Table of Contents
Welcome to Rise Plus. This is a table of contents with links to the other threads or channels. It’s going to be a permanent pin under General Discussion for quick reference. Each lesson might have some exercises for us to work on. There will be a link to the relevant thread under Rising (How do I?). Rising (How do I?). This is where questions go. This is also where crafting goes. If you don’t know where something fits, post it there. Same Storm, Different Boat (Implementation Swap). This is a support thread for people who want real solutions, not endless processing. Post one struggle. Get examples from members who’ve dealt with something similar and the exact thing they implemented to solve it. Come back in 72 hours and report what happened. No advice without “What I implemented”. No diagnosing, no pile-ons, no shame. If you have a WIN or an accomplishment you would like to let us know about, it goes in Thriving, as a response. Everyone deserves an accolade and a pat on their backs for a job well done. Weekly Tarot has a regular post where people can ask for a 1 card tarot reading. Certain rules apply. I will post other tarot card or oracle readings on occasion. This will eventually become a paid feature required a subscription to access. The Grove is about being seen and witnessed. You’re welcome to share something you’re carrying like a realization or a transition you are going through. Short is better. This container does have a format to follow. Please respond to the original post in the link, and do not make a new thread. Sacred Circle is where we receive feedback from the community for a spell or manifestation we put together and performed. This is not where we craft something. Crafting goes under Rising. Please respond to the original post in the link, and do not make a new thread.

The Flow Finder
Find What Actually Helps You Focus Most people can't stay focused because they haven't tested what actually works. Flow research shows it's not about motivation—it's about setting up the right conditions. This exercise teaches you: - Which research-backed triggers work for YOUR brain - What helps you lock in and stay there - How to build a reliable focus setup Pick ONE to test during 30-60 minutes of work: -Pick ONE micro-goal (not "work on project"—pick ONE specific thing to finish: "write intro paragraph" or "fix this one bug") -Set up instant feedback (read each paragraph aloud after writing, run code after each function, show someone your work every 20 min) -Pick something 4% harder than what you did yesterday (slightly out of comfort zone, not overwhelming) -Work for 90 minutes straight (no breaks—matches your brain's natural attention cycle) -Turn off all distractions (phone in other room + notifications off + close every tab except one) -Add real stakes (tell someone you'll send them your work in 60 min, or you owe them $20 if you check your phone) -Change your environment (work somewhere completely different—library, coffee shop, different room, outside) -Engage 3 senses at once (stand while working + play music + drink coffee, OR walk + voice record ideas + hold something textured) After testing, post: -What I tested: [number]Task: [what you worked on] What happened: [stayed focused / got distracted / time disappeared] Keeping it: [Yes / No / Maybe] Example: What I tested: #1 (One micro-goal) Task: Writing client email. What happened: Finished in 15 min instead of stalling for an hour. After posting, reply to 2 people (if people responded to this) After testing 3, post your exercise: What works for me: [the 2-3 triggers that help you focus] Example: What works for me: One micro-goal + 90-min block + all distractions gone Why this matters: Flow triggers are proven to work, but they're individual. Testing shows you which ones fit your brain.

Cortisol Confessions - What's Actually Keeping You Locked
Share Your Trigger, Find Your People Most people are running survival chemistry 24/7 and blaming themselves for "not handling stress well." Truth: You're probably hitting the same 2-3 cortisol triggers every single day. Pick your TOP cortisol trigger from the list: - Sleep deprivation (less than 6 hours) - Blood sugar crashes (skipping meals, sugar spikes) - Toxic people or constant conflict - Doomscrolling (news, social media) - Sitting for hours without moving - Pain you're ignoring - Isolation (no safe contact for days) - Post something like this: "My main cortisol trigger: [pick one]Why I keep hitting it: [the real reason, not the excuse]One thing I'm testing this week: [specific action]" Example: "My main cortisol trigger: Sleep deprivation. Why I keep hitting it: I scroll my phone in bed because I'm avoiding thinking about tomorrow. One thing I'm testing this week: Putting my phone in another room at 10pm and reading actual paper instead" Then: - Reply to anyone with the SAME trigger (or something you have experienced before) as you and share what's worked (or failed) for you. - Cheer on anyone testing something hard or difficult.

Post Your Memes
Rise Plus wants your Meme, to help us laugh. Once you post your meme, you can do the next thing: Sometimes we have unfiltered thoughts or gallows humor. Exhaustion can talk though us. This is where you can say the messy thing. The funny thing. The unhinged thing. The “okay but WHAT THE FUCK” thing. Rules: No fixing. No life lessons. No polishing it into something meaningful. If it’s dark, weird, inappropriate, or just needs to move through, it belongs here. (No politics, drama, self harm or culturally insensitive content.) Respond however you actually would. Laugh. Swear. React honestly. If something hits you, say that. If it makes you snort, say that. If it’s uncomfortably funny, even better. Same people. Different weather system. If you want to post a meme, or your cat, you can. (Memes are especially welcome). If The Grove is where we sit, The Pineapple Express is where the pressure moves. What you can’t do here: Do not trauma dump. Do not talk about politics. Do not talk about suicide, self-harm, or harming others. Do not attack or ridicule other people. Do not post about protests you attended or political actions you took. If your post needs content warnings, crisis resources, or a moderator check, it belongs somewhere else—not here.
