Daily positives

Hi everyone, will so much happening atm i think nows a good time to try to find some positives in the day. i know how extremely challanging this might be on some days but even if its something as simple as reading a chapter of your favourite book, doing a study session, making a cup of tea and sitting outside, painting your nails, washing your car or whatever might come to mind. it really doesnt have to be big.

i would encourage everyone to just pop in here and write each day something/s good that has happened for you in the day!

Re: Daily positives

Awww @Delicatessen ,

It melts my heart to see someone speak of their sibling as "beautiful, kind and wise". I'm now thinking how much I take my siblings for granted! Thanks for the reminder!

As for your hiking, go for it! Immerse yourself in nature and make the most of it. Sounds thrilling. I'd be excited to see photos of your surroundings when you do end up going (provided these photos do not show people to preserve anonymity).

But yes, I'm thinking of you and care about you as one in our forums family,

Re: Daily positives

Hey @Delicatessen ,

Great to hear you are having an awesome weekend.

I think my body is a little run down because I had a very stressful week last week. So I'm sort of feeling a bit unwell. I've had two RATs each day, so I know it's not COVID.

Whatever it is, I'm so glad I made it through last week.

Catchya later @Delicatessen - hope tomorrow will be just as good as today!

Re: Daily positives

Not good to hear you’ve been a bit rundown @tyme.

A few years back I took on the practice (in my head only - I didn’t share) of noticing the “moments”. These are good things that happen no matter how small or how often they occur. And they’re free.

Making myself privately acknowledge them helps me keep my head above water when I feel down. And it gave me a new perspective.

I’m not an expert at it and still have to remind myself to do it.

It’s nice to be able to share this with someone. One of the benefits of this site I guess…

Hi @Delicatessen @outlander @ArraDreaming @Shaz51 @tyme @Daisydreamer @Former-Member @hanami and all forumites here. I hope you are well.

My daily positive today has been spending time working on my crochet granny square blanket which I find to be really relaxing and enjoyable. It’s helping me with my mental health so that’s also a positive as well.

Take care!

Judi9877☺️💐

Re: Daily positives

Hi @Judi9877

I have only crocheted very badly - holes everywhere! I would so have loved to do knitting but it’s not to be.

I started Easter today with a long hike early this morning in nearby bushlands. When I started there were only two other people I passed on the track. I felt really at peace and calm. I’m certain this is good for me both mentally and physically.

Then I went home and had a coffee and a home made hot cross bun (it was awful). Oh well.

Happy Easter Everyone!!
