I have learned that just talking things through with someone else can put a new perspective on things.
@LittleLotte
that's brilliant, sounds like you have found being able to open up more has really helped. congrats because I know that sharing things can be hard at times. 💐🌼
Just reached level 40 on my growth path. I'm learning to take time to reflect and relax in my life. I'm also learning to view things in a more positive light.
@RandomLea
congrats on reaching 40 in the progress path!!!!!
Glad things seem to have improved for you and i hope this is just the start of better things to come for you :)
I've learned that despite wanting to be normal and fit in, I'm distressed that I'm not as unique as I thought I was.
@BeautyIsTheBeast
you deserve to be appreciated for being you :)
@amazingRainfall28
Lol, "just like everyone else", it kinda takes away from being unique, doesn't it?
@BeautyIsTheBeast
kind of like a snowflake, your experiences and thoughts and looks and particular strand of dna etc, all unique to you, sure some people can relate and possibly look similar and yeah everyone's like that but not everyone can do what you can do in the environment your in, not everyone has the same goals, same interests, relationships etc. You really are uniquely you and there is no one quite like you. It's what makes people interesting and sometimes unpredictable. :)
the #1 think i've learned is to calm down and not freak out over everything
@alexsalix
sounds like you have learned to be more mindful, that's brilliant :)
I've just reached 50 but I still am struggling. I will keep on pressing on.
@Watermelon3616
pressing on while struggling is such a huge sign of strength, but know 7cups is here to support you so you don't have to struggle alone, ok?
I'm on step 40, but it really doesn't seem that way.
@happygolily Thats awesome that your on step 40! Your doing so well!! :D Keep going :)

the big 120!
i don't know if i see a huge change yet but i will say that (with my streak up in the teens again) that it is becoming more and more normal to take some time out for myself and my mental well-being each day.
@kindofblue your doing so well! Thats really awesome that you have reached step 120! :D
Keep going because your doing super well :)
casscass
@Casscass - thanks as always for the encouragement.
i hope you are doing well, too!
Focus on the positives. Life can throw so many negatives at you all the time, sometimes you just have to remember the little things that have happened that have shown how strong you are, how much courage you have, and all of you achievements, no matter how small.
@Freckles2468 Thats so true! :) Im so glad that you shared this with us :D Very wise words and very thoughtful words too :)

i feel bad
@Ykanna - yeah... I too understand how that goes.
@Ykanna I'm so sorry to hear you are feeling bad, We are always here for you if you need to talk. 
I ran into an old abusive friend today and had enough strength not to try to go back to that old, painful relationship, which is what I've tried to do every other time we have crossed paths.
