Christmas Loungeroom

Reflecting on the year that we have all had is a good idea if we concentrate on the positives first - that is something I am really learning to do @BlueBay @MDT. I think we get so bogged down in the things that have gone wrong and then we dwell on them too much - then the positives in our life seem to take a back seat. Reflections on the year can and should include both but often our brains are hard wired to concentrate on the negatives - one of the benefits of focussing more on the positives is we can retrain our brain to look for them first but that does take practice.

Hugs @MDT ❤️

@Zoe7 It’s very difficult to concentrate on positives because you’re right our brains are hard wired to see the negatives. Well I know mine does all the time. I can never see any positives and if someone tells me something positive about myself I quickly dispel what they’ve said.

I agree it does take a lot of practice xxx

I understand @Shaz51

I don’t want to go anywhere tomorrow either and probably won’t. 💜🌷🌸

Thanks @MDT

Thinking of you too.

I haven’t been able to read much on the forums today, or for a while. Feeling overwhelmed. Just back from overseas last night. Long story. Probably not for this thread. 👋☕️🌺

Not sure what this thread is all about, to be honest @TAB

Is it a celebration one, or one for people not coping with the big “C” occasion?

😬🙃🤔💃🕺🎩

for us to bee together @Former-Member , that is what the thread is about

thank you my friend @Former-Member, @Zoe7, @TAB, @BlueBay, @MDT

Yes it is for us to be together at this time of year @Former-Member - whether you are into christmas or completely ignre it - it is a place that you can be either and more importantly feel connected and in the company of others that care
