Good moments 🌈
hey everyone, i'm creating this space for myself to come to every day, hopefully, and share my good moments. ✨
when i say 'good moment', it doesn't mean i have to feel happy or anything. it could be anything that made me feel a tiny bit better or something that made me feel good for a little bit. it could even be something that happened that's supposed to be good, even if it didn't change how i feel. or if i'm having a particularly bad day, a good moment could be a moment when i just didn't feel that horrific. and of course, it could be a moment when i just somehow magically feel fine for a bit, with no apparent cause. magic, lol. 🪄
i've recently realised that thinking of good moments makes every day feel a tiny bit different, instead of every day feeling the same and having that school, homework, exam, eat, sleep, repeat cycle going on. when i'm depressed and have been for months on end, it's really easy to just see that and forget the good that does occasionally come. perhaps after a while of posting on this thread, i might even be able to go back and read previous good moments when i'm feeling awful.
i know that every time i try to feel better and actually get to feeling better, it eventually comes crashing down soon and i feel bad again. but i guess i'll try to feel better anyway by focusing on the good moments. and when i do get to feeling better, i want to make the best of it and use it to get work done, so that the times when it gets bad again don't affect my schoolwork too much.
i will really try to come here every day and post something, even if it's very small and seems insignificant, even if i feel like i didn't have anything good happen that day. and if i ever have a miracle day when i have a lot of good moments, i'll try my best to list them all out for me to read on the awful days that follow (somehow my really good days are always followed by some really bad ones, and it sucks). if i ever miss a day of posting, i will try to post that day's good moments the next day.
i know that sometimes i will need to mention the bad stuff too here, to be able to explain why something was a good moment, but in general, i will try my best to avoid talking too much about the bad on this thread.
thank you, @bestVase7265, for encouraging me to write down my good moments. this idea of yours has been of a lot of help to me. i hope it works well with this thread for posting good moments. feel free to follow along and read whatever good i find every day, and share yours too (only if you'd like to, of course. you can always just stick to our space if you wish). 🤍🤍
anyone else reading this is welcome to share their good moments as well, i'd love to hear them. wishing you all the best. 💙
saturday (1st feb): i've had such a good day today, filled with countless good moments. just an amazing day. it's a lot to type though, so i'm not sure if i can list everything out.
i woke up at 7 am and realised how quickly i had fallen asleep last night. i has just gotten into bed and opened up this good moments thread on the phone, so i could type in something. and i had fallen asleep like that. the phone fell out of my hand, my bedside light stayed on all night. and i got such good sleep. of course, i turned the light off and went back to sleep for another hour and a half, but yeah. in the end i got almost 7.5 hours of sleep, which is the longest i've slept in weeks.
when my mother woke me up today, i thought it was gonna be a horrible day because i felt so irritated and she wasn't being nice either. but she calmed down and started being nice and that really turned around my mood and literally my whole day. she started being really nice and my mother and i have had lots of good time together today.
i cleaned up my room today, as in changing my bedsheets and dusting. changing the sheets is quite a task, but my mother helped me a bit with it and that was good. also, my bed looks quite nice with fresh sheets. also, while i was doing it, i got all my pillows down on the floor and when i was tired i just could just lay down on them for a bit before changing the pillowcases as well.
i had oiled my hair last night, and today i washed it and cut/trimmed it. it took a lot of time and effort, but i love how it turned out. at first, i thought i messed up the trimming, but after washing it again and towel drying it, i thought it looked quite good. when my hair dried completely, i honestly loved it and thought my hair looked so fluffy and shiny and felt so soft and silky. i love it. i think it really needed the cut because my hair has been a disaster since the last time i cut it, but it looks and feels good now.
i gotta go now. will type the rest tomorrow if i get time.
So glad that you had a pretty successful day. Those are already so nice because they give you a place to breathe.
You got some sleep! Just awesome. Maybe the fact that you ended your day with plans for writing on here helped you fall asleep faster. You had good thoughts to end your day on rather than bad ones. Doing that actively can really help.
And some nice time with your mom! What a blessing that she was kind today. Glad it felt a little healing and you got a clean bed and nice hair out of it! @exuberantBlackberry9105
And I forgot to do mine again. It was probably going on a walk. We went to a park and there were literally hundreds of yellow-rumped warblers, a very tiny bird that moves really fast. My binoculars really helped in seeing and enjoying them. @bestVase7265
sunday (2nd feb): really have no time for this so i'll just say my hair feels good today. and i didn't have to visit the temple today which is a good thing because i thought i'd have to go.
and today evening when everything hurt and i felt awful, i decided to take a nap since i got only 4.5 hours of sleep at night. i ended up sleeping for about 1.5 hours in the evening, without even asking my mother. when she discovered me sleeping, somehow she wasn't mad. and i just felt so much better after sleeping. i felt fresh and for a moment, forgot all the pain and everything that happened.
i do have more good stuff. but it's 2:35 am. bye bye.
Great job writing this good mini message. Hopefully it set you up for some more relaxed sleep.
My good moment today was lunch when we had some mango fruit bowls. I do like mango a great deal and it felt like I was eating healthy. @exuberantBlackberry9105
