Hi @PositivePossum6 @hanami @Former-Member and other forumites! I too am wishing everyone a positive day ahead and what’s left of Friday!
Today, I got woken up by housemate over a drama with our bins not being emptied properly by the council bin collectors and her bringing in the neighbors bin by accident. I was really stressing over it as we’ve had some recent trouble with a neighbour in our unit complex and thought we’d get in trouble but it turns out that by me thinking positive, it was actually okay. I did get to meet the neighbour whose bin was brought in by my housemate accidentally and we had a good chat and he was full of information about our troublesome neighbour which was really good to know. This neighbour also knows our landlord and he told me he’s fine with me and my housemate which was good to know so that’s a positive for us in that regard. Overall, I’m really happy with how things have turned out!
I’ve also tried to think happy positive thoughts about how things are going in my life and the things I’m concerned about and I’ve been trying to smile when I feel things are making me anxious as a way of calming myself down. Even just simply making myself smile when I’ve been knitting a blanket for charity today has helped improve my mood which I think is a good thing as it’s making me think of positive things which I often find difficult to do when I have periods of depression so that’s an achievement for me in that regard. I have to accept that there are certain things I can’t change and which I have no control over like how people act and behave but there are also things I can control such as my thoughts, feelings and behaviours and one of those things just happens to be trying to smile and think positive when things are tough or not perfect at the present time. I hope to slowly work on and build up this skill of mind so it becomes more easily to do and achieve.
Sending positive thoughts and vibes!
