Name 1 positive thing that you did today for yourself
Hey! I'm back.... ha ha, after a long hiatus. Anyhow, the blues got to me and a bit of anxiety here and there and everywhere.
Thank you everyone for your participation in the previous post of 'Name 1 positive thing that happened to you'. As the 1 positive thing that happened to you is kind of passive and that you don't have any control over what happens to you, I'd like to start "Season 2" of the "Name 1 thing" series with 'Name 1 positive thing that you did today for YOURSELF' and this places full control in your hands. This way you can choose to focus on yourself to love and care for yourself a little bit more today.
Once again, let me start the ball rolling. I've read a chapter of the book by Howard Marks ; 'The most important thing' to expand my knowledge. I haven't been reading consistently and am always distracted by many other distractions hence, this is, I feel, the 1 positive thing I did for myself today.
Feel free to blabber.... 😀
@Hopey9831 Hello :D
Glad to see you! Reading does count as a positive so Good job<3 I got some craft papers, I'll make something from it or just decorate my journal so that'll be a positive I do for myself.
Hope you have a great day and be so fast that the blues don't catch up again ^^
@BlueDarkAurora

👌💪
@Hopey9831 Thank you so much! Yeah let's go *-* <3 <3
@BlueDarkAurora
Hey! It's you, the first to reply to my post again ! Ha ha....just like the previous post.
I had a wonderful time talking to an elderly woman on my last day doing this job. She was definitely my favorite old lady. We always got along and had a similar wavelength. I am not allowed to contact her on my free time so it saddened me to tell her that this will be the last time we meet, to which she said "then do it in secret stupid". Some people are just rays of sunshine if you get to know them well.
@FrugalTony
Hey ! Not many people find the time nor understand the pleasures of communicating with the elderly, I'm glad you found both ! And to acknowledge that both of you have a similar wavelength is amazing simply because of the generation gaps that exists. The fact that she asked you to go behind in staying in contact with her, shows just how much she desires and appreciates your company.
It is really a positive thing that you did for yourself today because you opened up, cared and let someone into your heart, regardless of the other person's age. 🤗🫰 And that ray of sunshine just beamed right into your heart ! 💗
May the force be with you ! and that cute little elderly lady ! 😍
@Hopey9831 Hey,
Thanks for such a positive reply my friend. I have indeed started to really enjoy the company of others as the years go by and I left my depressive life behind. I'm still unemployed right now but today I had a job interview and I think it's likely I'm going to get the job. It's a continuation and with the same people too. I won't be able to meet elderly anymore on a regular basis, but instead I'll be the one sending new people to them.
i brushed my teeth today! :3?
@angelismyname
Hey ! That surely is a positive thing you did for yourself today! We only have that 1 set of teeth you know and we really have to take care of them well, so that they last a helluva looooong timmeeeeee. Any dental work is just expensive and painful 😮💨 I'm really glad that you brushed your teeth today ! Well done ! Make sure you do it, every single day ! 🤪
May the force be with you ! and you teeth ! 🦷
@Hopey9831 - I was really tired and wanted to stay in bed and sleep a little longer but I went to the gym and went harder than I would normally go. My legs are a bit sore but it will be beneficial in the long run.
@BethMH12
Hey ! Absolutely Brilliant !
Being able to distinguish between what is beneficial in the short term and beneficial in the long term is one of the factors of successfully achieving a goal. What's more important is being able to say no to that instant gratification, which may make you happy right now, but detour you in reaching that goal of yours. Well done for recognizing that something that will be beneficial in the long run and congratulations for seeing it through!
May the force be with you ! 😍
@Hopey9831 I went to Dollar Tree and bought myself junk.
@blueWalker1241
Hey ! There's kind of a negative connotation to the word 'junk'. But, there's also like junk food and junk bonds for example. They are there to fulfil a purpose for one man's trash is another man's treasure. So the 'junk' you bought from the Dollar store, serves to serve you, though you refer to it as junk. I'm sure there's a reason why you bought it and that it must be a positive action you did for yourself today.
The question we need to ask ourselves every day is how is this a positive for me ?
I do apologize if I am blabbering.... forgive me. May the force be with you ! 😀
Did cardio
@NoJudgingNoAdvising
Hiya ! That's wonderfully positive for your body ! Having the motivation to ensure that you maintain a strong and healthy body is essential and I'm glad that you did cardio. I can't seem to find that motivation 😅
May the force be with you !
May god bless you with the best of this life
Thank you for the wishes
@Hopey9831 I relaxed when I got home and drank some coffee
I ate two meals, does that count?
I skipped breakfast again but I decided to get lunch today, does this count?
@MagnusCh4se
Hi ya ! Why doesn't it count ? I eat 2 meals too ! and I often skip breakfast ... lol My take on this is 2 meals a day, as long as you feel it's sufficient, it's sufficient. I mean, if eating 2 meals a day makes you faint and weak, it's probably not suitable. But if you're maintaining a healthy body weight and feeling more alert, why not ?
It's better than overeating, I reckon. The middle way is the best. 😀😍 Let me know your thoughts ?
And as always, may the force be with you !
