The Gratitude Project: List 3 Things That You Are Grateful For...
by LisaMeighanMScGMBPsS
Last post
 January 21st
...See more Hi there, Today we will learn a little more about gratitude and learn how to express this. Studies have shown that if you practice daily gratitude practice, it can make you feel happier and improve your health. What is Gratitude? Gratitude is the expression of appreciation for what one already has and not ones future desires or hopes. It is generated from within. This social emotion strengthens relationships, and its roots run deep in evolutionary history, and it stems from the survival value of helping others and being helped in return. Studies show that specific areas of the brain are involved in experiencing and expressing gratitude. Brain scans of people assigned a task that stimulates gratitude show lasting changes in the prefrontal cortex that heighten sensitivity to future experiences of gratitude, thus feeling happier and healthier. Please list 3 things that you are grateful for and share daily if you feel comfortable to do so!

Day 1: 25 Days of Gratitude, Self-Care and Personal Growth for 2024!
by LisaMeighanMScGMBPsS
Last post
 December 25th, 2024
...See more Hi everyone! Happy 1st December and time goes so quickly. I'm excited to start a 25-day challenge focused on gratitude, self-care, and personal growth for 2024. Those of you may remember that we did this last year and as it was so popular it might be useful to continue. This journey is for anyone looking to nurture their mental health, cultivate positive and perhaps even new habits, and find more joy in their daily lives. Why 25 Days? * Small Steps, big impact: We'll break down larger goals into manageable daily tasks. * Habit formation: 25 days is a useful time frame to establish new habits. * Community support: We'll be here to encourage and support each other throughout the challenge. What to Expect: * Daily prompts and engaging therapeutic content: Each day, we'll share prompts related to gratitude, self-care, or personal growth. * A safe sharing space: Feel free to share your thoughts, experiences, and progress in the comments. * Community support: Let's create a positive and supportive space for everyone. Let's Get Started! We are excited that you're on this journey with us at 7 Cups! Remember: * Be kind to yourself: It's okay to miss a day or two or even five. Just pick up where you left off and all are welcome to participate! * Progress, not perfection: Focus on making small improvements each day. * Celebrate your wins: No matter how small, acknowledge your achievements. 🌻 Let's make this a month of positive change and it’s okay if you are not feeling as positive as you would like to be. We understand that sometimes no matter what you believe, the holiday season can be challenging for many reasons, we are here for you and you may find some of our prompts and content helpful.  Day 1: What is one thing you’ve done recently to take care of your mental health and well-being, and how did it make you feel?

Managing expectations towards others
by amiablePeace77
Last post
 8 minutes ago
...See more Let’s start with a brief story about expectations She was angry, very disappointed and in disbelief about what just happened!  “I’ve always supported her, stood by her side and now she goes against me in front of everyone!” “I’m stupid, nothing I do is right and they treat me like I am worthless!” “I deserve this” “I don’t know what to do, what I want. How can she leave me now?! I need her to be here and fix this situation!” The end What could have gone wrong here? What could be the problem with having expectations? Here are some things to consider * Don't assume that everyone will agree with you every time. The majority of people have their own thoughts and opinions. Expecting others to consistently agree with yours is unrealistic. * When you criticize yourself, don't expect other people to acknowledge you. If you don't treat yourself with respect, you can't expect others to respect you. * When someone is ready to leave, don't expect them to stay. Letting go can be hard but it can also be the best for everyone. * Don’t expect others to be mind readers and know what you think. It does not work. Begin by being truthful with yourself about your thoughts, feelings, and desires. After that, you can begin telling people about it. * When you are unable to solve problems for yourself, don't expect others to do it for you. There are times we simply need to reach out for professional support. Participation question: * When things do not turn out the way you hoped, do you stay calm or experience resentment? * How are you dealing with feelings of resentment? Helpful Videos: Relax... Everything is Going to be Okay! [https://youtu.be/RVzIDLcGzYw?si=Gdjq5d32I-5Fk8ia] Helpful Resources: The Psychology of Expectations [https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/cui-bono/201802/the-psychology-expectations?msockid=090361324baa6f391c9674664ae56e99] The dangers of expectations [https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/putting-psychology-into-practice/202501/the-danger-of-expectations-how-they-shape-our-lives?msockid=090361324baa6f391c9674664ae56e99] Seeking Help  Mental stress can cause us not to be able to see the good things in life and lead to excessive rumination or worries which can result in serious health problems. If you have serious, long-term problems with negative thinking and feeling depressed, see your doctor or talk to a therapist if they are related to any mental challenges.  Are you looking for a therapist? 7 Cups has online, certified therapists with a paid option.

...See more A support system refers to the network of people, relationships, and resources that provide emotional, practical, or social support to an individual. This system plays a crucial role in helping someone manage their mental health, cope with life challenges, and build resilience. A strong support system can enhance the benefits of therapy and improve long-term outcomes. Who's in your support system?

Sometimes I hate being a man
by Theother172
Last post
 3 hours ago
...See more I know women suffer a lot of horrible things, but I'm tired of some women saying that all men are abusive and violent. I was in X once, and I said something about a case that had happened in which a hospital worker abused another person. I said that the problem wasn’t that he was a man, but that he was an abuser. I also said it was a matter of lack of professionalism—I regret saying that because I think it sounded insensitive, but I didn’t mean it that way. A girl said that being a man and being an abuser are the same thing. They insulted me a bit, and now I feel guilty, and deep down, I kind of hate being a man because of this. :(
