Power of Positivity

Power of Positivity

Hey fellow forumites!

I decided to start a new thread on the power of positivity. I have found in the past I tend to have days where the negativity in my head is so loud I tend to lose sight of what I like about being me. So this is a space where we can all come and list those things we like/love about ourselves anytime we want.

So basically list 5 or more positive things about yourself that you feel today. It can be things you like/love about yourself, things you like/love that you can do, or things you've discovered about yourself, but it has to be positive and relevant to you today, in this moment. It's essentially an exercise in positivity and mindfulness. Be as descriptive as you want.

I'll start us off.

1. I love my body. It carries me everywhere and can do amazing things, like run, swim, ride a bike, lift weights, walk to amazing places, play guitar, sing.

2. I love my sense of humour. I can see the humour an irony in almost anything and I love that my sense of humour keeps me grounded.

3. I love my mental strength. I've waged so many wars in my head, but my mental strength always comes out on top, it's a true warrior.

4. I love that I can write poetry. It has become such an important part of my recovery and I really enjoy it.

5. I love my heart. I'm a big softie and love to make people feel good about themselves.

6. I love my smile. 🙂

Okay, so I am going to tag in some people and hope you can all share it with your friends too.

Thanks for being you! Big hugs! xx

Re: Power of Positivity

Todays positives are one getting out of bed for an appointment this morning even though I didnt feel like getting up yet,also ate food regulary throughout the day,also ordered some groceries online,also ordered fish and chips for dinner,also resting again,honestly been feeling tired alot today,not sure if its cause of the antidepressant meds but anyway also had strange dreams last night,but anyway despite feeling tired I still had a reasonably good day today,although tomorow I have a doctors appointment to do with my mental health tomorow to see how Im going since being put on meds,to be honest Im not looking forward to going to that appointment so much so I may change it to next week instead as I still have a lack of transport to get to and from appointments because I as yet still dont have another car to drive but anyway Ill see how I feel in the morning as for tonight well maybe a series on netflix,maybe some music or I might watch some more of the Olympics and eat a chocoalte cheesecake dessert and coffee take care everyone

Hi @LostAngel,

Thank you for sharing your experiences. I can see you were dealing with tiredness and worry in regards to your doctor's appointment yesterday. It is wonderful that you were able to get out of bed and move through your day in spite of that, as I understand how hard overcoming those feelings can be at times. You have some real inner strength!

How are you feeling this morning?
