Why is it so bloody hard to think positive??? It's something you really have to work hard at, while being

negative just seems to come natural..

Why oh why is that??

Hope you all have a POSITIVE day ;)

Yes I do believe you have to work at maintaining your self esteem just like you would at keeping your blood pressure right or your diabetes right. Hard work but anything is better than struggling with my thoughts every day.darkangel xx

Hi Holly, Yes I agree it is so hard to keep positive. Especially this time of the year. I hate January!

We do have to work at being positive and maintaining a good mood. Whatever strategy works like exercise, hobbies, music, pets or just having 'me' time.

Hope you alright. Keep going and dont give up. David xx

wee dribble in the bottom somewhere ;)

Holy, positive thinking is a con. I believe being mindful and finding gratitude for the small things that are good in daily life is how we become content

I like your twist on that.. It's just one of those cliché's people throw about randomly these days isn't it; 'positive

thinking'..

When I'm feeling ok I've got gratitude for the smallest most ridiculous things, but when I'm not ok it seems so

easy to overlook all those things and only see the bad.. so maybe it doesn't matter what we call it, just as long

as we try and focus on the right things, coz even a bad day has a good moment in it..
