am hoping this will help me be consistent with some form of journaling. I know it will help my mental health and life in general, but I have never been able to be consistent. Maybe this will help. T/CW: just in case. I grew up in High control, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually abusive environments. That has lead to a slew of diagnosis on top of the ADHD, dyslexia & PMDD. With that in mind, I can’t always predict what exactly my “One Line A Day” will contain. If you made it through my above rambling I am open to comments & questions. If you see that I have not posted for the day, please feel free to comment & remind me. With gentle Compassion, TealPhotog

I want to be minimal and low-key, yet at the same time I'd rather be as big as a skyscraper than the size of a can of diet coke

...See more sometimes, especially when Im stoned af, I realise (with a sense of dread and a very mild feeling of impending doom) all the irreversible damage I'm doing to my body by smoking cigarettes and everything sometimes, however, I feel like becoming addicted to harder drugs, I feel like [censored, but as a euphemism: cessation of DNA] [[lines on flesh], because I'd rather not exist at all than experience the misery that is life. but if the afterlife exists or not, that's a massive factor. I could try researching arguments for and against god(s)'s existence all I want but I will never form a solid conclusion, and to make it even more problematic the more theistic I become the more hate I'll get in an increasingly nihilistic society.

...See more I feel alone and unlistened to. As if people don't view me the way I like to be viewed. No compliments, just mindless upvotes. At the same time complaining about this is kinda awkward, I'm so ashamed to be so rejection-avoidant in the first place it's a catch-22 situation.

...See more For *** sake to just be able to be around my social worker etc without feeling awkward, without breaking into tears pretty much every *** time. to just be able to regulate myself all of the time. Im so *** ashamed of emotional dysregulation. the liquids kicking in but I doubt it properly has yet, in the meantime Im struggling to decide where to travel to to get my steps in. Now im realising maybe this whole "simlike" "sluglike" criticism from my brother corresponding to whatever doomer nihilism the Matrix simulation theory I read on the internet maybe its just a vague illusion and at the end of the day human behaviour and actions are meaningless (but I cant help but believe that that belief, that the way you act and your tastes behaviours etc has got nothing to do with how "sluglike and simlike" you are, is inherently "sluglike and simlike" in itself, inherently discouraging me from believing such a thing) now its kicking in too confused dissociated to think straight like at all I wish I had more acne. I wish I zoned out more. I wish I played more video games. Thats cool af.
