How many people actually practice SELF-care?

This is a topic that is vitally important, for the whole 7 Cups community.

There is a trend where we end up so busy, the only people that get any pleasure is everyone else.

But.... what about you?! Because you matter!

Is being selfish wrong? or is it just about time we thought of ourselves for once?

I spent years and years doing anything and everything for anyone, because I thought, if I do that, people will like and respect me..... right? wrong!

This ultimately leads to people taking advantage of you, and that even includes "Can you grab me some bread from the store?" because sooner or later, it will be "I need some bread, milk, cereal, fruit etc etc etc" and then it will become an expectancy of you and when you do stop doing it, problems occur.

For once, or even if you do practice self-care, I want you to do this....

- Sit in a room (on your own of course)

- Think about your life!

- Where do you want to be in 5 years?

- Who do you want to be in 5 years?

- Who has an open door policy for you? meaning... if you really needed someone, who is that person who isn't always busy, or going out somewhere everytime you need someone.

- What do you enjoy to do?

- What do you want to do? Maybe you inspire to be a singer, or go bowling each week, maybe you'd like to go to college and train as a teacher.

This is about you!

I can tell you one thing absolutely, the 7 Cups Community care about you, we're here for you, and no matter what, that will stay the same.

Whether you are a member or a listener - It is okay to step back, it's okay to leave the site for a week, 2 weeks, a month, just to clear your head and regenerate yourself (you have a members account if you need some support!)

I know some people will need to hear what I am about to say, I've been there, it was a horrible, horrible place where there is only one way out, where nobody cares, where you have no friends.

7 Cups is by your side, 7 Cups loves you - and you better believe it! We care about your safety, your welfare and your life.

We don't want to just keep picking you up everytime you fall (we will if we have to!), we want you to grow like the little seed that becomes a gigantic and beautiful blossom tree, we want to see you develop, be in better control of you, and if you don't already, to love yourself and at least respect yourself.

You are diamonds - valuable, beautiful and shining!

We love you all, and thank you for all your contributions to the 7 Cups Community, whether you are new to the site and finding your feet, a regular member, a listener, a team leader or an admin.

We are One! and we are stronger Together!

❤️❤️❤️
