Hello everyone!!! It's almost the end of 2016! This means, 2017 is coming!! It is a new year, new start, and a hopeful year.

At the turn of the year, let's take sometime to think about what are the things we did? Improvment? Positive news?

Every 10 things you list, then also think about what are 3 things we could do better in next year to make our life even better?

Remeber, everything little thing is important!! Let yourself you know that you are lovable! And how amazing that you've come to here!

Let's start with an example:

Things I did great~


Try to go to bed before 12:00 PM

Make new friends

Take new challenges

Make daily plans and try to follow the plans

Hang our on 7cups a lot

Now~ it's your turn :D <3

Positive things I've done in 2016:

1. Reached out to another person to talk any time I felt sad or anxious.

2. Started monitoring my mood again using Optimism app (x).

3. Ran and took walks in the woods during summer evenings to clear my thoughts.

4. Posted in the Depression Daily Check-ins (x).

5. Started reading books again.

6. Stayed honest and allowed myself to be vulnerable in various human interactions.

7. Tried new creative things, e.g. making origami and filming a movie.

8. Created happy memories being with my family and friends and put myself in situations where I met new people.

9. Was self-compassionate and forgive myself mistakes I made along the way.

10. Stayed vigilant and survived this year without any major relapse.

Things I can work on in the New Year:

1. Write more regularly in my journal.

2. Have a better sleep schedule - wake up at 8 or 9am.

3. Drink more water, because I'm chronically dehydrated.

@Celaeno, good for you! You accomplished a lot this past year. I definitely want to journal more this coming year. I may be changing up how I journal because I've recently started looking into and experimenting with art journals. This photo is of my first two. They don't have muchin them yet.



I just checked out that Optimism app. I like all of the different information you can log and that you can make other notes. I think I'm going to add that app to my routine. *dashes away for a minute and returns* Ha! Just paused commenting to add it to my Balanced app. cheeky Something else to check off and make me happy. wink And I've already gotten to cross it off once. *does happy dance*

I have nothing positive, I am in a toxic relationship and my living situation is awful ! I am trying to make a change, but it will take a while, I don't know if I can hang in long enough, I don't want to let my anger take over and have no place to go. I really need to get a plan in place, I have had it , this lady doesn't care much for my kids , she tells then to shut up!
