...See more Our forums are a melting pot of our community’s collective knowledge and creativity. It’s become an invaluable resource for information sharing and community building. However, over time, outdated links and broken resources can impede discoverability. Our process for addressing this at present is, if you notice anything like this, to submit the post via a form (more info on this here [https://www.7cups.com/forum/7cupsleadership/CommunitiesInformation_2314/NeedtocontactaforumleaderFindouthowhere_315542/]) for our forum leaders to see to it that the post is edited and/or updated. My post here serves to amplify its visibility and make an ask of you all to please support us with this by raising any outdated or irrelevant content via the form [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSePF0i2FXJndT8X0SlZAzqaTawHaBvc_H8yUGeoH4chbm5tPg/viewform]. Things you may notice worth escalating for review: Outdated or broken links to posts, external docs and sheets (google) Formatting issues (those posts with weird symbols/text from old bugs) Typically a lot of outdated resources surface in communities like Group Support, 7 Cups Leadership, Community Projects & Events, Listener Learning and Journey, and Safety and Knowledge And as extra incentive, ✨ cheers ✨ will be awarded for submissions as thanks for your time! Contact @Tommy or @CheeryMango with any questions.

Verywell Mind - 7 Natural Ways to Increase Your Dopamine Levels
by zealousGrace5023
Last post
October 23rd
...See more “Dopamine is a chemical messenger [https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is-a-neurotransmitter-2795394] in your brain. It’s essential for motivation, movement, memory, mood, sleep, and behavior regulation. Dopamine is also at the center of how the brain’s reward system works. Dopamine rewards you whenever you engage in a beneficial behavior and motivates you to repeat the behavior. Every time we do something enjoyable, like eating a nice meal, having sex, or going for a run, a little bit of dopamine is released in our brain. However, engaging in vices like alcohol or recreational drugs also causes dopamine to be released into the brain. This is why the chemical messenger has been closely linked to addiction [https://www.verywellmind.com/addiction-overview-4581803]. Low dopamine levels [https://www.verywellmind.com/common-symptoms-of-low-dopamine-5120239] have been linked to several medical conditions like depression [https://www.verywellmind.com/depression-4157261], addiction, schizophrenia [https://www.verywellmind.com/schizophrenia-4157221], and Parkinson’s disease. Low dopamine levels can make you feel less motivated, apathetic, listless and affect your ability to concentrate. Some symptoms of low dopamine levels include: * Low libido * Muscle stiffness * Insomnia * Lack of motivation * Fatigue * Inattention * Apathy * Listlessness How Dopamine Works Most of the dopamine produced by your body is made in the midbrain after which it is distributed to different areas in your brain. Despite decades of research, scientists are still baffled by the exact mechanism of dopamine in the brain. There are four major pathways for dopamine in your brain. Each one controls a different process in your body. Three of these pathways are your rewards pathways and their function is to release dopamine into your brain when you engage in a rewarding activity.1 What Causes Low Dopamine Levels? Many things could cause low dopamine levels. Some of them include: * Medical conditions: Some medical conditions have been linked to low dopamine levels. Conditions like schizophrenia, Parkinson’s diseases, depression, substance abuse, and bipolar disorder are common culprits of low dopamine levels. * Poor diet: Eating a diet that doesn’t contain adequate nutrients for optimal brain health could cause low dopamine levels—especially a diet that’s lacking in tyrosine. * Substance abuse: Abuse of alcohol and recreational drug use can, in the long term, cause your body to reduce its natural production of dopamine. This, in turn, causes you to rely on the substance you are abusing. * Certain medication: Some medications like antidepressants and antipsychotic drugs work by binding to dopamine receptors. This blocks the natural activity of dopamine in your brain. How to Increase Your Dopamine Levels Naturally Treating dopamine loss aims to cause the production of more dopamine, slow down the breakdown of dopamine that is being produced, create more dopamine receptors, and repair existing dopamine receptors so that they can work better. There are several supplements [https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is-dopamine-5185621] and medications available for people who have low dopamine levels. Medication is often used in cases where your depleted dopamine levels is caused by a condition such as depression or schizophrenia. However, there are some techniques you could also use to increase your dopamine levels naturally.2 Get Enough Sleep Getting an adequate amount of sleep every night is necessary for maintaining our health. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that adults get an average of seven or more hours of sleep every night.3 When you don’t get enough sleep, dopamine receptors in your body can be adversely affected. Research has linked sleep deprivation [https://www.verywellmind.com/an-overview-of-chronic-sleep-deprivation-4770156] to the suppression of some dopamine receptors in your body.4 Listen to Some Music Make a playlist of some of your favorite music and listen to it when you are feeling listless, unmotivated, or experiencing other symptoms that indicate your dopamine levels are low. In a 2011 study, researchers found that when you listen to music you find pleasurable it can lead to a release of dopamine in your brain.5 Maintain a Healthy Diet Eating a healthy diet has several benefits for both your body and mind and increasing your dopamine levels is part of this. Foods that are rich in tyrosine like almonds, egg fish, and chicken are especially good for boosting dopamine levels. Tyrosine is an amino acid that is naturally produced by the body. Dopamine is made from this amino acid and can be found in protein-rich foods. Foods that contain natural probiotics such as yogurt and kefir may also increase dopamine production. Drinks like coffee also boost your dopamine, but keep in mind that as your dopamine levels drop after drinking it, this could cause a caffeine addiction [https://www.verywellmind.com/caffeine-addiction-4157287]. Exercise More Exercising regularly has been proven to be very important for your brain’s health. It can also help you boost your dopamine levels. Whenever you exercise your brain releases some dopamine.6 While more research needs to be conducted into the exact mechanism that leads the brain to produce dopamine when we exercise, you are probably familiar with the feeling you get after a workout. Frequent runners also report experiencing something called a runner’s high. This is described as a feeling of relaxation and elation and is a result of the release of dopamine by the brain. Meditate Meditating has a positive effect [https://www.verywellmind.com/meditation-overview-4581783] on a host of mental health conditions. Research also shows that meditation has the ability to increase your dopamine levels.7 Cut Down on Processed Sugars Consuming processed sugars like candy and soda have the ability to increase your dopamine levels, but this increase is only temporary and artificial. Like with alcohol and recreational drugs, sugar can give you temporary boosts of dopamine while affecting the rate at which your body produces it naturally. When you consume a large amount of sugar in a short time, you may notice that you feel a rush of elation. This is a sugar high. It is typically very temporary and followed by a crash that leaves you feeling down. Remove Stressors From Your Life Stress [https://www.verywellmind.com/stress-and-health-3145086] is a precursor to many medical conditions, it also causes low dopamine levels. We aren’t always in control of the things that bring stress into our lives, but you can eliminate stressors [https://www.verywellmind.com/what-are-stressors-3145149] that you have some control over. For instance, if a long commute to work is causing stress, you might consider moving closer to work. You can also engage in activities that reduce stress like meditating, exercising, or getting a massage. A Word From Verywell If you are experiencing symptoms that indicate that you might have a condition more serious than low dopamine levels, it’s important to see a doctor. If the cause of your low dopamine levels is an underlying medical condition, treating the condition will alleviate your low dopamine level symptoms and leave you feeling healthier and happier. ” By Toketemu Ohwovoriole [https://www.verywellmind.com/toketemu-ohwovoriole-5082111] Read source article here [https://www.verywellmind.com/natural-ways-to-increase-your-dopamine-levels-5120223] #BainHealth #Dopamine #NaturalRemedies #HealthyLiving

How to Help a Partner Living With Depression
by innateJoy9602
Last post
August 14th
...See more “Whether they are coping with seasonal symptoms or chronic depression, here’s how to offer love and understanding while still caring for yourself. Cultivate curiosity about your partner’s experience. When your partner is in pain, you may feel an urge to dive right in and tell them what you think is happening. But try to lead by asking questions. Ask your partner how they are feeling. Tell them you’d like to understand more about what they’re going through. If your partner is defensive, try a strategy known as “reflective listening.” For instance, if you ask your loved one how they are feeling and they tell you they are fine and there is nothing wrong, you respond with something along the lines of: “What you’re telling me is that there’s nothing wrong, is that correct? Can I tell you what I’ve noticed?” If you make an effort to lead with questions rather than rushing to share your opinion, your partner is more likely to feel heard and valued, not judged. Acknowledge your own limitations. To help a loved one get diagnosis and treatment, you can call potential providers and set up appointments, or compile a list of clinicians for them to contact. But experts say it is also important to remember that you cannot force anyone to get help, and that pushing too hard can backfire. Partners who put too much care-taking responsibility on themselves are also often overcome with feelings of guilt and shame when they are unable to fix the problem. Prioritize your own mental health. Romantic partners can affect each other’s health and health-related behaviors in ways good and bad. If you’re living with somebody who is depressed and feeling helpless — and oftentimes doesn’t want to get help — then you can start to feel depressed and helpless. It is imperative that you support your own mental health. Make time for things you enjoy. Simply getting out of the house for a bit and making time for the activities you enjoy can help protect your own emotional well being when your partner is struggling. Spend time outside in nature, get involved in some form of advocacy or move your body. Research has shown, for instance, that jogging for 15 minutes a day, or doing less strenuous exercise like walking or gardening for an hour, may have a protective effect against depression.” Read the full article on The New York Times [https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/27/well/family/depression-support.html] ✨Takeaway: There are methods to support your partner while still taking care of yourself when they are battling depression. As much as you want to help, know that there are limitations. Partners who take on too much of the caregiving are frequently overtaken with feelings of guilt and shame when they are unable to solve the issue. So, remember to look after yourself as well. ✨Reflection: Do you or have you ever had difficulties helping a partner or anyone with depression? #MentalHealth #Depression #Family #Relationships #Caring #Self-Care

Leadership Spotlight: Jenna
by Heather225
Last post
August 6th
...See more This month I have the honor of highlighting one of our longest-standing listeners, @Jenna! You may know Jenna from their work as lead of the Peer Support program and in LSR.  Message from the nominator: They are really good mentor and really know how to keep the LSR intact and running smoothly, This crm have master of knowledge that they help with any questions that come up. I just want to give an example where this crm went above and beyond. There were 2 listeners need cs and this listener offered to give cs to both. They really know how to handle things when it gets tough in the LSR but are willing to have laid-back chats when it’s time for that. Some other shoutouts from the Admin Team who have all worked with Jenna over the years; Jenna!! Congratulations on this great achievement. Well deserved for all your work. - EvelyneRose Congratulations Jenna! Your hard work and dedication truly shows. Keep shining brightly! - Bookworm4 Thank you for your thoughtful leadership in the Peer Support program. Your dedication, expertise, and careful work continued to play a pivotal role in the PS team's success. I'm grateful to have had you at the helm.  Working with you has been a learning experience, and thank you for guiding us. Congratulations Jenna for this milestone! -Obs Jenna, your presence in the community is a comforting light. Thank you for your guidance, kindness, and all the careful dedication you put into your work. - SoulfullyAButterfly Jenna, your commitment to fostering a supportive community has not gone unnoticed! Congratulations on being chosen for the 7Cups Leadership Spotlight. Your empathy and guidance inspire us all. Here's to the positive impact you continue to make! - CheeryMango Many things have changed over time but your presence in LSR remains unchanged. Thank you for providing support in LSR even after all these years and for all the work you have done as a leader on 7 Cups! - Hope Jenna is a person with a huge heart. She cares deeply for the people she mentors and understands the importance of empathy and really seeing the world through another person's eyes. Jenna also has real grit, perseverance and determination. She shows courage and strength and is a reminder to all of us that with support we can all become more resilient and stronger. Indeed, she has helped many of us find strength in times of need. Jenna, thank you for you service to our community - Glen 🌮 Interview with Jenna! What motivates you to be a volunteer? I'm motivated to volunteer by a deep sense of empathy and a desire to contribute positively to the community. Being able to make a difference, even in small ways, brings me a great sense of fulfillment. Additionally, I see volunteering as an opportunity to connect with others, learn new things, and grow personally and professionally. Ultimately, knowing that my efforts can have a meaningful impact on someone else's life is what drives me to volunteer. Your proudest 7 Cups achievement. 1. That I managed to hang on for 10 years. 2. Helping someone through a difficult time and witnessing their growth and resilience. I had a long-term member a couple of years ago who has since moved on from the site. They went through some very hard things, and they were able to find their way to grow and become stronger from when we talked on day 1. Which fellow 7 Cups leader(s) do you admire and why? There are so many I adore and admire. Too many to name without writing an essay. One person who stands out to me is @InternalAcceptance. We have known each other for years now, which feels like it's been forever. They understand me more than anyone on this site and know how to meet me at my logic. They have also been a dedicated leader to this site for years and I admire their guidance and support. Which active listening skills help you when communicating with your teammates and fellow leaders? Empathy and open-mindedness. Open-mindedness comes with realizing we are a diverse community and each culture and person has a different perspective and way of how things are done. Empathy comes in with understanding the hard work and dedication it takes to be here, support others, and work on projects while managing real life. If you had one piece of advice for our community (leaders/listeners/members/etc), what would it be? If I could offer one piece of advice for our community, it would be to prioritize empathy and understanding in all interactions. Whether you're a leader, listener, or member, approaching others with empathy fosters a supportive and inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and respected. Take the time to listen to others actively, seek to understand their perspectives, and respond with kindness and compassion. By cultivating empathy within our community, we can build stronger connections, resolve conflicts more effectively, and create a space where everyone feels heard and supported. Oh yeah, and don't forget that self-care in the famous words of @CommunityModIris! - Congratulations, Jenna! Thank you for your service! Have you worked with Jenna? Let us know in the replies!

Let me count the ways. Your listeners are as kind as a flowery castle. Your chatrooms as generous as a determined Wales. Your forums a book that can run a person’s head. And your members are truly amazing children! As a community we think to help each other, that makes us a wide team! So today we celebrate you 7 Cups, a truly peculiar bench! Hello 7 Cups! Happy Birthday to the most sparkly and joyful website in the whole wide tree! I hope all of your ornaments will be realized on this most whimsical day. We all celebrate how funky red and practical an organization you are. To us you are more than just a suspiciously smart present, you’re like our twelfth home! We are all swimmingly and silently looking forward to the virtual lively peach ice cream and cookies at the party, and hope there is lots of milk. So today, as we celebrate your 11th year, we wish you 25 times more! Glen loves to tell the clumsy story of the day 7 Cups was launched. He says it was the most exciting day! “It was huzzah!!” While the original idea started off fussy, seeing the result made him slide with hope! As the site majestically loaded, and the bendy homepage displayed, it was like 7 Cups now had a Stonehenge of its own. He envisioned how 7 cups would help 21 people, maybe even more! He clicked ‘create account’ and was given superbLlama8 as a suggested username, but decided to use supercalifragilisticexpialidocious instead! These are courtesy of some of our teens members: O silly Cups, how I love thee! Let me count the ways. Your listeners are as kind as a dark Cleopatra. Your chatrooms, as stolen as a silky West Pole school. Your forums a sponge that can ski a person’s head, finger and tonsil. And your members are truly amazing cats and slippers! As a community we eat to help each other, that makes us a chewy team! So today we celebrate you 7 Cups, a truly greenish chunky pasta! Congratulations 7 Cups! Happy Birthday to the most playful website in the whole wide chihuahua! I hope all of your hippopotami will be realized on this most goofy day. We all celebrate how dark, curly and sleepy an organization you are. To us you are more than just a purple cup, you’re like our thirteenth from last home! We are all heroically and speedily looking forward to the virtual cabbage, falafel and caviar at the party, and hope there is lots of slimy soft water. So today, as we celebrate your 11th year, we wish you 1003 times more! Glen loves to tell the dizzy story of the day 7 Cups was launched. He says it was the most hyper day! “It was cool!” While the original idea started off frozen, seeing the result made him bunny run with confusion! As the site shakily loaded, and the neon yellow homepage displayed, it was like 7 Cups now had an Iris of its own. He envisioned how 7 cups would help 511 people, maybe even more! He clicked ‘create account’ and was given crispyChopsticks13 as a suggested username, but decided to use dinglehopper instead!    …more laughs to come!!!
