- Anonymity: 100% anonymous & confidential chats

- Positive environment to grow both as a member & a listener.

- Joining Forum Discussions: A must!

Because it is definitely gonna increase your knowledge, lead you towards a healthy discussion, encourage you to put your opinion forward.

- With 7 Cups mindfulness exercises, you can literally help yourself when anxiety hits you. (My own experience)

- Do not hesitate to ask for any help. It is okay to not know everything. We all are here to help each other. Nobody is going to make you feel bad about it. Trust me, people here are kind & compassionate. They take pleasure in supporting one another.

- Avoid giving advice, sharing personal details/social media handles, etc. It can land you into unwanted serious situations. Although it is strictly prohibited as per 7 Cups guidelines, it is for your own safety.

- It is a humble request, set boundaries beforehand. Take out time to carry out duties of your life, take care of yourself too. Do not stick to 7 Cups 24/7 because 7 Cups is highly addictive.

All the best. ❤
