Cupsgiving 2024 - 3 Good Things of the Day
Hello everyone,
To celebrate Cupsgiving with you, here in the trauma support community, I want to invite you today to do an exercise with me around the topic of “Thankful Hearts”.
Too often, we tend to focus on everything that is an issue and not good at the moment as this is what we’re working on. This can lead to us feeling like everything in our world is going wrong and that there’s nothing good left in it. The following exercise can help to shift our view to actually see all the good in our life. Maybe it’s small things like a warm coffee, some sunlight, or just surviving, but sometimes we realise that there are also big good things in our life like meeting a friend, getting a kind message or being able to go on a walk.
To do this exercise, write down 3 good things about that day everyday. Maybe make a list with all the days of the month and add the 3 good things to it every day. Or use some kind of app - there are so many free journaling and gratitude apps out there, you’ll definitely find one that fits your needs. And then, observe how you recognise more and more positive things in your days. And it’s also okay when it’s hard to find the good things sometimes. Just celebrate when you can find them and write them down.
So, let’s start this exercise today: What are your 3 good things of today?
I hope you have an amazing day.
Take care,
audienta

@audienta three good things today
1) I'm getting closer to getting out of hospital everyday😁
2) I vented in the disability forum yesterday, and received so much kindness ❤
3) itssss almost xmasssssssss😁😁😁
Hugs audienta ❤ hope your doing ok ❤
@Tinywhisper11
I'm so happy you're getting closer to getting out of hospital, that's amazing! I'm also glad to hear that you were able to vent and receive a lot of kindness. What are your plans for Christmas?
@audienta I'm home 😁 I came home a few days ago 😁😁😁 my xmas plans, well I've finally started decorating 😁❤ I live in a old folks nursing home, I know I'm only 24 but that's another story, anyways there's only 12 residents including me. They all go home for xmas and new years with their kids or grandkids ❤ so it's just me here 🙂 so I buy myself toys and activities to do on xmas day 😁😁 so my plan is to have fun 😁❤ hope you have nice Xmas plans too? ❤
@Tinywhisper11
Yay, I'm so happy for you that you're home!
I totally get it. I've been in a nursing home for old people as well in the past and am technically still in one, just with younger people (who are still older than me though, I'm also in my twenties too). It can be really isolating so I'm glad that you have great plans and hope that the fun will outweigh the negatives. I will probably have visitors on Christmas Eve but otherwise I don't have any plans so far. I'll probably have to rest, if I'm being realistic.
@audienta so I'm not the only one who lives in a carehome! Yaaay! I'm sorry you have to live there too, but I've not met anyone else here who has been put in this situation.❤ I'm glad you have visitors on xmas eve🙂 a relaxing xmas day is great to, get some snacks in and watch xmas movies ❤❤ merry Christmas sweetie ❤
@audienta
I got help for my husband
I've been able to go visit him daily
I am going to get help with him now
@WorkingitThrough2
Hey there,
I'm so happy to hear that! You've been fighting for that for so long and I'm glad that you're finally getting help. I hope this also gives you more time to care for yourself, you totally deserve that. 💜
@audienta
Thanks but he had to be rushed back to the hospital and is still there. Unknown what is causing him to lose so much bl.....d.
@WorkingitThrough2 they still don't know🙁🙁🙁 I've been keeping you both in my prayers ❤ I'm just a message away if you ever need to talk ❤
@Tinywhisper11
Tiny, I think my husband's doctors are from another planet. Now they are trying to say it is Myothenisis Gravis. With my medical school training know how far-fetched this diagnosis is. That condition does not have lost of bl....od, associated nowhere. How are they coming up with this crap?
They are unable to keep his blood pressure up.??????
@WorkingitThrough2 🙁 I think the doctors are trying to grasp at straws there🙁 I'm sorry sweetie 🙁 your both in my thoughts and prayers ❤ I really hope everything will be sorted out by xmas ❤
1) i signed up to 7Cups today (i just discovered it yesterday)
2) i have a very sick cat (with cancer) and she is doing great today and asymptomatic
3) mentally, i've been ok for the past few days, i had a few couple rough days from things outside my control, but before that i had a few really good days, best i've felt in months, and i feel pretty decent again, and i'm really thankful for that. it's been really rough since july
@SummerOfCA hi I'm Lola ❤ welcome to our cups family ❤ I'm so sorry about your cat😥 let's pray you have many more great days ❤❤ gives you a giant tiny hug ❤
@Tinywhisper11
Hey Tiny, I hope all is well with you. I am still running back and forth to the hospital with my husband. They found what may be the problem yesterday, so I am hoping they can fix it this time.
How is the hand? thanks for your prayers. Love you, lady, I am still waiting for our play date❤️😂painted pink just for you.
@WorkingitThrough2 you remembered about our play date, in your shed painted pink😁❤❤ that would be so nice ❤
That's great news, fingers crossed they know what is wrong, and can easily fix it ❤ how is your husband doing in himself?? And how are you, it's heartbreaking to know how much you have been through this year🙁 hugs you tightly ❤I'm always here for you ❤
@Tinywhisper11 oh I'm doing better😁 I have the feeling back in my upper left body, just still struggling to lift my arm, but it's getting better ❤
@Tinywhisper11
Are you getting ready for our play date? in our Pink house😂😂
@WorkingitThrough2 I can't wait 😁😁😁😁❤
@SummerOfCA
I am so glad that you found 7 cups ❤️. This is a great place to have like-minded people who understand and can relate to what we are going through. I am sorry that your cat has cancer. I am glad the cat has days without symptoms. I have a 17-year-old dog who has Congestive heart failure and is up and down with this condition, so I understand.
Anyway, it is nice to meet you and I hope you find what you need here and can meet many new friends to support you.😊
@WorkingitThrough2 i'm so sorry to hear about your dog. big hugs. Thanks so much for the reply and the welcome 🥰 hope your day is awesome!
@SummerOfCA
thanks❤️😊
@WorkingitThrough2 your dog is ill🙁 adds him to my prayers too ❤
@Tinywhisper11
Yes, my dear, I took him to the doctor cause he was not breathing right, they said he has a Congestive heart and fluid in his lungs, he also has a hernia that I am afraid to let them operate on him because of his age an
d breathing issues.
@WorkingitThrough2 awwww he's soooooo cute😍😍 I'm so sorry he's ill🙁that must be heartbreaking for you😥
