Tomi,
I try to do that everyday. It can be hard, though. The funk I've been in lately really brought home to me how much better I've been and how low I can get. It was a true wake up call.
I've been tryingt hard not to let things trigger me. As I posted before, I know I must move to survive, so I've been working actively on that. I've gone to the Dr to get help with my meds, I've slept longer, and taken good advice more. I've allowed others that I truly trust to guide me along when I couldn't see the path, much less walk it. I have tried to take care of myself and trusted others to protect and help me when I couldn't fend for myself. With one exception, all of those people are here on this website.
I've been listening to new music, courtesy of my twin, looking interesting things up on the computer, ignoring rude people who aggravate me and sometimes even just laying down and thinking - actually thinking about things. My friend who is not from here came and got me and took me to his house in the country. I saw calves, horses, chickens, cats, dogs, rabbits, trees in spring flowers and all the things I love. It refreshed my soul.
It matches what you said exactly. Leave the negative and immerse yourself in the positive.
