Welcome back to our lounge!

"When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too”

EmQWXVTRAx1-GVOS6YfWD6iYyYgcMrDWXNjI0SGR1CAaODkbsRLkO_de0rDGO4blAUaZaa4io65QEpvSbztMEQx2KhznVQ-_rT0otthMVpLhDvsE2k_0GzXi1J2cYRRM51GzY1Fw

Today’s activity will be focused on self-improvement.

Plants need water to grow. That’s why we water our plants. Why then, don’t we water ourselves too?

Just as plants

In order to grow into a “plant”, there must first be a seed for us to sow into the ground so that we can watch our “plant” bloom. Seeds can be a new habit or goal that we want to do like exercising, reading more, or practicing self care more often.

With the fast pace the world is constantly in, we often forget to slow down to look at the small, simple things. Sometimes, when you do, you realize that we are so caught up in this world that we may be neglecting the most important thing to us — our health.

Just like how it’s relaxing when you’re watering the plants in your garden, it is just as relaxing when you take the time to ‘water’ yourself. No matter what you give to yourself (love, peace, forgiveness, self-care, food), ensure that it is beneficial to your growth and wellbeing.

Remember, taking care of yourself should be your main priority.

@CheeryMango

That was a beautiful post with a beautiful message! Thanks for that! 💕

The letter I got was: F

So my self-care aim is: Feel more comfortable with not being productive all the time!

Thanks for reminding me and others to water our own plants (physical and mental ones 😂)!

Amazing thread!

I got V, which was a hard letter to start with so I went through one of the dream dictionaries I like to use and chose some V words that I thought could inspire me.

First: vacation.
I love my work, and work all the time (moreso now in lockdown particularly). There is always more to be done, which can make it easy to move through victories quickly. I would love to live in a kind of constant celebration of my acheivements. A couple of years ago I never would have thought I'd be able to do what I do for a living.

Second: violets.
The dictionary said these can symbolize passion, joy, bliss, enlightenment, and observation. Since I started using 7cups last year I have done so much more acknowledging of gradtitude (the app "presently" is amazing for this!) and it has improved my wellbeing significantly. I think having more observation in my life will help with my first "vacation" goal. Letting myself experience meaningful things.

Thank you!!

I got the letter S.

I spend a lot of time inside, working or taking care of others. I am going to Start Spending time Smiling in the Sunshine. Even for a few minutes a day. I need to get that cheeriness and happiness from the sunshine.

My random letter is e

That's a tough one... I think I'm working on focusing my energy to be more productive both here in 7Cups and with my work. It's far too easy for me to be all "Squirrel!!" when it comes to things going on around me.

@CheeryMango

P - Positivity.

I am personally working on being positive in the worse of situations and sprinkling positivity around wherever I go. My goal is that people should get positive vibes from me as I highly think that the world needs it the most. ❤

So, I have set scheduled reminders to water my plants. Coz they are drying due to the hot summer season here.
