Cheri’s Connection Corner - What Didn’t Work Out for You REALLY Worked Out for You
Good day Cupsers!! 💕💕💕💕🙌🙌🙌🙌
There are times of stress that we struggle and need to move on from relationships, friendships, work, and situations that actually been a turning point in our lives.
It became a catalyst for good things happening in your life. As you look back you can see your own GROWTH and now you are in such a BETTER place mentally because of it.
What has happened in YOUR life that a negative situation stepping back caused you to overcome or move on to much better place and now you are all the better for it? What lessons have you learned?

@SunShineAlwaysGrateful
I'm great at these! The "gift" of anxiety is that many things turn out better than I expect. Here's a few.
Moving to work from home at the beginning of covid. It wouldn't work. I loved it. And the team really pulled together to make it work.
Moving back to the office one day a week after covid. (Yup, really!) I was soooo reluctant. But many developing mental health issues I wasn't really aware of, improved almost immediately. I'm now in the office twice a week, mostly for the social interaction.
Becoming a supervisor. I'd had a bad experience. I felt I failed someone. Was worried about doing something similar. I also didn't want to let go of "doing it". But I was also struggling from over work and needed some "minions". I took the plunge and embraced being a teacher and a year later, my "minions" are just the best!
Even perhaps my personal relationship. Its not the best right now. But I wouldn't have discovered 7 cups and so many things about myself, if I hadn't had those challenges.
@Clio9876 Are your minions all yellow, goggle-eyed & annoyingly cutesy?...
(Sorry, I couldn't resist)
@Clio9876
The pandemic changed so many things. I am so glad it brought so many good things your way. Better mental health being at home many felt the same. Teams pulling together is a gift. Sounds like strong bonds during the pandemic. Incredible!
I am so glad that you found 7cups! It definitely is a blessing.
Everyone needs minions. Teaching is a fabulous profession. Being a supervisor and having a team makes it work like clock work. Well done. 🙌🙌🙌🙌💕💕💕💕💕
Thank you for sharing during in bc a crisis many good things happened. The human spirit adapts and gets stronger. 😎😎😎😎
@SunShineAlwaysGrateful I think what happened to me years ago qualifies in this case I had a job that I loved all the hours I wanted it was only a short drive away and the people I worked for were mostlyliked me. Except for one of my supervisor who had it out for me from Day one. I had no idea what his problem was with me and he even tried to get me fired on several occasions . Finally had enough of his garbage and filed a complaint with corporate and they pretty much ignored me and took his side even though he had no evidence against me I ended up getting fired And then file a complaint with the State employment office and won my case by a landslide the company was told to wire me back with pay reimbursement and all Holliday days back when I went back they Tried everything to get me to quit so I finally left and bought a bottle of Jack Danials and a six pack of coke and got drunk off my butt and before I past out from the Alcohol I heard a voice tell me everything happens for a reason it was so real I sat up in bed to see who was in my apartment the next day I got a call from a woman that told me she had been trying to get ahold of me for a month and had just realized she had been calling the wrong number . I got the best paying job I ever had and found out later that the company I did work for was under investigation from the Homeland Security Department who theft of Government property and the supervisor that got me fire Ended up getting federal jail time for it and some of his buddies at corporate were also Convicted . To long of a story short that was the best job I ever had and the Voice I heard that night was 100% correct .They call me the Babbler 🤭
Sorry it was so long I have a tendency to babble sometimes .🫢
@OnlyDarkness
Wow!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌😎😎😎😎
Incredible story and love that you fought for your rights and won but your soul knew it wasn’t for you. Timing is everything too. You were meant to to win on your terms head held high.
The new opportunity came just as it was suppose to. The best was yet to come but you didn’t know it at that time. So proud of how you handled yourself. So happy you are doing so much better now.
Babble away your story is inspirational love it! 🙌🙌🙌😎😎😎😎🙌🙌🙌🙌😎😎😎😎😎🙌🙌🙌🙌😎😎😎😎
Thank you for sharing your story.
That was a great story! Thanks for sharing it!
@OnlyDarkness You should turn this into an autobiographical novella!
Getting covid 16 months ago that turned into long covid and now cancer:
- I moved out of/away from the toxic roommate situation
- I got to live with my parents again as an adult so they don't worry about me and am receiving their help
- I am learning the opposite, how sometimes "doing less" is needed in order to progress instead of doing more
- I have a regular sleep cycle now
- Most of the so-called friends who weren't really my friend stopped maintaining contact with me leaving the ones who do stay in touch more important and valuable to me to treasure
- I completely renovated my life goals, aspirations, intentions, to-do lists, and areas to focus and make/feel progress to be more
- I'm more in touch with myself, my emotions, my body, my feelings, the present
- I don't worry about the future on a grand/long term scale and am learning how to handle worry/anxiety about medical stuff I'm going through and confrontational doctors/medical staff that treat me poorly
- I have found ways to laugh when negative thoughts pop in to my head (turn them around and intentionally think the opposite! and realize I don't believe either! Neither is real, only a thought)
- Meditation and mindfulness are an automatic part of my life now
Yay, you, amazing progress!
@onwardforevenmore Hey onward, I think we have a lot of the same history but mine goes back to March of 2020I believe I had Covid and I had all the symptoms . My doctors didn’t test me for it until.October of 2020 and even their own test were plus negative so they just decided I didn’t have it and didn’t treat me for it.Now I disabled I think because of Long Covid and they again dismissed my test when they again came out no conclusive. My condition continues to worsen and now they tell me there’s nothing they can do but treat my symptoms Gee thanks Doctors . I ended up telling them I couldn’t wait for them all to be replaced by AI that way their opinions wouldn’t matter. Hope this post finds you doing better .🤗
@OnlyDarkness
Yes both stories soo much inspiration!! You both need a podcast!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌😎😎😎😎😎😎💕💕💕💕💕
@OnlyDarkness. @onwardforevermore
Sorry to hear that you both have been going through poor treatment by doctors. I have had an illness similar Long Covid for 20 years and have experienced the same.
@onwardforevenmore
Soo sorry for all that you have gone through. Health challenges always take from and center in our lives. 🤗 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Time with parents are golden. So glad you have help during this time.
During these types of crisis doing less is required as self care absolutely. Sleep 💤 is so important and being regular cycle helps you heal and recharge.
Friends that stand by you during the times you need the most are treasures.
You have learned soooo many fantastic lessons!💕💕💕💕💕🙌🙌🙌🙌
The focus, intentions and goals are so positive and in your journey helping you through this health crisis. The knowledge of how you feel and being present is such a gift 🎁! Truly perfection!! 💕💕💕🙌🙌🙌
The coping methods to handle anxiety and stress by being positive and laughter is definitely the best medicine agree! Your mindfulness and meditation great skills keeps you on track too.
You have transformed your life! Soo proud of you for finding the sweet spot of what IS truly important in life.
Soo inspirational truly!! Others can learn so much from you! 💕💕💕💕💕🙌🙌🙌🙌💕💕💕💕🙌🙌🙌💕💕💕💕
Thank you so much for sharing!
"Stepping back" was not involved in my case, but as a result of going through a horrible situation with certain relatives (& one non-related mentally unstable cretin) for quite a few years, I am in a position wherein my disabilities, while they do affect my quality of life, don't reduce it as much as they otherwise would. It cost me a lot in terms of mental & physical health, though...
The above answer might be vague but frankly, the specifics are "need-to-know" info.
@slowdecline48
i am sooo glad you are doing well in spite of others around you who don’t support you. Disability re defines how you life your life and you found a way to adapt in spite of lack of support. That is HUGE!! Proud of you!! 😎😎😎😎🙌🙌🙌😎😎😎😎🙌🙌😎😎😎😎
@SunShineAlwaysGrateful *lol* Not quite. They're not around me anymore & haven't been for years. My parents are dead; my mother's 2nd husband is dead; the rest of my family is either dead or in other parts of the country, handling their business like everyone else...I've been a solo act for probably too long now.
@SunShineAlwaysGrateful do u every feel like self-harming...
@dynamicBalloon7909 Gee I really Hope she doesn’t have that problem Balloon She’s One of my Favorite Peoples .🤫🤭
@OnlyDarkness
Ahhh thank you 💕💕💕 Right back at you!! 😎😎😎😎
@dynamicBalloon7909
No self harm isn’t something I have experienced in my life. I cope better with positivity and gratitude both. 😎😎😎😎😎🙌🙌🙌🙌😎😎😎😎🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌😎😎😎😎😎
