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

Hi @Cin @Shaz51

Great work, the both of you have had big days! I'm feeling a bit broken today.

So I will do my best to find five:

1. Recognised I needed a day off from training & guitar due to my dark mood and misfiring brain so took I one and am not beating myself up about it.
2. Love that even in this black hole I can still know intellectually that it will pass and things will improve again.
3. I love that I haven't self sabotaged which is usually my fall back position in this mood, but not today baby. Today I'm staying strong even if I don't feel that way.
4. Love that I can feel safe even when I feel wretched.
5. Love that even though today was pretty rough, I showered and had a good healthy dinner.


I made it. Yay!
