New year.

[Pokermon]

Happy new year to you all. 🥂🥂Mum got a book on positive thinking so take pity on me as quotes are coming my way thick and fast. 😭😭😭Apparently if we all think positive thoughts things will get better. And don't worry about things that might happen as they might not so you have worried for nothing. Had the letter from matt saying sheilding was back on so no college for 4 weeks so at least we don't have to go out in this cold weather and we get lots of pj days. Take care everyone and stay safe and warm. 🔥🔥

Happy New Year, Pokermon,Take a sneaky look at your mum’s book and quote to her first.

Your attitude is always so positive anyway I don’t think you need to be exhorted to be so.

Well done little Zebra

Love and hugs

Gosh I need some of that, my positive thoughts are at rock bottom, I haven't had the will power to send anyone happy new year message yet. Send them virtually to me please. Glad for you and all x

[Katinka46 in reply to Suzie42]

Happy New Year, Susie.As for positive thoughts I have mixed feelings. We are allowed to feel negative and need to acknowledge the bad stuff that happens, exhortation to be positive can make us feel guilty on top of everything else. But we also need to hang onto the little things that help us to move forward. Very, very small steps of gratitude maybe?

All best wishes

Kate x

Thanks Kate, I know I need to be more positive, but I'm not trusting anything I hear now on the news about vaccine etc. I'm so negative it's scary, I've never ever been like it. Always been a positive person. My husband is in despair of me now. I will try though x

Happy New Year. You could try replying with mindfulness suggestions, concentrating on the moment, such as the taste of the cup of tea (or whatever) you're drinking, the look in the sky, the feel of an object in your hand.Glad you'll be safely at home during this more challenging time xx

Hi, Pokermon.

Your Mum sounds lovely!

After a period of depression, I made a log book but chose only to write positive things in it. So there were days when nothing at all got written, but then I started to fill in more days with what I called 'Silver Linings'. It was all about turning around negative thoughts into positive ones so if something bad happened, I'd try to work out if something good happened as a result. Simple things like, 'Too unwell to go out today, but that meant I saw the robin and the blue tit visit the garden.' Gradually there were more and more silver linings and soon I was writing every day. My depression lifted and I've tried to continue with my 'Silver Linings'.

However, I can appreciate that having someone quoting positive thinking at you can drive you mad!

Never mind - enjoy your PJ days for a couple of weeks.

😜

A very Happy and healthy New Year to you and your family too Pokermon 🥳

[watergazer]

Happy New Year pokermon and enjoy the pj days. I agree with sassy about the worry quote- my husband worries about absolutely everything and drives me insane Don't worry and sort it if it happens is my motto xx 😆

[Snackjack]

Thank you, will follow your mum's quote and will try to have more positive thoughts as I do tend to always think the worse. You take care and stay safe😊👍

[soulboy118]

Don't be to disheartened, there will be light at the end of the tunnel and you can always be the person you wanted to be , never let the dust settle under your feet and always walk in the sun because each step forward leads to a better life lol, enjoy 😊

Happy New Year to you too Pokerman. Sometimes its hard to be positive with the world being in turmoil at the moment but I do like your mums quotes. I have tried starting the day off with " how lucky am I" and list the things that are good about my life, which kind of works x

[judes]

I’m a fairly positive person and learnt many years ago no point worrying about things you can’t change.

Your mum sounds wonderful, it’s in a mums job description to do things like getting books etc. My mother once sent me some build up type stuff when I was poorly, it was revolting, I told mother it was lovely!

Have a great 2021 love and hugs
