One positive thought a day

Image result for start each day with a positive thought

Hey everyone, 

We recently had a weekly challenge about sharing one positive thing about your day. I thought this would make a nice thread for the Positivity Corner :) 

Try and think of one positive thing about your day, no matter how small your positive thought might be, share it with us all below :) 

- Aife
Maybe somethings don't get better, but we do. We get stronger. We learn to live with our situations as messy and ugly as they are. We fix what we can and we adapt to what we can't. Maybe some of us will never fully be okay, but at least we're here. We're still trying. We're doing the best we can. That's worth celebrating too ❤

They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be.

    I told myself I will write in here today, today turned into sort of 1 in the morning. My first positive though was my exam went well this morning (won't say i nearly fainted and fell down the stairs 😂). My second positive though was how lucky am I to have friends who care about me and love to be around me as well as making me laugh. We each have that person in are life we just might not of met them yet.

And i had a lot of lovely customer today speaking to me which was really nice

    I found out Ive been nominated employee of the year! I was really shocked to find out as ive been in hospital a lot in the last few months and felt like I was letting work down by not showing up, but looks like they noticed I was making as much effort as I could to go in, even if I wasn't feeling up too it :)

    I'm trying to think of a positive but I caved in with my anxiety and went to the doctors today.

    I guess the positive is I was honest about my anxiety and she gave me some things to help and told me to come back for some medication if counselling doesn't work 💕

    I'm really liking my image at the moment; feeling really comfortable in my own skin. I also got more on top of planning my work over the past couple of days. :)

    Got my first essay results back today, it's doesn't say the words pass, merit or distinction but the words 'a really good piece of work that describes, explains and comments critically on rock on roll and it's development.' What is all 3 of the area of the assignment brief. Only 1 area to be changed what I am made up about. 

     @Mike I do like your at the moment. Makes me want to change mine to something more colourful

    Half way through decorating my room 😊




    Nearly painted all m room. Dont tell me to take a picture of behind the bed ;) laziness to the extreme ahhaha. Obviously need new curtains cause they’re horrible and not even mine and need to decorate it more so don’t look so plain and going to make me dressing table look better and I want a bed frame again. but im pretty proud of how is going so far.

    I’ve started writing my CV and feel better and seeing all the things I have actually achieved like in school but written down seemed like quite a lot and quite good. And achieved more than feel I have

    I have made it through January! Yay! 

    Also my positive thought for the day is that I have a snow day off college and used the afternoon to do some work at home instead. I have stayed safe today and not self harmed. 
    The sun will rise and we will try again
