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!!!

Woke up in a good mood

[Ford Puma]

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.

Got out to the garden to water this morning with my husband and dog, we all enjoyed just getting out of the house a awhile.

My true religion jeans came today and they actually fit.

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.

I did some work on my saCRYLIC eascape painting. Its a bridge with the sky of early evening ie pinks, shades of blue, reflected in the choppy water below.

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

I feel good this morning everything is going well this week so far

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.

Nice day outside to have coffee on my patio

I am working on strengthening my boundaries. I feel proud of myself because this has been much needed in my life.

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!!!

Got myself up this morning in a 'This is going to be a good day mode'

Nice walk with the dog this morning

[MuseumGhost]

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.

Took the dog out for a walk this morning

[seesaw]

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!

[Taylor27]

Got out for a couple walks today

Yes. I was out with an aquaintance and I ran into someone else. Now, I am not particularly friendly with this person but he is an extrovert and excited to be back in the area and so we talked.

I have to mention this person is devastatingly handsome. A god. At least 50% of the time while talking to him I had to remind myself not to stare. But he is the kind of guy who doesn't seem to really be effected by it. He is either unaware of his looks or doesn't care.

Had my acquaintance just come over to chat, and I was actually hoping she would, I would have introduced her but she ran off.

The rest of the day she was remarking on it and seemed a little miffed.

We are both too old to really be scoping for guys but it is always wonderful when a very good looking guy wants to talk to you and it makes others envious even for a second.

A woman friend and I enjoyed watching "John Wick3 Parabellem"

Nice walk with the dog so quite outside

I had a very fun night with my husband.
