Announcement: 7 Cups Healthy Habits

Hi everyone, earlier this year, we started a group support initiative i.e. Sharing Circle. It is a guided support session where members could vent in an uninterrupted space safely. We conduct Sharing Circles in the tradition of other support groups like Alcohol Anonymous and Overeaters Anonymous.

Currently, we are running 12 Sharing Circle Sessions on the Adult side and 4 Sharing Circle Sessions on the Teen side. Though, Glen and the CM Team were giving thoughts on how to provide more support through consistent activities that happen every day. And, we wanted to go to the next level and something fresh and exciting.

So, we are rolling out … 7Cups Healthy Habits!

Healthy Habit is an extended version of Sharing Circles to facilitate learning, developing healthy habits, and growing together as we build healthier habits in life.

The session framework and structure will remain the same as the sharing circle but the focus will be on sharing the small steps one takes to cultivate healthy habits. Habits that allow one to progress, grow, and tackle their challenges. These sessions will run after every sharing circle session.

We all have challenges, but how we respond to those matters. When you take small steps to face and address those challenges one by one, you learn and grow. Every step you take is significant. And when you take a bunch of steps every day, it forms your healthy habit. It could be positive self-talk, meditation, public speaking, eating healthy, exercising, etc. And, a bunch of such healthy habits allows one to bring a positive change in their lives and thrive!

How will it differ from Sharing Circle and other discussions?

These sessions have a unique structure like a sharing circle but they are different. In these sessions, one will be focused on learning and growing whereas sharing circles will be focused on venting and sharing.

Another unique aspect is that anyone who is observing and supporting the sharer may feel encouraged to try those small steps to cultivate new healthy habits to transform their lives. This will be a group practicing. Everyone will get the uninterrupted space to share what small steps they are taking or what healthy habits they are developing. Once the sharing is done, all would be welcomed to praise, encourage, and acknowledge the sharers efforts.

Who will participate?

Only members can enter the queue to share. While listeners could stay, listen, and support the journey of developing or maintaining healthy habits.

How can I help?

We are looking for hosts who could lead and cover these sessions so it could happen consistently every day in the community. It will allow everyone to join and get support while they develop healthy habits.

We want to provide all support to our community members in their struggles and efforts to progress in their lives.

Please keep in mind that this is an extended version but a new idea, so it's likely that we will be evolving this as we go and learn from all of you!
