Moving forward with positive focus
by ASilentObserver
Last post
 July 19th
...See more Hello everyone! I hope everyone is doing well. As you might know, we did a growth path survey a couple of weeks ago where we asked what kind of growth paths you all would like to see. And, one of the most requested categories was Moving forward with a positive focus. I'd like to invite you to help me create good growth paths in this category. It would be great to team up where we collectively share what has helped us learn, understand, how to move forward with a positive focus. These can be personal experiences, things people have said to us, books or ideas we have come across, talks or short videos we have found on YouTube, images that we find helpful, etc. Let's share all of the above in this thread and work together to figure out how to make these steps or exercises. It can be used to help others become better at moving forward. Any and all ideas, thoughts are welcomed. This is our discussion space where we can get ideas flowing. We will figure it out as we learn and evolve. Thank you and I'm looking forward to working with you all on creating Growth Path Playlists on this topic! ------------------------- We would also appreciate your feedback, thoughts on these topics too: Open here to check!

path away from not being someone to being seen for being someone

...See more this may seem  crazy to more, but it what we have lived. seem like all my life i was not allowed to be a full person. seem like i was  just seen as my mom daughter  and my brothers sister. many did not call me by my name at all. some even thought i was just like my mom with her likes and dislikes. no one asked me  what i personally liked and dislikes. this made me feel like i was  no one at all. may 2017  i moved to different  city in same state. first time in my life  i been not close to were my  family  lives. so people now here know me as me call me by name. even ask questions about my likes and dislikes. this even after more then 7yr still feel odd, but to others it be normal to  have name used and asked questions about self. not even sure why it just feel odd to me. here i living free from  them who abused me. not even  hear from family members much. but i also find myself at times lost to what i like and dislike it just so new to me still. feel kinda crazy writing this out even most would know answers to what they truly like and dislike but i question that a lot

Embracing Endings: Finding beauty in sunsets
by Ubebe
Last post
 March 10th
...See more If someone asked me if I'm more of a sunrise or sunset person, I'd definitely go with sunrise. There's just something about the fresh start and potential of a new day that gets me excited. Sunsets, on the other hand, used to make me feel kind of sad. They reminded me that things were ending, and I wasn't a fan of that. But lately, I've been thinking differently. I've realized that endings aren't all bad. In fact, they can be pretty beautiful in their own way. It's taken me some time, but I've come to accept that some things and some people and even aspects of my former self just won't be around forever. And you know what? That's okay. Now when I see a sunset, I see it as a reminder of all the good times and experiences I've had. It's like a celebration of the journey, with all its ups and downs. Sure, it's bittersweet, but there's a certain kind of magic in watching the sky light up with those warm, vibrant colors. So yeah, maybe I'm still more of a sunrise person at heart, but I've definitely learned to appreciate the beauty in a good sunset. It's all part of this crazy thing we call life, and I'm just trying to soak it all in.

Progress Matters - No Matter How Small!
by IamtheBat
Last post
 November 24th, 2023
...See more my experiences here as a listener over the last 8 or so years gave me 2 very important things to perceive life with 1. you can always choose to avoid facing your fears, but all that will lead to, is the inevitable end of facing the fear with more doubt, more regret, and more delay 2. facing your fears, be it your past or anything else, every single day, means that also brings you one day closer, to the end of it 3. Progress, no matter how small, matters! no matter if the step was too big or too small, as long as you are better off than yesterday, that is what truly matters. The world needs the best version of you, you owe that, to yourself

Paths' length

...See more Hello, I am new to the paths and I am trying to understand how they work. The ones I am using (Managing Emotions f.e.) seem to go on for a long number of steps (I am at 58) and at some point they start just repeating the exercises. If I "switch path" they don't reset, but just keep going, e.g. I'd start from step 59 of the new path. Can you guide me? I have a premium membership, if that helps clarifying. Thank you!

Step 11

 December 16th, 2022
...See more Ok, my step 11 (now 14) is to get a long term listener. It has a link to a forum post. But there is no way to move past the step. If I click the button above I can do something else, but my next step is always to get a long term Listener. However here's the thing, I have a long term listener, I've posted on the forum twice and even talked with other non-long term listeners. I've up voted there post. I've done all I can to move on, but my growth step remains the same. What does this thing need me to do, I don't get it?

Wanted to share a tip
by Osd123
Last post
 November 2nd, 2022
...See more i have been struggling a lot with anger lately, and I actually came across this really good tip and trick to toning down anger when it’s too overwhelming or not needed, and though I didn’t find it through 7cups, I thought I’d share in case anyones going through the same: when you’re angry or upset with someone, imagine when they were little. Imagine your partner when they were 7 and they were crying because their father yelled at them about math homework, imagine when your mother was sitting on the curb waiting for her bus in 3rd grade, growing impatient and cold. Imagine all the things that brought them to this point, and find a way to rationalize that they are human too. We are all human, it’s only natural to get upset with on another on occasion, but try to think back to what’s hurt them as well.
