Join the One Line A Day Journaling Challenge
by SoulfullyAButterfly
Last post
 June 4th
...See more It might not seem like much, but putting pen to paper and writing down our thoughts and feelings can do wonders for our well-being. When we journal, we create a safe and private space where we can express ourselves freely and without judgment. This can be especially helpful if we find it hard to share our feelings with others. Journaling also helps us gain clarity and perspective on our thoughts and emotions. We can identify patterns in our thinking and behavior, which can help us recognize triggers and make positive changes in our lives. It can also be a powerful tool to manage stress, anxiety, and other mental health challenges. By writing down our worries and concerns, we can release some of the tension we're carrying around and feel more at ease. 7 Cups has recently launched a Journals & Diaries community and we’re kicking off the launch with a fun challenge you can join! To start and maintain a journaling practice, we are launching a One Line A Day Challenge, where you are invited to journal only one line a day, for 1 month (or more!). Here’s how to join in: * Subscribe to the Journals & Diaries subcommunity at 7 Cups by clicking “Join”. * Consider taking the Flourishing Assessment [https://www.7cups.com/assessment/Flourishing] before you begin the challenge to get a sense of how well you are thriving. This free assessment helps you get insight on your strengths too! * Click the “One Line A Day” topic on the right-hand side of the Journals & Diaries community homepage. Create a thread for your journaling journey. An example thread is “SoulfullyAButterfly’s One Line A Day Thread [https://www.7cups.com/forum/JournalsDiaries_219/OneLineADay_2524/SoulfullyAButterflysOneLineADayThread_301755/]”. You can mention your starting date and any other requests you would like (such as whether you prefer people only read or are ok to get supportive replies) in your first post. * Feeling stuck? We will also create daily journaling prompt threads under the “One Line A Day” topic/section to help you reflect on different things. While this is optional, you can use the prompts for inspiration and can respond under those threads (feel welcome to copy the prompt/response) onto your own thread if you feel like having everything in one place! An additional feature 7 Cups offers is your private journal and timeline. To view it, feel welcome to click here [https://www.7cups.com/path/]. Will you be joining the One Line A Day Challenge? Let us know below and tag other users you think may enjoy this!

 August 4th, 2024
...See more Having a safe space to reflect and document your thoughts and feelings can be a valuable tool in your wellness toolbox. A lot of us at 7 Cups have been journaling and self-reflecting, and I wanted to highlight the private journal feature which currently lives on our profiles as well as under the path steps we can take:  With the Private Journal feature, you can: 📝 Create Personal Entries: Document your thoughts, emotions, and experiences in a completely private setting. It's your space to express yourself freely, without judgment. 📆 View on Your Timeline: Your journal entries are organized on a timeline, alongside other site activity like messages, hearts, path steps taken, and assessment score data. This timeline provides a holistic view of your progress and self-care journey. Have you tried out this feature yet? Feel welcome to share feedback and any ideas on how you would want this feature updated to meet your journalling needs.

...See more Well... I'm not sure why I'm making this but I guess I decided to make a place where I can express how I feel. Or I guess just to write out all the chaos that's inside my head. Or just completely random things that have nothing at all to do with anything. 🙃 Since Ive never had a place where I've felt safe to express myself I guess this will my little corner of internet where I do feel safe. (Maybe)  I honestly don't mind replies, just be nice... Please (:

My message for him

...See more After all he has done, what he's doing know, it feels like he's apologising. He knows, what I am. He knows, what I can do, he probably didn't expect this outcome, yet he still loves me. What he has been doing just gives me what I want, he has been re-affirming me every single time, and I trust him. I hate when people don't trust in him. I can heal, only through him, and that's alright, because I trust him. The kind of trust i've never had with anybody. .~ To God

What is good/bad and Social Norms
by TrueChaoss
Last post
 1 day ago
...See more I've struggled with these thoughts my entire life and it took me a long time to finally feel comfortable enough to even talk out against this in fear of public opinion on this specific topic. most people refuse to speak out about this and refuse to even ask questions to the people they trust most.  Everyone has a different scale and different ideals of good and bad. If you ask someone who loves animals on their opinions most would agree that hurting animals are bad and saving animals should be defined as good but then most animal lovers still consume animal products, eat meat, use animal materials. There are different opinions on said things as well as we have vegans who refuse to eat and use animal products or a lot of tribes believe that if you do kill an animal you just have to make sure not to waste any part of that animal. both vegans, animal lovers and tribes have a love for animals yet vegans think that anyone who eats animal product or uses it are bad while tribes think not using every part of a animal is bad.  this is one example of the many on how what's considered ok and good can be considered horrible and bad to someone else.  That also gets to social normals. those who do not think that heavily on what is good and bad but instead base their thoughts on what the majority of people around them consider to be good and bad.  religion and law is another form that people base their morals on, religion usually have a set of laws to follow and governments have laws and punishments for breaking said laws.  a lot of people seem to get overly sensitive when topics such as murder, rape, slavery or genocide seem to be mentioned as all of these topics include the suffering and death of a person/thing and is also heavily influenced by the people they talk to and the people others hang around.  So to answer the question of what is considered good/bad is not just a one off question that you can just ask. for example slavery used to be good and normal before but is considered horrible in todays standard in America.  Good and bad in my opinion is 1. based off of the area you are in and the social normal around that area and 2. based off of your personal beliefs/personal experiences and groups opinion that you spend the most time around.

honesty signaling
by TrueChaoss
Last post
 1 day ago
...See more I wanted to make my first thread post about honesty signaling as its something I personally do a lot. for those of you who do not know what that even is (Honest signaling refers to behavior, traits, or communication signals that reliably convey truthful information about an individual's quality, intentions, or state because they are difficult or costly to fake) In more simple terms for me its the act of admitting that I'm a horrible person in order to make myself seem "less horrible" or at least honest and/or like a good/kind person. I do this without realizing to this day, calling myself a horrible/bad person knowing that people will take pity on that in order to deal/cope with some of the actions/thoughts that I have and will do. I find it really interesting that when admitting that you have done a horrible thing or that your a horrible person people will see you as less horrible and maybe even over exaggerating on specific things that you promise or tell a person. when someone openly admits that they are evil it makes them look heroic and honest and like they just have giant self worth issues.  Its a form of reverse psychology I was unknowingly used on my friends, family and relationships that I got into, even strangers as I used to care about the opinions others held on me subconsciously and I'm sure I still do to this day. It was also a way to cope with the horrible thoughts in my head, in a way it was almost like confessing and getting others to tell me that it was ok to have horrible thoughts.  (whats defined as horrible and bad is also highly subjective from person to person but I will leave that for another thread.).

I went to support group today but it's so hard to share things there sometimes. I try to tell myself I am doing my best to show up and share a little more each time.
