Found something that helps

[AgentR]

Last Monday, I started a Positivity diary where I note down each day three positive things that has happened during the day and then gave a overall feeling of the day so Good, Neutral or Bad. I could write down the negative things but I know if I did that there would be more negatives than positives and I would just focus more on the negatives.

Also, at the back of the diary I left some pages for people to make positive comments. Firstly, I wrote a paragraph myself, tell myself that I was doing good and lots of people were supporting me. Then during the week, I asked my teachers to sign my diary with a happy or funny comment about me and I don't read the actual comment until the end of the day.

So take today for example, I've had really bad day today but at the end of it, I read my citizenship teacher comment and it really cheered me up and made me smile. It actually does work. I would recommend this to anyone who self-doubts themselves or has trouble with negativism. Also, post any tips or things :idea: that you do to help you get through the day.

That's great, I'm glad you found something that works for you!

I don't get out much :? so most days are pretty easy for me, I just get negative thoughts about my future sometimes, well quite a lot of times really.

I have lots of negative thoughts about my future but I've just told myself go where every the journey takes you.

I just though I'm so sick of feeling ill, depressed, negative so I told myself I had to do something about it and then I came up with the diary idea and I though what the heck? What have I got to lose if it goes wrong? Some days are still bad as always but it seems now that I'm having more good days than ever.
