Updated Version: Member Compassion Course
by ASilentObserver
Last post
 February 12th
...See more Hi everyone, I hope you are doing well. This post is about - the 7 Cups Compassion Course [https://www.7cups.com/forum/welcome/Resourcesat7CupstoHelpYou_1275/ReIntroducingMemberCompassionCourse_252883/] which we reintroduced in 2021.  The goal of this course is to understand and know the basics of practicing compassion and help & support our members to have a compassionate experience in the community. This course allows you to foster healthy conversations and connections as well as be a compassionate, loving, supportive, and amazing member of the group support chats [https://www.7cups.com/connect/groupChatrooms.php] and the community. Based on the feedback we received, we made some changes and improvements to make the course a bit more comprehensive as well as covering different topics like compassion, self-compassion, universal compassion, benefits, and challenges, etc to foster a better understanding and practice of compassion in our daily lives.  Who can participate? Any member can take this quiz. Even if you are an experienced member, give it an attempt. Because we are all learning and practicing compassion. How can a member participate? * Once you have completed the course, please let us know in the comments of this post. * Also, tag any 3 members you know to invite them to take the quiz as well. If you do not know anyone, that is okay. * Your responses to the course will be auto-graded and if you successfully pass it, you will receive a “Compassion Hero” badge. * If you didn’t pass, that’s okay. Feedback will be shared and then you can retake the course. Why should you give it an attempt? Because it presents an opportunity to take a moment to self-reflect and assess self-awareness. Here is some feedback that we received on why one took this course.  * I appreciate the opportunity to take a moment and reflect on self-awareness. It’s a good exercise to be intentional and concise. Life is a daily practice, and practicing compassion never hurts. * I was nicely surprised to take this course because sadly some people need to be refreshed on how to treat others, and it's a great feeling knowing that 7cups take that extra precaution to protect all of us on our journeys. Thank you! * How engaging and thought-provoking the questions were. * I liked that the course made me stop to think about compassion and how I can be more compassionate. * I learned a few ways that I could be more compassionate. I'm not the best at reaching out.  * The course helped me understand more about compassion and gave me questions that got me to think. >> Take the Compassion Course and share your score in the comments. Let's celebrate our commitment to kindness together. 💖 [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScMEXP6lopKu4ZJAtmctmwk0vq9Fp7T892gWJteqmQoIJa_Dg/viewform]<< (Text is hyperlinked, click it to start the quiz)

Calling All Verified Listeners: Help Wanted on the 7 Cups Welcome Committee!
by Heather225
Last post
 January 23rd
...See more The hardest part of the journey is sometimes the beginning, and this is especially true of our newbies. We as a community have the power and ability to ensure they get properly oriented and supported so that their journey is smooth. I have been actively contacting newbies over the past couple of months and the results have been inspiring. Roughly 80% of those I sent a personal message responded to me and very appreciatively! That's a really big deal because those people have a much higher chance of being retained (retained = staying on 7 Cups). But I need help! So it's with great excitement, that I announce the revamped relaunch of the Welcome Committee! Through this initiative, we can meet our newcomers at the start with a friendly welcome (think hospitality, a greeter, etc.). We will also provide guidance and resources they need to navigate their first steps. The tasks are simple. PMing brand new members off a list, saying hi, giving resources, answering their questions and sending follow-up PMs to make sure their transition is complete. There's a few requirements to be qualify to be a Welcomer: Requirements: ✅  You must be a Verified Listener (find out how to get verified here) [https://www.7cups.com/forum/listenerjourney/ListenerVerificationProject_1839/GetVerifiedon7Cups_290064/] ✅  No behavior reports (BPS) within 3 months ✅  Comfortable PMing ✅  Google Sheets skills – Basic knowledge of managing data in Google Sheets is necessary. Note: The team uses spreadsheets to copy/paste names and log PMs so you'll need access to a computer/laptop device. This work can't be done via phone. We apologize for the inconvenience! ✅  Maintenance criteria: 2-3 hours a month to dedicate to this project The monthly quota: Adults: Welcome 30 members (60 messages sent including first PM & followup) Teens: Welcome 15 members (30 messages sent including first PM & followup) You can make a huge difference in our community's growth by joining us. I look forward to building this team with you! >>> Apply here!

I cheated

 September 19th, 2024
...See more I know some of you may call me an *** for cheating and I know that already and also English is not my first language. I cheated on my gf for seven months I don't know why I did it. I feel so lost and confused rn because I'm not a *** or anything of the sorts. This is my first time doing something like this and it's taking a toll on me. I'm having difficulty getting past this because of how guilty I'm feeling. I want to apologize to my gf and the person I cheated with but I don't know how to talk to them. I regret everything and I knew what I was doing was wrong but I didn't know what to do. I'm just so lost right now and I need some advice.

...See more Hi I just joined and I am attempting to figure this site out. I will download the app. How do I get to talk to a listener. Both my regular councillor and my therapist are on holiday. And I have been needing support. Also the goals I set don't really match my issues. But my issues were not on the list.

I’m a listener on 7 cups!

...See more Hello! I’m lovleystardust! Im a listener on 7 cups! I have always enjoyed listening to others stories. I have always been very sympathetic towards others, and can understand someone’s perspective very easily (even if I haven’t personally experienced it) I am open on the weekends, and vary during the week. I will accept most issues but I will not take any LGBTQ+ problems. It will be best for the venter and myself. I’m not apart of the LGBTQ+ community, so I wouldn’t be much help. Thanks for reading 😊

...See more I am stressed about college and I have never felt so afraid for my future like this before, I’m 23( ik many will see me too young to be stressed) but I’m applying for a program that I might get in and my family is looking up to me but I feel like I failed them, I wasted 4 years of my life not knowing what to do with my life and now I feel like if I start I will get my bachelor’s degree by the age of 27 and then work for couple of years before applying to med school which will take another 6 years so all in all, I’ll start working and focusing on my life when im in my 40s. I feel so stressed and depressed I can’t eat, sleep, and I am in the verge of crying 24/7. What do I do?  Ps: my family loves me and they aren’t pressured me it’s just me who wants to make them proud
