August Wellness Month Series: "A Little Something For Your Heart"
In celebration of Wellness Month, we're checking in with ourselves and holding ourselves accountable through sharing A Little Something.
We have checked in with our bodies and our minds. Be sure to visit those posts as well and let me know what you did today to nurture yourself!
💞 Social connection is an aspect of wellness, and a core value of 7 Cups. It's a simple reminder that reaching out to others is a form of self-care! What is one thing you did to connect with someone today? It could be a text to a friend, a compliment to a stranger, a chat with a listener, or a member! We'd love to hear about the 'little something' that made you feel connected.|
🌱 Challenge yourself to build up a healthy habit by returning to this post every day for the rest of August and share your little something you did for your heart.
🤝 Don't forget to respond to your peers to give kudos and encouragement!
@Heather225 a healthy habit I will work on this month is mostly gonna be mentallly
1) ask for help when I need it
2) don't isolate myself when I know I need support
3) start opening up more, I don't need to be embarrassed and ashamed to talk about my past
Ok wish me good luck💖💖
@Tinywhisper11
excellent goals!
Especially now… Post. Make lots of posts. Don’t feel ashamed about doing so <3 Emotions and big and real and scary and yucky. Sharing them makes them easier to handle <3
If you don’t feel like sharing them with everyone, share them with our group chat <3

@GrimSox yaaaay! Lola and Charlie with the same goals💖 we can do this 💖
@GrimSox
what kind of art 👀
@Heather225 H, I made some like these, and printed them out on glossy paper. I'm into this new hobby of sending postcards so, I'm also making stickers and stuff to stick on them.
1. Mindfulness 2. Anicca means "impermanence" in Buddhism
3. OFC has some key neural circuitry that plays a role in forming and undoing habits and addictions 4. dopamine vs discipline
:)
@GrimSox

in case you may have meant to comment on another thread, this post is asking what you have done today to connect with someone as part of august wellness month 🥰
@Heather225
What is one thing you did to connect with someone today?
I greeted a neighbor and connected to people here on the site.
I spoke with a neighbor and Made plans with a family member ❤️
@Heather225
Just took a few minutes to enjoy a cup of tea and a deep breath feeling good and connected!
I have a regular member that I am chatting with every night. She depersonalizes to tell me what is going on with her. Last night she told me she felt safe enough with me that her mind doesn't feel like she has to do it to talk to me. As a person with a disassociation disorder, this meant so much to me. My heart warmed when she started telling me "this happened to me". That trust means a lot.
@Heather225 ok I took my first step in improving my mental health for wellness month by making a post where everyone can feel safe and open up 💖
I helped my mil with customer service for some travel she has coming up. The service agent was so kind and helpful, I told him he deserved a hug.
I connected with familiar customers at work. Laugh about something. Always make some of them smile that I remember their usual drink they order.
