Right enough of this sadness and misery!!! Let's have a think about our happy Christmas memories!!! Ok so some of you have had rotten childhoods but maybe a happy memory in there somewhere!!! Favourite Christmas present? Favourite food? Favourite tv programme? Favourite anything!!!!

We had a pillowcase at the end of our beds!! We had 6 presents each. (There were 6 of us)I always got a little sweet shop, paper bags and scales to weigh the sweets on. And the best of all was getting a little plastic till with plastic money!!! So I could pretend I was a propper shop keeper!!! Always got a twinkle annual and some kind of knitting kit or little crafting set!! And may I say Happy Christmas to You all and here's to a much better 2017 to everyone. Love and best wishes everyone πŸŒ²β€οΈοΈπŸŽˆπŸ˜‡πŸ™πŸ»

Just seen this Angep,

my childhood was crap in all ways

violent,abusive,,horrid,

PTSD,DP etc

We never had Xmas

BUT

You can choose to make happy memories

Every day

Something to remember that was good,enjoyable, pleasent even

And choose to focus on those good aspects more than the others

Happier ever after!

just read this, good advice

Watch your thoughts, they become words.

Watch your words, they become actions.

Watch your actions, they become habits.

Watch your habits, they become your character.

Watch your character, it becomes your destiny.

I certainly think if you start your day on a negative it just goes from bad to worse!! I try really hard not to do that. I saw an interesting post on you tube where a young man was taught a technique at his CBT therapy.as soon as you have a negative thought ask yourself this! IS THIS USEFULL? I usually answer no!! So that really does help me x

Found the mindful way of observing neg. thoughts,feelings really helpful too ie

Stop buying into the negative thoughts/feelings

Stop showering it with my belief

Stop finding identity in it

Stop defending it

Stop fueling it

And staying in an space of relaxed awareness,observationof the negative thoughts/feelings

This from 'Little Buddha'

It's a great inspirational site.

Yes I go to meditation classes, it's a great experience.i went today. I have a one to one sometimes and I value that time just for me!! In the madness of life that's a little bit of heaven for me!! The quietness of your mind is something to treasure.so a blessing in disguise!! Being banned !! You've found your feet again and doing stuff!! That's lovely πŸ˜€
