A Positive Affirmation.
Living with depression without medication can be tuff. I personally have to set time for myself in the mornings to prepare myself for the day. Some days I have an hour or so and other days I give myself at least 15 minutes to just enjoy a short period of peace and focus on the tasks that I have to do for the day.
I prepare myself by quoting positive affirmations to myself and thinking about the meaning of each one. I was thinking about 1 in paticular this morning, 1 that I use quite often.
( Live every day like it's your last. )
For me personally I realized that this paticular quote isn't really that positive. These words have meaning to me that kinda scare me a bit. I started to worry about my mortality.
Knowing that this isn't a great way to start my day I decided to focus on something else. I thought about what's the best way to look at day to day challenges, what would motivate me to complete these challenges the best way that I could. All of a sudden I remembered this paticular quote.
( Live every day like it's an adventure.)
For me this means each task is a small endeavor of my daily adventure. It really kinda helps with the monotony of day to day life. It kinda makes medial tasks and chores a game. It's just less boring for me.
I thought I would share this bit of rabble because it helps me and maybe it can help some of you.

Very good attitude Drew. Thank you for sharing. We all need those affirmations to help us really embrace life.
Great idea to get up and do daily affirmations.
Thanks guys. I appreciate the positive response. I am glad this support cite exists because I have a hard time talking to other people about what really bothers me.
good for you sweetie. I hope you know I\'m just a message away if you need to talk. Love and hugs xoxo
That quote reminds me of that wonderful song called \"Live like you were dying\". I know it seems like a depressing song, but the words are wonderful and really rings true. I need to do a daily affirmation as well. Thank you for sharing. Hugs GB
