7 Cups Private Journal Feature: Your Personal Safe Space
by SoulfullyAButterfly
Last post
 August 4th
...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 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!
Out of The Corner/In The World

...See more Hi! Some of you might know of my other space here, In the corner. Or just, "the corner" in my head. This is the world! I.e this is me learning to "adult" (what?), get out of my comfort zone, accept my flaws, seek the positives in life, etc etc! My journey out of the comfort zone, basically. And it's going to be rocky, it's going to be real hard, and I'm going to end up in the corner venting about something more times than not, probably, but it's a step, I think.  Let's get out of the corner! (That was kinda cheesy!)

...See more Hi everyone, Im gonna be posting here every week. So.. you may or may not have seen my poems across 7cups or my writing. Anyways, if you have not then thats okay. Let me introduce myself. You can call me Bunny/Violet/Bun Bun. I am from the UK and I am 13 years old. So I came here to inspire, to love, to show kindness and to be respected. The biggest power on this planet is love and kindness. Humanity is in a state of disaster. Panic. Hatred. But hate never beats love. Because love has more power than hate. I was bullied for over 6 years. I learnt alot across the years. I learnt to overcome. Learnt to love. Learnt to forgive. I am human. I am not a robot. I am not a stranger anymore. I am me. And if people wanna judge me for who I am then I say.... I forgive them. And I know that they can change. Like Martin Luther King once said, “Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.” Humanity is changing. The world is awakening. And more and more people are realising the reality. The reality of social media. The reality of trauma. The reality of life. This is who we are. And together we form as 1. We live in a big world. Scary. Isn't it? But its to beautiful. Its so beautiful how the sun rises. How then stars glimmer every night. How the wind howls. Isn't it? and we dont realise how beautiful it really is until..... we think about it. Think deeply about it and you will find how beautiful it is. If your feeling alone right now. just know that..... Your strong. Even if you dont believe it. Your worthy. Even if you dont believe it. You can get through this. I am here for you. We are here for you. Thanks for reading, This is me, Bunny and this is my world. Take care, Bunny

...See more Hello <3 I know I have a forum thread called "Bird's Nest" but all I post there is venting stuff, despite me also wanting to have happy things. It just feels weird to combine the two so I decided to make a different corner for postive things, like memes, talking with friends, and other things. Before I post a bunch of things tho, I want to tag some people I appreciate and care for, so so much. @Axtyn @Mack @ALeXaNdEr0712 @Astraeuss @OliveTree1728 @WarriorHeartsSystem @DarkerPlaces @Swiftygirl13 @JodyThinksTooMuch @mysteriousClover @Nomifordays

My World, A Username?

...See more Hi! To whoever reading this, welcome to my world where I will write whatever the heck my mood wants in this thread. 📝 Trigger warning as some thoughts that I will write might be no-oh-so great. About me, I don't think I'm good at usernames. Literally, my username here is WriteMeaUsername. So at this moment, I'll shall probably call myself "Write" on this platform. Alright, what should I write I wonder? I haven't decided yet. Soon. Maybe. Aghhh, so moody!

My Void of Venting

...See more I’ve always wanted to start a journal. I was always worried that it had to be perfect. What if future generations read it? What would they think? Thats why I created this thread. Because now I can vent into the void so to speak and I don’t have to worry about it being perfect or it even having to make sense. The void doesn’t judge. I’m not currently wanting anyone to leave comments. Feel free to read my venting if you want but please don’t leaves comments. Thanks! 🤍

...See more Easter days 2k24+ Previously https://www.7cups.com/forum/journal/General_2520/2252k24_324465/?p=4 ___ Uggh you try to escape here and something drags you back here. The need or impulse to alleviate something sore. Put your pride aside but you find no content in producing content in how you find yourself yet again in this spot to reside. This is why it's important to learn to not to take it all so seriously, preferably not via indifference or an ignorant sort of humour. Humour that understated key to wisdom, difficult to entertain whereas too many think vice-versa a course to take. __ I don't like how Psychforum's journal section is moderated and I'm fairly surprised by how neither Wrongplanet nor Reddit (as far as I know) have sections for journalling. Ditching this place would be easier if the prospect of immediate contact with listeners wasn't justified by my experiences.
1 Month Sobriety update
by versatileOcean742
Last post
 1 day ago
...See more This past month has been a great experience. I’ve quit a few substances and behaviors. I feel much more in line with the person I want to be. Im extremely confident in my ability to continue my sobriety both because of how emotionally fulfilling it is but also because of the efforts I’ve put in to find education and community. I completed a 10hr relapse prevention program which was based on the 12 steps and emphasized living in recovery and commitments for the rest of my life. I’m enrolled in individual counseling with a specialist in trauma and recovery. Thats been great. Ive only had one meeting so far but I really look forward to working with that clinic. In addition Im registered for a larger program with 50+ hour group workshop and individual counseling which im excited for. I started attending church as per the spiritual guidance of 12 step, but the most fulfilling aspect of that has been service and community. Through the church I’m attending a grief workshop for the recent passing of my friend. They also have sexual assault meetings I may also attend to get a different perspective and community in contrast to the clinic’s program. I started volunteering weekly as well. Im on week 3. things I would like to focus on more in the next month is exercise, career, and more finite study on the relationship between trauma and addiction.
