The more you think positive, the more you will think positive. What I am trying to say is. It takes a long time to change negative thinking. Don't beat yourself up for being human. We learn and grow one day at a time. Put positive thoughts up on your wall, mirror, by your bed etc. After awhile it will become easier. -

Hi! We are hear to listen to you. I agree it takes sometimes for positive thoughts to develop, positive thinking is a habit. I call it a type of sport, yes it is like a sport you have to practice it more often until you become good at it. Learn all its tricks etc. It is a process though i must say. Sometimes there is a relapse of negative thoughts, it think it depends on what one is dealing with at that moment. It is called being human, it is normal but do not let it get it to you. I would like to share with you how i respond to my negative thoughts especial when i am really down or in pain. I tell myself this is just a phase and it will get better, that way i get my mind to start working positvely already. I start doing things that can brighten up my days. Although the body might be in pain, i think we should try to feed our souls.You are a greater than negative thoughts and you can overcome it. Look for a support system which is great thing that you are on Daily strength. Your illness does not have you, you have the illness and you are greater than the illness( a friend told me that). Look at the positive side of life, the people in your life that encourages you. The peole that you encourage everyday should also be an insipiration to you, by encouraging you put a smile on someone's face and that will make you smile too. Although you might be in pain some days, do things that you like most write poems, listen to good music.
I hope that helps , Keep well. -

I've put up my favourite thougths, quotes and affirmations on the back of one of my kitchen doors as that door is always open and therefore no-one sees them but me! If I didn't put them on that door and read them regularly I would forget them and they would have been of no use to me. I read them regularly or when I need emotional support. Survivable is responsible for many of them and so many have come from the internet. A friend things my affirmation door is cute but not really workable, well maybe not for her but that door works for me and I do what works and not what suits smeone else. Take care. -

Ziporah, i also do that , i have put up alot of writing on my walls. Positive poems, insipiring stories. I read through them each day, not necessarily all of them, even just a verse from one is good enough to keep me going. It also helps alot to count your blessings . You will be surprised how many people on earth would wish they will have what you have. Imagine this, a sick person, homeless, with no food, no support, who is an orphan. There are quite alot of people like that, who knows only their street as a home,no medical aid. who would probably want to talk to someone but have no-one and they go through life , more than anything else those are the people that keeps me grounded in life. Life is a challege, we have to try to live it against all odds.
Let me share a true story of a women in my cycle that i know of, she is a family friend. This woman's story gives me shivers. This woman lost both her parents and her only brother within a period of five years. Mother died of heart attach, father was run over by a car, the brother in a car accident. That is not all she got married to a wonderful man, disaster followed, her husband died later on(asthma attach). She was left alone with the only son they ever had, later on the son also died. This woman is now in her fourties , she lost almost everybody close to her heart, she cant bear children anymore because her reproduction years are over. And everytime i see her she has such a huge smile on her face. I asked her: what keeps her going she responds: The power of GOD, perhaps this has happened to me so that i can be a testimony to others that against all odds, life should go on. I must agree that there might be storms at times. There is always sunshine after the rain.
UUps that is along story , but i thought it helps to look at other people's situations, it can be done, we can make peace with difficult situations. It is a process there may relapses along the way(human nurture).
Take care all... I am so glad i am part of DS, it keeps me insipered :)
