Daily Positive Thoughts Community Group
Please join our group if you would like to receive a daily message of positive thoughts such as an affirmation, quote, a one line joke, etc. We will also post things about cognitive therapy. You are welcome to come every day and read our daily positive thoughts if you do not want to receive them by message.
"You attract what you think" - this is one of my favorites. I certainly do not what to attract any more negative to my life so I quickly start trying to remember the positives going on, and my Gratitude journal. It helps to read and remind myself of things that I am grateful for, and what positive goals that I have set for myself.
"You are a reflection of your friends" - I am a good listener, and people take advantage of that to a point of calling daily with their troubles and drama. Many do not want to improve their lives, they enjoy the drama too much. I have had to explain that I can not be constantly bombarded with negative 24/7. Some people actually started calling with positive news. They start out saying "I have good news today.". In a small way I think I opened the eyes of some of my friends and they are trying to find more positives now. Don't misunderstand, if someone needs to vent, I am there. We all need to vent sometimes. I am talking about the "Drama Queens" who can not get through a day without living in their world of drama.
I am sorry that you hit with that "negative brick wall". I think we all hit it, that is why I keep different saying around me to help me remember to try positive self talk. It does not always work but I try. You are reaching out trying to grasp onto the positive, that is a good thing, don't be disappointed in yourself, you need to be your best cheerleader. It is OK and healthy to have a 5 minute pity party. But you have to set a limit on your pity party so you can move on and focus on the positives.
Wishing you lots of positive moments. Stay strong and keep fighting to surround yourself with positives, it will work. The goal is to have more positive moments than negative ones. No one can be positive all the time, that is why this is such a great group. The daily positive thoughts help build more positive moments.
