A Talk On Self Care With LivingToHelpLive

Talker: @LivingToHelpLive

What is your idea of spending a balanced time on 7cups? Share your idea of how a good day looks like on 7cups, for you.

I feel like balance in any context of living is truly important. You can not stand steady while being in an imbalance.

I have multiple volunteer and curriculum activities. Every single one of them brings me very different opportunities and experiences. I have set boundaries in each of them, including 7Cups and that keeps me healthy and freshly tuned day by day.

What challenges did you face in trying to strike that balance?

I think from The start it was The desire to do everything. At The same time, I have always been a person who likes to do things 100%. And These two factors I had set up for me didn't really go well together unless I wanted to burn out. And that was a big no-no for me. I eliminated activities that did not benefit me as much as others.

How did you try to deal with those challenges?

By setting boundaries. I am just a human being and I have my limits. They have a start But they have The end too. I can try to overgrow them, push them a bit-you know getting outside of my comfort zone. But in The end, even that has its own limits and I needed to learn How to respect them.

What are the benefits of improving your balance for the time you spend on cups?

I can work more efficiently, I genuinely enjoy being in this amazing community, i listen more deeply, and overall, I am more mindful.

What message would you like to give to the cupsers who have come to be negatively attached to cups, in one of the many ways?

Set boundaries. Give yourself permission to rest and…. Maybe, take a break, you deserve it:)
