I thought I would start a positivity thread to help people feel more positive about themselves, their lives, their day or their week.

When we focus on the negative too much, we can become more negative. If we can find one positive thing in our day, or two or three even, and focus on those, we can feel more positive about ourselves & our lives.

On my happiness FB page, I like to encourage people to go to bed with at least one positive thought for the day. I also like to start my day with positive thoughts, no matter what has happened the day before.

So, what happened today or this week that has been positive for you?

Or, are there any quotes you want to share that inspire you to feel more positive?

Share anything you wish.... large or small, quotes, gifs, stories, etc!

I'll start. After a shaming type of comment my therapist made the other night, I am now wondering if she truly is the right therapist for me. I am questioning how helpful she's truly been after two years of therapy with her, and whether I am getting out of it what I need.

This is a positive for me since I really want to heal my oldest wounds, I want to grow and change for the better. I don't think she's truly helping me with that cause. And I finally am seeing this after all this time.

Now may be the time to find a better fit. Leaving a bad therapist and finding a better one will help me tremendously on my journey of recovery. What I want and need. A positive!!!

This is my kind of thinking, every evening I find one good thing and every morning I find another.
Yesterday evening, I posted off an important letter and told myself it was right to do so. This morning I told myself that the past week went very well.

I have been searching for eucalyptus to put in my home because the smell is soothing for me. I finally found some today! And while I didn't find it at Walmart, I got 4 small vases there for $5 so when I did find it, I had vases to break the bouquets into and position all over the house! It was a pretty chill day today and that's a good thing. Also, I'm proud of myself for not flipping out with the office staff when I was trying to get help with my neighbor who had his stereo up really loud. If I have to deal with those kinds of things when I'm feeling ill or in pain, I am not very patient. But today, even though it was giving me a migraine, I was able to exercise patience with everyone about it. So that made me feel good about myself.

In the face of a self-esteem hit I took, these quotes helped me to feel better about myself this morning:

I got an email saying when my New Coke will ship, and when it should arrive. I was terribly stressed I wouldn’t be able to get it at all. It was a ridiculous unnecessary amount of stress I was dealing with over this.

Despite my poor health condition I made it through the whole day, managed to work the whole day plus take care of myself. My client/boss, who I filled in on what's going on, said that she didnt notice me being slow or anything and was proud of me for managing myself. She also helped me prioritize my week so I can feel successful even though I'm struggling health wise.

My niece’s high school tennis team made it to state championship and she is leaving for it tomorrow to compete Friday morning, about 3 hours away. Her graduation ceremony is on Sunday so this is her last tournament as a high schooler! Fingers crossed for good game on Friday!!!

I overcame my initial, anxiety-riddled response to a request made for certain articles of clothing to be laundered, and a button re-attached to a pair of pants...the anxiety was a surprise, it was mixed with resentment and resistance. (And that's all got a long back-story to it; so I'll just keep it simple, here.)

Not only did I get not just 1, but 2 loads of laundry done, I reattached the button with my usual neat, exacting, and dependable hand sewing skill. (That button is going NOWHERE!)

I finished these tasks in good time, and did not feel bitter or resentful anymore. I actually felt pretty good.

This, for me, is a ginormous positive.

I went shopping yesterday and was looking at a pair of pants in my current size, and thought they just looked far too big. So I bought a size smaller. And they fit! I dropped another pant size! Yay!
