3 Key Things!
Please post here 3 key things you have done to help move 7 Cups forward. I will be doing this on a daily basis. Feel free to do it daily, weekly, or monthly. Right now we've got thousands of people doing a lot of work on the site, but we don't have a clear way of being able to support one another. The goal of this thread is to help all of us see all the good work that is going on. Please ask any questions or share thoughts!

(Sorry for the double posting, this is my work from today, that I would usually post for the next day. Taking a short self care break and won't be listing activity on this page just for a little while. I may peek in and peek out just to respond to a forum post or two if I get the chance but no rooms or peer support chats)
@SparkyGizmo
You have been quite consistent, it is good to know when you need a break. We will be here when you are ready to return!
@Hope
Many thanks! You have no idea how much your support means to me on a daily basis! It truly is one of the things that help me to keep moving forward! Just a kind message here on this thread usually is exactly what I need to keep moving forward. You have no idea how much it means to me! 
But I understand we also have to all have a level of intrinsic motivation! I'm pretty good at that too!
I really appreciate that you see my efforts, my consistency and also recognize that sometimes well, self care is required. During my self care break, I will be thinking about some of the things that have challenged me and required me to consider going on this break. I'm pretty good about setting boundaries. For all of my efforts, I see that in a couple of instances I need to step it up. I will be doing some self reflection and before I return, I will think about boundaries and think about how I need to be a bit more firm. I will reach out in ways that I need to and make sure that I am understood before I return. I cannot dictate the feelings of others. It is what it is. I can only dictate my limits. I think this will be most healthy and mature to make sure that the pattern stops.
Big *hugs* and thank you for caring about me!
@SparkyGizmo
Such a kind and thoughtful message *hugs* I hope your break goes well
3 Key Things I did today:
1. Sitting meditation: I know it's tough for me (or some people) to do a more formal "sitting" meditation, though I do my best to dedicate about 30 minutes each day. My "newish" mantra = Where are you? Here. What time is it? Now.
2. Stretching activities: Some core exercises (e.g., planks) and/or yoga type movements to get the body ready for most challenges of the day as well.
3. Drink Water: A full glass of water sometime at the start of the day. At least I know I've had at least one
@ubuntu733
Love your mantra! I can relate to mindfullness being a little difficult, just doing nothing is quite the challenge!

- consumed father's coffee
- took biscuits right infront of father's apparence
(though i suffered major consequences)

- iherb purchase
(though i kind of regreted because i changed to something that i might not "wanted" in the first place)
3. Tried to make my mum happy by eating "non-vegan" once. anyways i'm never vegan in the first place. just a stupid mentality
@mikenai22
It is okay to share your accomplishments with the community, we don't consider it show off. We are happy to see people progress and grow. I am glad that you were able to challenge some rules however it seems like it's coming from a place of negativity towards self. Sometimes decisions are difficult to make, it is okay if you choose something you later regret, we are humans, we change our mind. It is okay if you create rules that you later no longer see as useful, rules can change. It appears that you are having some difficulty with coming to terms with your set boundaries/rules. I could be wrong but your environment is contradicting with your own rules/believes thus causing the feeling of labeling the rules as 'stupid'. Sometimes the ones closest to us are the ones who tend to disagree with our views and that is okay, you don't have to change who you are.
Please know we are here for you! If you would like some support, we have listeners available round the clock. Don't hesitate to reach out. Thank you for sharing!

Hello Hope, thank you for taking time to reply.

It could be my disordered mentality that "treated" or "made myself to think of it that way". Or perhaps I have instilled/self-trained this behaviour since young. Its like the inability to accept or take in compliments.
It was indeed one of the most painful hurdles to cross, and yet some sort of "EGO" that perhaps I am holding.

It is okay if you create rules that you later no longer see as useful, rules can change. It appears that you are having some difficulty with coming to terms with your set boundaries/rules.
I kept having this mentality that wants things to be fixed, 1+1=2 and no more negotiations. Its almost as if like buying a product (i.e. computer, mobile, etc.) thinking that it is the "best, perfect, effective, efficient, priced, etc." and will last for eternity. Forgoing things like... breakdown, etc...
I know there is this extreme problem of mine and many others i believe, FEAR.
Which I dont want to deal with also, hence fearing of others judgement, needing to follow up actions, corrections, etc.. Hence, its so... tough to really put my mind to something and take a leap of faith.

Well i certainly not going to deny. Unfortunately, i dont have the luxary of choice.
Yet there is this saying "if something dont work for you, if there is something that you dont like, MOVE or Do Something about it, you are not a tree." - Hiaz... Stupid Mike.

Actually. That's kinda difficult and challenging. To find a true, good, kind soul that listens and support.
Your welcome, Just wanted to let go of something in my mind.
