A little positivity goes a long way

[chloe40]

when it comes to helping ourselves.

Grieving is something that doesn't just go away as we all know, but if we can try to find small positives in our lives, it helps.

I have started a different journal now for just this purpose, it doesn't have to be huge, it's the little things that help. The changing leaves of autumn, a little bird. something that has made me smile (even if that doesn't happen very often).

So please join me and let's continue this thread by posting one positive thing you have experienced each day.

Today, there are lots of parakeets in my garden, they make me smile! 🙂

getting the dog out half decent walks has helped me a bit.

[chloe40 Administrator in reply to kenster1]

That's good Kenny, I think walking, especially dog walking encourages you to go outside, and there's always a chance of a short chat too!

I remember you mentioning your dog wasn't too well, I hope he's okay now.

Going out for walks with friends and looking at the fabulous tree colours. Walking really lifts my mood

morning Chloe, I’ve been quite down these last couple of weeks due to an insensitive neighbour.

Positives : just on my way home from a fantastic break with my husband. We visited a castle & a maze got totally lost. Got chatting to two the other couples who were also lost. Had great fun. & following day visit to the sea, had a lovely long walk. Absolutely delicious lunch in quaint old town. Just what the doctor ordered. I’m back x

[chloe40 Administrator]

So sorry to read you've had a rough time due to neighbours, I empathise!

But there's no keeping you down Caza and I'm so glad you've spent time with your husband on a well deserved break <3

Today I experienced getting a good nights sleep. Most nights I'm up late or early for a comfort break. Today i sleep in till just before my getting up time. The one thing that helps me is my new Duvet. Never thought it would make such a difference. Looking forward to Winter to see what else I can conquer.

[chloe40 Administrator in reply to Greyone]

That's great Greyone

It's amazing how these things make such a difference, sweet dreams.

Nothing beats a good nights sleep 😴

Photography is so theraputic getting out there and absorbing yourself in your environment and getting the shot just right here's one took me until the last goose jumped in to get the right sight lol mam started photography after my step dad died about 19 yrs ago got a computer and printer, we went on lots of Holliday's it was her Hobby and her granddaughter was born then she became her photo hobby so many albums, I'm lucky I live next to a beautiful park it's my sanctuary 💛🌟🌲

😁

[chloe40 Administrator]

I can see it's such a great hobby, and will definitely help with stress and grief.

Enjoy <3
