Bio

❤️WELCOME TO MY BIO ❤️
Please read through my profile before requesting me for a session. Thank you!

Green - I’m online, and ready to chat! 💚🍀


Orange - I’m busy at the moment, but feel free to pop in whenever. I’ll get to you as soon as I can. 💛🍊


Red - I'm currently offline, and unavailable to chat. 12+ hours wait time. ❤️🌹

**Chats last about 30-45 minutes**

about me: 



I'm 15 years old, sophomore year. My favorite color is blue. I love animals, especially a margay (if you don't know what that is, finish reading the bio to see at the end!!) I enjoy helping people feel better about themselves and their situations. I love being apart of the 7cups community. My hobbies are drawing, singing, listening to music, and just hanging out with friends or meeting new people.



Quotes For You: 


" Not everything is supposed to become something beautiful and long-lasting. Sometimes people come into your life to show you what is right and what is wrong, to show you who you can be, to teach you to love yourself, to make you feel better for a little while, or to just be someone to walk with at night and spill your life to. Not everyone is going to stay forever, and we still have to keep on going and thank them for what they've given us." 


" Life has taught me that you can't control someone's loyalty. No matter how good you are to them, doesn't mean they will treat you the same. No matter how much they mean to you, doesn't mean that they will value you the same. Sometimes the people you love the most, turn out to be the people you can trust the least." 


" In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure. "


" You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start from where you are and change the ending. " 


" If you get tired, LEARN TO REST not to quit! 



SOMETHING I LIVE BY: 


" I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're doing something. So that's my wish... Don't freeze, don't stop, don't worry that it isn't good enough, or it isn't perfect, whatever it is, it's art, or love, or work, or family, or life. Whatever it is you're scared of doing, do it. Make your mistakes, next year and forever " 



This is a safe place for you to be able to share whatever you’d like. I want you to know that you are not alone. I know that reaching out can be scary. You’re a brave person for doing so, and I’m so proud of you!


You are amazing. Please keep in mind that you will forever be enough, you matter, you are important, you are rare, and deserve respect, happiness, love, and everything beautiful in life. 



Repeat to yourself


**You alone are enough, and you have nothing to prove to anybody. I am somebody. I am me. I like being me. And I need nobody to make me somebody. I am who I am. Not who you think I am. Not who you want me to be. I am me. The real difficulty in self love is combating the inner critic who goes against our own wishes by challenging our own beliefs. You know you’re worthy of love, but the critic keeps reminding you of the past pain that you can’t let go of.**

Self-Esteem
Self-Esteem / by LynKay
Last post

...See more SELF-ESTEEM ❤️ - Self - Image and Self - Esteem are important components of a person's mental health. They're similar, but aren't the same and both can influence the other. - Self- Image is what you think that other people think of you, and how you want other people to think of you. Self - Esteem is what you think of yourself. Now... you may be wondering, how does the 2 work together? What should you do if they don't align? Or if they're too low? or too high? What is Self-Esteem ? * Self-Esteem is our internal view of ourselves. It begins to develop in early childhood, and forming healthy self-esteem is a protective element for long-term mental health much in the same way a healthy immune system in long-term physical health. When negative or uncomfortable situations arise, having healthy self-esteem is a layer of insulation, like a buffer, against them. It changes over your lifetime. How do we think and feel about ourselves, our self-esteem? * Your own perceptions, thoughts & feelings. * The way other people react to you. * Experiences you have at either work, school, home or just in the community overall * Illness, disability, or injury. * Your age * Role & Status in society. * Messaging from the media * Family dynamics. A person with healthy self-esteem has an accurate, balanced view of themselves. They're aware of their weaknesses or flaws, but they also appreciate their abilities. Their relationships are mostly positive, and they're open to feedback and learning A person with healthy self-esteem is: * Resilient and able to weather stress and setbacks. * Able to form and maintain secure, healthy & honest relationships. * Less likely to remain in toxic or unhealthy relationships. * Confidently assertive in expressing opinions. * Realistic in expectations. * Able to make decisions with confidence. * Less likely to be overly critical of oneself and others. Signs a person’s self-esteem might be too low include focusing on perceived faults and weaknesses, feeling that her or his opinions and ideas aren’t valuable, believing that others are smarter, better or more valuable, and being reluctant or even opposed to accepting positive feedback. Another indicator of low self-esteem is appearing to be overly confident, boasting or behaving as though others are inferior. A person with low self-esteem is: * Poor boundaries, or difficulty establishing healthy boundaries with others * A negative view of themselves * Mean, critical or even verbally abusive self-talk * A tendency to constantly apologize for things they are not responsible for, or for simply sharing their opinion * A ‘don’t rock the boat’ approach, and may follow others in what they are saying, doing or even wearing * A tough time making decisions for themselves How to improve? * Take care of yourself. Follow good health guidelines. Try to exercise at least 30 minutes a day most days of the week. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables. Limit sweets, junk food and animal fats. * Do things you enjoy. Start by making a list of things you like to do. Try to do something from that list every day. * Spend time with people who make you happy. * Use hopeful statements. Instead of thinking your presentation won't go well, try telling yourself things such as, "Even though it's tough, I can handle this situation." * Forgive yourself. Everyone makes mistakes — and mistakes aren't permanent reflections on you as a person. They're isolated moments in time. Tell yourself, "I made a mistake, but that doesn't make me a bad person." * Avoid 'should' and 'must' statements. If you find that your thoughts are full of these words, you might be putting unreasonable demands on yourself — or on others. Removing these words from your thoughts can lead to more realistic expectations. * Focus on the positive. Think about the parts of your life that work well. Consider the skills you've used to cope with challenging situations. * Consider what you've learned. If it was a negative experience, what might you do differently the next time to create a more positive outcome? * Relabel upsetting thoughts. You don't need to react negatively to negative thoughts. Instead, think of negative thoughts as signals to try new, healthy patterns. Ask yourself, "What can I think and do to make this less stressful?" * Encourage yourself. Give yourself credit for making positive changes. Reflect back, and look if you have either high or low<3 - Ty for reading btw !! <3

...See more The Impact of Smoking on healing Another good reason to quit. Smoking remains the number one cause of preventable death. Each year more than 400,00 people in the United States alone die from tobacco-related diseases. But what you may not realize is the negative impact smoking also has on the body's ability to heal. For example, non-smokers experience less pain and a higher degree of function after surgeries focusing on muscles such as rotatory cuff repairs, than smokers. ------------------------- Further evidence continues to indicate smoking's harmful effects, not only to your lungs, but also to your bones and muscles: #1 Rotatory cuff tears in smokers are nearly twice as large as those in nonsmokers #2 Fractures take longer to heal in smokers because of the harmful effects of nicotine on the production of bone-forming cells. #3 Smokers have a higher rate of complications after surgery than nonsmokers and outcomes are less satisfactory. #4 Nicotine, the most powerful substance in tobacco, causes a decrease in blood flow to all tissues in the human body resulting in poor wound healing. #5 Smoking increases your risk of developing osteoporosis - a risk factor in hip fractures. ------------------------- The American Lung Association offers this advice to help you prepare to quit: ------------------------- 1. Identify your personal reasons for quitting 2. Set a quit date, usually within 10 days to several weeks. If you smoke mostly at work, try quitting on a weekend, vise versa. 3. Identify your barriers to quitting (such as your spouse smokes or you've relapsed before due to depression or weight gain) 4. Make SPECIFIC plans AHEAD OF TIME for dealing with temptations. Identify 2 or 3 coping strategies that work for you (such as taking a walk, or calling a friend. 5. Get cooperation from family and friends. They can't quit for you but they can help by not smoking around you, providing a sympathetic ear and encouragement when you need it and leaving you alone when you need some space. ------------------------- How do I quit? Step One: -List your reasons to quit & read them several times a day. -Wrap your cigarette pack with paper and rubber bands. Each time you smoke, write down the time of day, how you feel, and how important that cigarette is to you on a scale 1 to 5. -Re-wrap the pack. Step Two: -Keep reading your list of reasons and add to it if you can. -Don't carry matches, and keep your cigarettes out of easy reach. -Each day, try to smoke fewer cigarettes, and try not to smoke the ones that aren't most important. Step Three: -continue with step 2. Set a target date to quit. -Don't buy a new pack until you finish the one you're smoking. - Change brands twice during the week, each time for a brand lower in tar and nicotine. -Try to stop for 48 hours at one time. Step Four: -Quit smoking completely. Throw out all cigarettes and matches. Hide lighters and ashtrays. -Stay busy! Go to the movies, exercise, take long walks, go bike riding. -Avoid situations and "triggers" you relate with smoking. -Find healthy substitutes for smoking. Carry sugarless gum or artificially sweetened mints. Munch carrots or celery sticks. Try doing crafts or other things with your hands. -Do deep breathing exercises when you get the urge. ------------------------- What happens after i quit? - Your senses of smell and taste come back. - Smoker's cough goes away. - You will digest normally and feel alive and full of energy - You breathe much easier, and it's easier to climb stairs. - You're free from the mess, smell and burns in your clothing. - You feel free of the "needing" cigarettes, and you'll live longer and have a less chance of heart disease, stroke, lung disease and cancer. ------------------------- What if i smoke after quitting? It's hard to stay a nonsmoker once you've had a cigarette so everything you can do to avoid that "one." The urge to smoke will pass. The first 2-5 minutes will be the toughest. If you do smoke after quitting: * This doesn't mean you're a smoker again, do something now to get back on track. * Don't punish or blame yourself * Tell yourself you're still a nonsmoker. * Think about why you smoked and decide what to do the next time if it comes up. * Sign a contract to stay a nonsmoker. ------------------------- How can I learn more? * Talk to your doctor, nurse or other healthcare professionals. If you have heart disease or have had a stroke, members of your family also may be at a higher risk. It's very important for them to make changes now to lower their risk * Call 1-800-AHA-USA1 (1-800-242-8721), or visit americanheart.org [https://americanheart.org] to learn more about heart disease. * For more information on strokes, call 1-888-4-STROKE (1-888-478-7653) or visit us online at StrokeAssociation.org [https://StrokeAssociation.org] ------------------------- The American Heart Association has many other fact sheets and educational booklets to help you make healthier choices to reduce your risk, manage diseases or care for a loved one! 😊❤️
