The Gratitude Project: List 3 Things That You Are Grateful For...
by LisaMeighanMScGMBPsS
Last post
 Wednesday
...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!

...See more this is a watercolor I did when I was thinking this world needs a little peace. what looks like the moon or the sun is actually the flash reflecting off the glass in the frame. But I think it is a nice effect. soulsings Tutorial to post pictures (works on browser login not on app login) * Save picture file with Alpha letters only - no symbols like % $ # etc * Save picture as JPG file. If pic is other format you can open it in a photo editing program and save it as JPG or jpeg that ends in .jpg * The picture adding tool is in the tool bar above the post you are doing in a rectangle with trees in it. It is located to the left of the link icon just right of middle of the page. Click on that. * You get two options upload from your device by clicking on Choose Files or give web address. I find the most reliable way is to upload from my device clicking on Choose Files * Many websites that host pictures do not work maybe because they do not store them as JPG files. * It is always interesting to know a little bit about the pic so type in some text. * Remember to click on Update Post when finished. Someone asked me to see if the app worked with posting a pic. My first attempt did not work with the app did not post pic nor did the 2nd attempt. I logged out of the 7 cups app and I logged in to 7cups on phone in a browser on phone (or computer) and it works fine. Sorry for you app only users. If anyone else can post a pic with the app, please let me know what your method is by message at is. www.7cups.com/@soulsings [http://www.7cups.com/@soulsings]

...See more hi, everyone. here's a little song that I wrote to remind me that there's still a small light, even in the darkest shadows. **Embrace the Light** In the shadows of doubt, where darkness creeps, We often forget the moments that make our hearts leap. The sun still rises, painting the sky with hues, And laughter dances in the air, chasing away the blues. Remember the warmth of a genuine smile, The comfort of a friend who stays awhile. The taste of your favorite meal, a simple delight, Or the way music weaves magic through the night. Life isn't just storms; it's also gentle rain, The fragrance of flowers after a summer's pain. The touch of a loved one's hand, so tender, And the resilience that keeps your spirit unbowed, unrendered. So when the weight of the world threatens to pull you low, Pause, breathe, and let the positives gently flow. They're like hidden gems waiting to be found, Moments of joy, scattered across life's sacred ground. You're not alone; we all stumble and sway, But in the dance of existence, there's still a way. Hold onto those bright sparks, let them ignite, And remember, my friend, you're capable of flight. Your smile is a beacon, a star in the night, A testament to resilience, burning ever bright. So embrace the light, even when shadows play, For within you, there's a universe of hope each day.

...See more A Gruesome Night A dark night with Murky sky, Loneliness spread all around, As I lie down on bed, Confused, anxious and depressed, Tears trickle from my eyes, I think about the past, Unraveling deep burrowed memories, Some a nice one and many a gloomy one, How certain moments in life, Floods fear inside me, Hands trembling, an irritated restless mind, All because of indecisive actions, And incurable complexes and disorders, My mind's bleeding all inside, Unable to think and process, But somehow thriving miserably, Even if this all happens, There's nothing that can be done, Except for convincing myself, To bear the agony for a bit more, For even this night shall pass by, Slowly, Slowly, slowly forever, And there shall be dawn once again..... -Allen // Alankrit

...See more But Mine Has Blown Away Emily Dickinson said "Hope is the thing with feathers" well mine has blown away. It realized someone such as I can't be saved by little thing that floats and sways. But why does it leave? Where will it go? Feathers fly with the wind. so where did the wind blow? it has been battered, broken, trashed and tossed. so am I considered hopeless? Am I considered lost? Hope is the thing with feathers but mine has blown away.

...See more โ€œTheyโ€™re in pain I can see it The marks on her wrist, wrists sheโ€™s covering with long sleeves and a smile The flinch when his dad arrives, the fear of what will happen when he goes home flashing through his eyes The quietness when they gets back a test, knowing what will happen. 85% will never be good enough for their parents. The red in his eyes when he comes to class, marks of hidden tears cried alone in a bathroom. I see it Iโ€™ve been there I know how this pain feels But Iโ€™m just there Watching it slowly destroy them Wishing I could break out Wishing I could tell them that I know Wishing I could help them But Iโ€™m just there Stuck watching And I canโ€™t do anythingโ€
