7 Cups Birthday Celebration - Monday Madlibs with ModIris Results
Community Projects & Events / by CommunityModIris
Last post
 July 7th
...See more We had a great time showing off our vocabulary to maximize laughter in our madlibs today, if you missed the fun don’t worry you can still share in the laughs because here are our amazing creations! Teens offered up these gems:  7 Cups 13th Birthday:  Red Birthday, 7 Cups! It's velvety to believe it's been 13 eons and an hour and a half plus on tenth of a second already. That's 13 whole winters, springs, summers and autumns of offering care and support. From adhd , school stress, depression and anxiety, to dissociative disorders and self harm 7 cups is a very silky and inclusive space, but what 7 Cups offers goes beyond just black support. The community here on cups is a blue space full of books and cups who work together to create a helpful, caring and small atmosphere. Members can come and color, walk, swim and party about their papers, statutes, lights, balloons, coloring books and bottles with listeners or each other in our group chats. If they prefer they can also cartwheel, talk and eat about them in the forums. If they really need focused support they can also paint, dance and sing with a listener in 1-1 instead. It really is delicious! So as we celebrate 13 years, we say a collective "Yay! Wow! Yabadabadoo! Yippee!" to 7 Cups!  7 Cups of Laughter: 7 Cups is a place where cups come for support, and sometimes that support comes in the form of laughter! The laughter on 7 cups can sometimes be intentional like when we skate different chatroom games like madlibs and chess, or when DarkerPlaces started telling table jokes for over a precambrian eon. My neck was sore for a whole millisecond after that! Other times the laughter happens completely by accident. For example, remember that time CommunityModIris typed chair when they really meant to type shirt and everyone in the room started skedaddling uncontrollably?! Or when Aquaaaaa's Freesian horse ironed all over their keyboard? That was totally small! I guess it's like they say, sometimes laughter really is the best lamp!  Ode to 7 Cups: O crimson Cups, how I love thee! Let me count the ways. Your listeners are as kind as a dusty Earth. Your chatrooms as huge as a big 75th Hunger Games Arena. Your forums a watermelon that can immerse a person’s nose. And your members are truly amazing chairs! As a community we drive to help each other, that makes us a holographic blue Permian team! So today we celebrate you 7 Cups, a truly tiny colorful Statue of Liberty!  On the Day 7 Cups was Launched Glen loves to tell the vermillion story of the day 7 Cups was launched. He says it was the most shiny day! “It was Woooopieeee!” While the original idea started off fragrant, seeing the result made him yap with rapture! As the site slowly loaded, and the sublime homepage displayed, it was like 7 Cups now had a yarn pillow of its own. He envisioned how 7 cups would help 12 people, maybe even more! He clicked ‘create account’ and was given gracefulChuckNoris48 as a suggested username, but decided to use Wiggle instead!  And not to be outdone our adults offered up these fine pieces: 7 Cups 13th Birthday:  Venusian Birthday, 7 Cups! It's blue to believe it's been 13 light years already. That's 13 whole Autums of offering care and support. From anxiety, depression, and grief to wellness and LGBTQ+ issues 7 cups is a very admirable and inclusive space, but what 7 Cups offers goes beyond just happy support. The community here on cups is a large space full of dogs, cardinals, butterflies, mice, books, boxes and baskets who work together to create a helpful, caring and delicious atmosphere. Members can come and party, swim, and dance about their green beans, coconut trees, and keys with listeners or each other in our group chats. If they prefer they can also talk and eat about them in the forums. If they really need focused support they can also shame with a listener in 1-1 instead. It really is palatable! So as we celebrate 13 years, we say a collective "Great Googly Moogly! Wubba Dub Dub! What a time to be alive!" to 7 Cups!  7 Cups of Laughter: 7 Cups is a place where cats come for support, and sometimes that support comes in the form of laughter! The laughter on 7 cups can sometimes be intentional like when we plank different chatroom games like Chess and Monopoly, or when GnomedBinary started telling Elephant jokes for over a year. My nose was sore for a whole millennia of seconds after that! Other times the laughter happens completely by accident. For example, remember that time communityModAnne typed Gnome when they really meant to type cheeseburger and everyone in the room started jumping and listening uncontrollably?! Or when Fraz's butterfly cooked all over their keyboard? That was totally sus! I guess it's like they say, sometimes laughter really is the best antelope!  Ode to 7 Cups: O 5-year old Cups, how I love thee! Let me count the ways. Your listeners are as kind as a black mushroom cup. Your chatrooms as blue heart as a slimy majestic Wisharts Automotive Service Australia. Your forums a candle that can glitter a person’s hand. And your members are truly amazing stairs! As a community we act, run, eat and fear to help each other, that makes us a quiet copper team! So today we celebrate you 7 Cups, a truly massive diamond robot!  Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate with us! @Angiewaa @aquaaaaa @cheerfulKiwi1776  @chostof @DarkerPlaces @emotionalMaple2436 @fairmindedJar4926 @funnyAvocado3000 @Ishi1408  @L0nely0wl @moondew00 @peachFig5988 @quietLime8142 @redNorth7561 @Seanfu520  @Someonessomething @starsrpretty21 @Sumiti10 @SunnyT22 @theboymoana @willingPenguin9206 @AFireFlyy @AReine @Bow64 @creativeTortoise06 @Fraz @GnomedBinary @Moonlight52 @peonybabez  @pinkComputer5231 @pinkii1111 @polite2 @practicalEyes241 @RedOceanSun @Remina @saturn7639 @Serenemoonlight @SoulfullyAButterfly @trueconfidant123 @YourCaringConfidant @Yourmikasa @CommunityModAnne (honorable mention)

Iris Plants Her Roots Into Grounding
Mindfulness Center / by CommunityModIris
Last post
 April 5th, 2023
...See more As some may already know, I am very fond of grounding exercises. Here on 7 Cups when you say the words grounding exercise many will immediately think of the 5 senses or ‘5-4-3-2-1’ grounding method. Today I want to give a bit more information and options when it comes to grounding. What is Grounding? Grounding is a self-soothing technique that helps you refocus on being present in the moment using a variety of exercises to direct your focus to something other than anxious thoughts and feelings you may be experiencing. Grounding exercises can be used to cultivate distance from upsetting or distressing emotions, and can be particularly useful when you are experiencing anxiety, stress, depression, PTSD, dissociation, but are also good for improving your overall well-being and mood. Types of Grounding Techniques and Exercises There are lots of different grounding exercises available, there are three categories of grounding exercises I will touch on quickly, physical grounding, mental grounding, and soothing, or what I like to think of as emotional grounding. Physical grounding exercises focus on being aware of your senses and body. Many of the most well-known grounding exercises fall into this category and include things like the five senses grounding, breathing exercises, or even taking a walk or exercising. Mental grounding exercises instead use mental distractions to draw your thoughts and feelings away from the distressing ones. Some popular mental grounding exercises include solving a bunch of simple math problems, counting by threes (or any number that requires focus so I don’t recommend twos, fives, or tens), alphabetically listing as many objects of a category (for example colors, animals, etc) as you can, or even reciting a favorite poem or passage. Soothing grounding exercises are ones where you try to comfort yourself, they often seek to promote good feelings to help balance against the distressing ones, may help them fade, and can help you feel less overwhelmed. A few soothing grounding exercises include listening to music (put on a favorite song and listen to it like it’s that first time again, hear the words, and the melody, and focus on the emotions you feel when listening), spending time with a pet, picture a loved one, make a list of favorites or positives, and practicing self-kindness. You may find one type of grounding exercise works best for you, but each type has its benefits. Tips and Things to Remember * Start sooner, grounding exercises work best when we use them early. Don’t wait to be overwhelmed before you consider using them, if you start to feel upset you can immediately start to work on grounding as well. * Slow down, grounding exercises take time. While we often want to rush through and feel better faster, grounding exercises often require that we slow down, really focus and give them our attention. * Grounding exercises don’t always make you feel better. Grounding exercises can help us refocus and feel better, but sometimes they just help us to cope and not feel worse instead, which is still beneficial. * Grounding exercises require practice. Like any skill, self-soothing with grounding exercises is something we can practice and get better at, learning not only what types work for us, but seeing the early signs when we should start using them, and understanding what makes them effective for us. * Not every grounding exercise will work for everyone or in every situation. Exploring different types and methods can help you find the ones that work best for you, but remember that when trying a new method it may take time to feel any benefit. * You don’t have to pick just one. You may find that looking at some of the examples I’ve given you already often use more than one type of grounding exercise at the same time, although I wouldn’t try to do 5 senses grounding while also counting by threes. * Grounding is something you can do by yourself or with others. It can be good to learn to use grounding exercises on our own, but having support and encouragement when trying a grounding exercise can help us to stick with it. Looking for more ideas or information?: https://www.healthline.com/health/grounding-techniques#when-to-use https://www.verywellmind.com/grounding-techniques-for-ptsd-2797300 https://www.psychologytoday.com/ca/blog/click-here-for-happiness/202208/what-are-grounding-techniques Now I want to hear from you! * What are some grounding exercises you have tried? * What is your favorite grounding exercise, if any? * What do you find helps when you are trying a grounding exercise? Please feel free to share your thoughts and experiences, including what has and hasn’t worked for you!
