Okay, so I remember having this idea AGES ago, and recently noticed people have started a 'Positive Book', to help them feel more optimistic when they feel pessimistic.
So, what is a Positive Book?! :chin:
To me (and this could vary between people). A Positive Book is where you can record things, such as;
Recording things like this can help us start to feel more optimistic. When you feel down, you can read through it, and the smirks of a smile will soon be taking shape, and you may even giggle to yourself.
What you need;
REMEMBER; this is YOUR space to a more optimistic outcome. YOU are special. YOU are beautiful... and YOU can do ANYTHING you want to when you're more optimistic!!
One to get you started; ''Chin up, chin up, everybody loves a happy face. Wear it. Have it. It'll brighten up the darkest place. Twinkle, sparkle, let a little sunshine in. You'll be on the right side, looking at the bright side, up with your chinny-chin-chin.'' - Charlotte's Web
Good Luck!

- Positive/Inspirational/Motivation Quotes
- Photos
- Drawings
- Song Lyrics
- The Positive things people see and think of, YOU

What you need;
- Notepad (any size A4/A5/A6)
- Coloured Pens! (Making it bright and colourful makes it more positive)
- Quotes, Pictures, Memories, Things that make YOU happy! (You can find these on the internet, or you can ask friends, family members etc to give you their favorite quote)
- A quiet space! (Having a quiet space can help you relax, and think more positively then being congested with negative vibes around you)
- Finally, put on some really upbeat, positive music! This will get you jazzing!
- (You can use lots of glitter as well to make is sparkly!)

"A sad face never sold a sausage" ... that makes me giggle everytime I hear it!!
I love the idea
I know this is quite an old thread but was just pointed this way by another member. I think these positive books sound great! I might try one out myself. The only problem is, I find it difficult to carry on doing things after I start (I get bored quite easily) but we shall see!
Definitely worth a try if you're wanting to.. We could try to help keep you motivated about it if you do decide to start one
Thanks butterfly. I am going out tomorrow to get a notebook so will probably start it tomorrow night xx
Reading these when I feel poor and/or worthless really boosts my mood significantly.
Thanks for sharing!
shall deffo try this
