Hmmm, I will try this too, something positive......

I survived another day of fitness boot camp and felt good about jumping rope, running, lifting weights and crawling around on the ground and being able to keep up with the class.

I saw my nephew today

I get Friday off from work

Re: 3 Positive Things

Peanut, I **love** this thread!

Straight out of my personal bible of surviving (lots of stuff that get me very down) - and I want to add as often as I can.

(I've save this thread to my Favourites).

For now, my three favourites things are:

1. Singing aloud the song 'Oklahoma' (can't stay sad and sing that song)

2. Imagining myself sitting in a room talking with people in a quietly adult and intelligent way - paticularly academic, philosophical subjects such as atheism (I'm a Spiritualist - but Atheists hold much better discussions) and Philosophy of Maths (I'm not knowledgable but am very drawn to it

3. Imaging (again) looking into the eyes of Eckhart Tolle when he'snot talking, and sharing the quietness there.

... there's lots of things... Maybe next time I'll find some that relate more to the restoration of real-life dilemmas :

For now,

amastie

Re: 3 Positive Things

HeyHeyHey,
Thanks for your rep and post Amastie. It lightened up my day outside of melancholy. It can be a real trick and a brutalizing snake pit some days.
Stay cheerful though, gotta perservere ... frowns upside down, Joey123

Re: 3 Positive Things

Thanks Sparrow.

I watched an episode of Oprah Winfrey on pay tv today in which she three guests all talking about the power of positive thinking. It's absolutely true. Three things, only three things, is such a lovely tease :happy:

Today's three things:

1. Had a great conversation with someone whose world is full and involved with others in lots of simple and valuable ways.

2. Shared with my brother again. It's so good after years of discord.

3. I watch my dog on his bed and know that, despit my limiations, he is cared for with love.

For now,

amastie

Re: 3 Positive Things

Today's three positive things:

1. Recognizing the importance of finding positive things
2. Finding that I quieten inside when I start to consider three positive things
3. Feeliong more powerful, and self-contained when I consider finding three positive things - even though no one specific thing occurs to right now *except* that inner preparedness to accept positive in my life. (Not at all a small thing!)

I might look around for other forums in which are shared positive insights.

My best wishes to all,

amastie
