7 Cups 10th Birthday Celebration: Have Fun and Keep Full
Still in the spirit of 7 Cups' 10th birthday celebration, let's talk about another one of the 7 Cups' core values: have fun and keep full.
Having fun is about doing something enjoyable or that creates positive experiences.
Knowing what brings joy motivates us to stay true to ourselves. It keeps us behaving according to our values and passion.
The thing is, despite how much we love what we do, the amount of positive emotions we receive from something over time decreases when we do it repeatedly.
Obviously running 100% full is rare. But the cup ideally needs to be more than the bare minimum to help refill another. On and off 7 Cups. After all…
"You can't pour from an empty cup.”
Therefore, taking care of ourselves is essential.
Self-care can be as simple as playing guitar, or doing mindfulness sessions. To each their own, yet whatever it is, it means we make deliberate efforts to pamper ourselves.
You matter 🤍😊
Studies have found that just by looking at still images of nature is enough 'natural' stimulus to improve mood and lower stress levels.

I enjoy drawing or playing the piano. Spending time with God recharges me and gives me energy to help others
@ouiCherie. What I Find most Enjoyable is Talking to different People in or of different 1) Places 2) Ages 3) Nationalities 4) Religions 5) Sexual Orientation 6) Economies and 7)Personal Opinions. It really makes me think sometimes about Who I’m Chatting with and the different circumstances We live with . When my cup runs dry I Meditate and practice my Mindfulness. Oh and doing a little cooking or baking helps refill my Cup also .
