Thinking of having a Positive Affirmations chat every week. How many of you would attend, and if you would attend, what time of day/night/day of week would you be available for it? Poll is from today, 7-6-10 through 7-11-10. Your comments/thoughts about this subject would be welcome!

Thank you so much!

I think that would be a great idea. Anytime you want to have it is fine with me. My schedule is fairly flexible, yet complicated, and always changing. I think we all need to do Positive Affermations to help us get out of our funk. If you think ..., therefore you believe ... . I would definately try to come to this chat.

Sorry to be so dumb, but what is Positive Affirmation?

Take care.

I added the poll feature for you Jewell

[Jewels]

thanks bebop...I didn't know how to do that part of it...LOL...

Ygrec...positive affirmations are things that you say to/about yourself that are positive in nature...like...I am a good person, I am worthwhile, I am...they are things that help you think better of yourself...

((((Jewels))))

I think that would be great. I would be there as much as possible. Just let me know when you are having it. We all need to work on the positives as we are walking this road to healing. So many times we are dealing with so much that to take a moment to reflect on the positves and the things in our lives that we have is a good thing to do.

Positive Affirmations:

Positive sentences repeated many times in order to impress the subconscious mind and trigger it into action.

It is important because many times in helping one another feel better we are also helping ourselves feel better. So many times just taking time to breath and see those things that many times we cannot see for the clouds hovering gives us hope and in sharing that hope we can sometimes just catch that breath for the moment and pass it along.

Thank you jewels for this. I look forward to coming.

This is a super idea for a chat.
If I wasn't afraid of chat, I would go.

ygrec ...to quote Stuart Smalley from SNL : “You're good enough, you're smart enough and gosh darn it people like you”) type affirmations.

I don't do schedules really well ... and never mornings. Whatever you pick I'll put a reminder on and try to catch it.

I think this chat is a great idea. I voted yes on the poll.

we dont think we could come but we think its a good idea for everyone else

[Gus1234U]

I could sure use a group to restructure my thoughts into a more Bliss Affirming format~~! I'm here in the evenings, 10 pm Eastern time usually. I know that's late, but it's after my nap ;-).

[Rhiannonsmoon]

I can't attend but I hope it is well attended,

pushing back up for poll...please vote if you would like to have a positive affirmations chat...remember you can only vote once...!

I would definetly love to come if it worked with my schedule. Usually nights work best for me.

[forgivexforget]

I would definitely attend this. :]

[eskielover]

What a wonderful idea.....I think this would be great as it would expand our thoughts to more & more different positive affirmations. I remember having a group therapy while in the hospital once that worked on this. I even bought many post cards that had positive affirmations on them to post them around my room so that I would constantly be reminded.....definitely a great idea to share in a chat.

Only time I'm not available is all day Sundays or Tuesdays & of course, Thursday night. Like JD, I am terrible with schedules & have a tendency to forget when things are going on even with my calendar & date book that I keep with me at all times. Sometimes I think that mornings are the best time because I don't get involved in anything first that distracts me or that I get involved with before the thing that I want to do.....but sometimes I tend to oversleep which can be a problem when I am really exhausted.....but mostly, I try to put everything in my calendar book & try to look at it daily to know what I have to do that day.

What ever works best for everyone else, I will try to work it into my schedule.....I think this is a wonderful idea for all of us here at PC. Thank you for suggesting the idea & offering to lead the chat

Darkrunner,

Maybe this would be a nice slow chat for you to start out with. A chat group is much nicer to be a part of than the public chats where everyone comes & goes & comes & goes & it just gets crazy. Starting out with the few people on the ground floor of an organized chat group is much less stressful & everyone is so very helpful it becomes like a little family as we get to know each other. When more people join in, the family grows a little, but the same comfortable feeling with the core group of people always exists. It's a real great way of starting to get comfortable in chat.....actually, it's the only chat's I feel comfortable in even after 5 years of trying to feel ok with going into chat......hope you might give it at least a try to see if you might feel comfortable in a nice small safe group......

popping this up for voters to register their vote before Sunday ends!

popping up...

I think this is a wonderful idea!

So many times we are dealing with such pain and illness and we really need to find the time to do something good for ourselves and others.

Positive Affirmations can evolve to mean more than just "I am a good person" (which is a great thing to affirm!). I know when I first started working with these, all I could manage was coming up with something positive I saw during my day like a cashier smiling at me, or my dog listened to me and didn't run in the road. May sound silly, but heck, it's a start!

If I have time to attend, I would love to! No, change that, I will MAKE time to attend!

Thank you Jewels!

[Jewels]

thank you sabby...that means a lot to me...i thoroughly enjoyed being with dps doing that initial chat...it was a lot of fun, and I thought why not do another one? or make it a regular time of affirming each other and teaching others that affirmations can be a part of their everyday lives! Looks like it will become a good chat, and people can be validated for doing something good rather than out of a sense of necessity. I just have to decide when to have it...seems like it would be a good Friday chat, give everybody something to think about for the weekend. I guess I will have to play around with the times to see when we get the most people to come. I'll be glad to see you anytime you want to join us!

[Jewels]

only a day left to vote for the chat!!!
