35+ Community Check-in March 29, 2021
Happy Monday to all of you in the 35+ community 🌞

By building a “Hope” toolbox we are taking care of our emotional health and well-being and are equipped to thrive and succeed in our lives and in our world. This will allow us to encourage and support others in finding and maintaining their hope.
Here is an example of what could go into a Hope Toolbox:
🌻 Discovering Your Passion and Purpose
I would put being a listener in this box because I like to be part of a group wanting to make the world more welcoming
🌻 Setting Goals and Creating Action Steps
My goals are to increase my knowledge and understanding towards myself and others so I do self care and meditate daily.
🌻 Finding and Reaching Out to Your Hope Supporter
I found supporters here on the site for whom I'm very thankful
So, now it's your turn 
What can you put into your hope toolbox?

@amiablePeace77
What can you put into your hope toolbox?
One thing I would put in mine is the notes I have written in my journal on what I would love to see in my life. The bucket list I made for myself.
@pamharley003
I can see that having such a bucket list gives hope.
The drawings I have been given over the years.
@goodPond6231
Having drawings from different people is a lovely memory to get lost in for a while 
. What kind of drawings are they?
Sketches and landscapes.
@goodPond6231
Interesting, something I haven't thought about
So, now it's your turn What can you put into your hope toolbox?
List of short and long term goals and dreams that I have
list my writing projects (outlines of what each project needs to do)
@Rebekahwriter13
It seems you're designing your life in a thoughtful way by creating hope and motivation for the near future but also for lateron.
@amiablePeace77
I'm trying to.
Hey y'all. I'm new to 7 cups. I've got anxiety issues I'm trying to work through and I was hoping 7 cups could help. I live in Houston but work in Denver. The travel is kinda worrisome with the pandemic. Good news is I'm getting vaccinated this Saturday. I'm not really sure what else to say so I'm going to leave it at that
@KodiakDuck
Welcome to our community , it's nice to have you here. I am so very sorry you are having to live with anxiety, it can be very debilitating, particularly in this pandemic, hugs. I hope you will find the support you are looking for on this site, remember you can always connect to a listener if you like to share something more in detail or get support 24 h in the support room 24/7. You will find our anxiety support here https://www.7cups.com/home/anxiety/

Please check here for daily events on the site, like for example discussions and open chats. If you have any questions please just send me or another listener a message. We are here for you
In my hope toolbox... it's hard to say. The things I want VS the things I have? Want: 🌸 Friends and family I can lean on when I'm struggling. 🌸 A steady income from a job where I'm appreciated Have: 🍁 Good research skills. I can usually learn enough about any topic I can converse with my therapist or doctor competently.
@Tasha2319
Hi Tasha , having those skills is definitively a plus. Not having a shoulder to lean on when things are getting tight is hard . One way to connect to others here to feel more understood but also to bond can be joining a support discussion or chat. For more events, please view the Community Calendar here.
My purpose is to evolve into a better version of myself for my children to help them grow and develop into who they will be as adults.
My passion is watching life grow (I love gardening and gain energy watching the life cycle of plants)
My goal is to seek to understand a situation we are currently working through and beyond. To learn how to look at situations from a different perspective.
I'm starting to reach out to supporters, and hope to learn from them, and lean on them when I don't feel so strong. I have a therapy session on Monday that feels like the life line I need as well.
Thank you all for being here.
@raspberryOwl7155
It's understandable that as a parent you want to give your children the best support you can . Nice you decided to reach out for support for yourself too!
Thank you.
@raspberryOwl7155
You're very welcome.
