Connecting to a Kind Soul
One of the amazing steps you can take for yourself is to log on to your member account (if you are not already), browse listeners, and message one!
Seriously, it is one of the most positive things you can do for yourself. 7cups has been a kind of environment which inspires the presence of lot many kind and compassionate souls at one place, and it would be worthwhile to regularly look out and reach out to one of them. [It might take a few tries, but you never know which day you might get lucky and meet a beautiful soul as your listener!]
You will know that you’ve found a good listener because of how you feel when you talk to them. If you feel understood, validated, encouraged and strengthened by them, then you have just been loved.
It can feel a little scary the first time. Leaning on others and asking for help is a skill just like any other skill. The more you do it, the easier it becomes. Before you know it, it’ll feel quite natural opening up to another person. And, you know what? You’ll feel a world better.
