Re-Introducing Member Compassion Course
by ASilentObserver

...See more Hi everyone, I hope you are doing well. This post is about - 7 Cups Compassion Course [https://www.7cups.com/forum/KitchenTable_133/SelfhelplearningwithLaura_743/7CUPSCOMPASSIONCOURSE_6809/1/] which was created by Laura. The course is for members only. Not for listeners! The goal of this course is to understand and know the basics of practicing compassion and help & support our members to have a compassionate experience in the group support chat rooms. This course allows you to foster healthy conversations and connections as well as be a compassionate, loving, supportive, and amazing member of the chat rooms and the community. Who can participate? Any member can take this quiz. Even if you are an experienced member, then also welcome to take part in it. Because we are all learning and practicing compassion. How can a member participate? * Once you have completed the course, please let us know in the comments of this post. * Also, tag any 3 members you know to invite them to take the quiz as well. * Your responses to the course will be graded and if you successfully passed it, you will receive, “Compassion Hero” badge. * If you didn’t pass, that’s okay. Feedback will be shared and then you can retake the course. Please remember that this course is designed to help you practice compassion and empathy for yourself and others. Because it is kindness that makes any place a better place to live in. Also, it will make you feel more comfortable, and well equipped to participate and be a wonderful participant in the group support chat rooms and forums. If you have any feedback to improve the course or any other ideas, please let us know in the comments of this thread. On that note, I invite you to take the compassion course here: https://tinyurl.com/4us8x8ue A big thank you to @vivelespatates for single-handedly managing this initiative for all these years! ------------------------- Edit: by ASilentObserver on 04/06/2022
Calling All Verified Listeners: Help Wanted on the 7 Cups Welcome Committee!
by Heather225
Last post
 December 2nd
...See more The hardest part of the journey is sometimes the beginning, and this is especially true of our newbies. We as a community have the power and ability to ensure they get properly oriented and supported so that their journey is smooth. I have been actively contacting newbies over the past couple of months and the results have been inspiring. Roughly 80% of those I sent a personal message responded to me and very appreciatively! That's a really big deal because those people have a much higher chance of being retained (retained = staying on 7 Cups). But I need help! So it's with great excitement, that I announce the revamped relaunch of the Welcome Committee! Through this initiative, we can meet our newcomers at the start with a friendly welcome (think hospitality, a greeter, etc.). We will also provide guidance and resources they need to navigate their first steps. The tasks are simple. PMing brand new members off a list, saying hi, giving resources, answering their questions and sending follow-up PMs to make sure their transition is complete. There's a few requirements just to be sure Welcomers are familiar with the basics of our platform. Requirements: ✔ You must be a Verified Listener (find out how to get verified here) [https://www.7cups.com/forum/listenerjourney/ListenerVerificationProject_1839/GetVerifiedon7Cups_290064/] ✔ 25+ chats ✔ No behavior reports (BPS) within 3 months ✔ Maintenance criteria: 2-3 hours a month to dedicate to this project ✔ Adaptability to changes! This is a new team so we're still figuring things out and like to try new things. ✔ Note: The team uses a google spreadsheet to copy/paste names and log PMs so you'll need access to a computer/laptop device. We apologize for the inconvenience! The monthly quota: Adults: Welcome 30 members (60 messages sent including first PM & followup) Teens: Welcome 15 members (30 messages sent including first PM & followup) You can make a huge difference in our community's growth by joining us. I look forward to building this team with you! >>> Apply here! [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdye3w6JNdBiU4gNfilMGSxEfnqXXsQb-lR_xTvJmGD3GHKiA/viewform] <<<

...See more There was once a person who, for a long time, felt lost in the middle of a storm. Every day felt like a struggle, and every step seemed harder than the last. But one day, they found themselves standing at the edge of a field, just as the sun began to set. The light was soft, the air was calm, and for the first time in a long while, they allowed themselves to take a deep breath. They didn’t have all the answers, but in that moment, they realized that just standing there, taking that breath, was enough. And it was in that stillness that they found the courage to take the next step. Life, much like that storm, can feel overwhelming at times. But you don’t have to face it alone. You are part of a community now—a place where you’re supported, where you can rest, and where you’ll find the strength to rise again, one step at a time. And remember, “The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.” – Nelson Mandela. It’s not about having it all figured out from the start. It’s about giving yourself permission to keep going, even when it feels hard. So welcome, truly. We’re so glad you’re here. This is your place to breathe, to be heard, and to find support when you need it most. And most importantly, remember: “You are enough, just as you are.”❤️ One happy listener
A new phase!

...See more Hello All,  As much as I am excited to begin a new chapter of my life. The past weighs in on me a little bit. I  called off my wedding a month back. Though I loved my ex, he was emotionally abusive. As days go by, I heal bit by bit. The relief that comes from leaving a toxic situation is definitely something I feel almost everyday. But the thing is Laziness and distraction comes along with it. I want to study for an exam that's coming up to work for my passion. I am glad I have the freedom and time now. But any thoughts on getting through this but at the same time be productive without being lazy all day without distractions? 7 Cups has definitely helped me through it. I feel what the picture depicts all day long - to sleep in and be cozy...

...See more I can listen to others normally. When I listen to how I am speaking, sometimes I feel like listening to someone else speaking and feel like the voice coming from someone else. I know it's my voice but sometimes I feel like it belongs to someone else.

...See more I think someone blocked me, and they're completely right for doing so because I made a mistake with my words, since English is my second language. Ild like to reach out to that person and apologize, but I won't say who they are out of respect for them, so this is for that person, hopping they are here and they will read this🤍 Hey, I'm really sorry, english is my second language. I meant something like, "Oh, actually, I'm autistic." If you think you're autistic, there's probably a reason for it. I believe self-diagnosis is valid. Im really sorry, I used the wrong word, I'm sorry, I'm learning english, I totally understand if you don't want to talk to me. l just wanted to clarify the situation and let you know that what you're going through is valid. I'm so sorry, I hope you can forgive but l understand if you don'tl just wanted to apologize ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹
