I learned to remind myself that even the smallest accomplishments are worth celebrating.
@nikolnicole, Absolutely! The smallest of accomplishments are still accomplishments!
I reached step 40 today.
I do step after step wondering when I will start to feel better. Every positive thing I respond with brings up 2 negative things in return. But oddly enough I keep taking step after step. Does that mean that its a pointless exercise? no... it does not. It shows that somewhere inside of me there is hope that it will get better. I heard a long time ago from a dear friend who is the strongest and most compassionate person I have ever known.
He is considered a hero to many people but he told me once that I was his hero for the simple fact that I kept getting back up. He said " its easy to stay up and keep going, but its a lot harder to get back up and try again over and over" he was responding to a conversation we were having about my depression. He said that "anyone who keeps fighting and keeps taking step after step no matter how many times they fall is a hero of the truest kind to me"
So everyone on 7cups. all of you who takes these steps day after day and post after post.... Remember you are a hero. no matter how much we fall down we will get back up!
@Tomadock - really good insights... i often feel the same way... a lot of the good of this is in the trying and the doing at all...
@kindofblue thank you. I figure everyone here needs to know they are stronger than they probably feel or realize and that they are indeed heroes.
Learned that I can make a difference in other people's lives, even if it just talking to them.
im around #10 and im glad that i've managed to scrounge up the energy to try and make myself better emotionally for once.
I've reached step 80 and i definitely feel like i am gaining some confidence and some sense that taking care of myself, even a little bit, every day, is good for me :)
@kindofblue, Congratulations on making it to step 80! That's a great achievement, and you're making wonderful progress!
These exercises have helped me calm down a little from a very busy and stressful college life.
@dpotter1996, That's great to hear! Keep up the good work :)
I learnt that I am willing and have the initiative to become a better and more positive person. No more sad me!

I just signed up to be a member a few days ago and I am loving the listeners and the 7 cups Community. This is really helping me solve my problems and when I write things down, like chatting with a listener, I feel so much better. Thank you 7 Cups!
@Ilovebooks42 so glad to hear that you feel better! and even more so that you have joined our 7cups family! :)
@newbiebunny I am glad too!
I just reached step #40 and I have learned that I always have the ability to be calm within me. Though this app helps a tremendous amount, I will always have the ability resting in me and that is something to be proud about!
@goodSummer30 congrats on reaching step #40!! and that you are able to find the tranquility within you!! truly something to be proud of :)
Just reached level 10. I learned that it is important to take the time to just relax and live in the moment. I have control over my life and it is important to realise that.
@Shai9 congrats on step #10!! <3 and so glad to hear that you are learning new things about yourself :)
