3 Key Things!

GlenM November 18th, 2019

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!

@lucy2

Many thanks my friend! heart I have a busy irl as well but I try to come here in what I just call my "non-stuctured time". I try to use effective time management techniques, plan your work and work your plan to make sure everyone and everything is taken care of in my little world.

But..........this place is really important to me too! smiley It's important for me to try to carve out time and show up because this place is a loved part of my little world as well. I believe in the 7 cups values, trainings, mission statements. I believe in what 7 cups tells me that they want us all here, but only if we are truly signing in being able to try to bring our absolute personal best when signed into the listener role.

I guess something that helps me on this site is to help in different areas to keep up the energy level. So many different areas to help, many different areas to learn, and each little thing of course requires the same love and care, but, a different time commitment for the different tasks. Even the trainings. If I want to contribute to the 3 key things but feeling as if I would enjoy some "independent" work at the moment, then I focus on that in an effort to still move 7 cups forward.

I love self care! I think this too helps to keep up the energy level and try to only show up if I think I can be the very same person that I was yesterday and the day before. Many times I read my own profile page when signing on. Sounds weird, I know. Everyone is different. I read what I wrote on that profile page. It was a commitment that I made to 7 cups and everyone here. I for one think that words have meaning. Can I do what I said I was going to do or not? I have a choice! heart I kind of feel like it was a commitment that I made to myself as well!

Self care for today: wonderful hot bath, family time, celebrating Easter and loving to see the joy on the face of ones that got a great Easter Basket from the Easter Bunny! Lighting a richly scented candle in just a few moments in the living room and tossing in a "tart" in the "tart burner". I get lucky today, someone else is making dinner and tossing burgers on the grill! Did dishes, did laundry, paid bills, took out the trash, planning my tasks and goals for the week ahead (helps for effective time management), lots of tying up loose ends, extraneous paper work. The dog got a bath, washing all of her little creature comforts, special blankets and dog bed. smileyyesheart Even if she can't speak the words, I know she is thankful! I'm sure I did so many other things, I just can't remember. But music is very inspirational for me as well for self care. Sometimes for self care, I put the ear buds in. I remember to dance a little, sing a little and play a little every day. Everything I ever needed to know, maybe I learned in the sand box. heart *hugs* to all heart

1- rest

2- rest

3- more rest

Today I have accepted that it is alright to rest too. It was difficult to have a surprising health scare a few days back and I am trying to take things ODAT.

Posting this in case someone needs to hear it too.
