This is the right place for people who understand, but it might be a struggle to find someone to help you because everyone here is looking for help. ( I hope that makes sense) xx

I am hoping talking with others here will make me feel less alone. I am sure many people here have learned some things that they may not practice enough, but they can share and discuss.

I am trying hard to stay positive too. It’s hard when circumstances are troubling but we can do it no matter what as it’s all about retraining the brain and being mindful in the present moment taking it step by step as the moments unfold and we stop judging the thoughts. I’d like to team up with you. We could check in and remind each other to stay positive remember what we have to be thankful for...

I have seen the Secret. Maybe I should watch it again.

I did some mindfulness after I read some boats. I thought only about the colors of the leaves on the ground as I walked. I forgot how calming that is for me.

Glad we are friends and checking in. BTW I am a 1st grade teacher.

Yes it’s great we can practice mindfulness whenever wherever.

Oh I think teachers are the best! I used to work with kids too, my favorite job was as an instructional therapist for kids with autism.

One positive for today...I drank my green tea with stevia instead of sugar/creamer. Health is one path to less depression.

How are you today?

Rough day today. However, my positive is that I took charge and created a schedule for my team which they appreciated.

How are you doing? Tell me something good.

Nice job Drakmoon, that’s an accomplishment to be proud of. Having a rough time right now but my positive is that I believe I can feel better tomorrow. That’s big for me because usually I think to myself that the pain won’t end.
