This is a great idea for a thread. Learning to interpret events in a positive, or at least a not negative, way is so important. It has really helped me.

The last couple of weeks haven't been that great for me and I'm not all that positive, so this is a good thing for me to do.

Actually I'm having a hard time thinking of specific positive things, but I'm positive about the fact that I have improved a lot in the last few months. I will post something more positive later.

posative post

I just wanted to post somthing on this, So it wouldnt disapperar from the top of the list.I know everyone has a hard time with sp/sa and its not easy to deal with it. But i think it was a good idea of scottish players to have a bit for posative postes.

I havent been posting much positve stuff on here lately as i havent been doing much to talk about, but tommorow iam planning to go out and wash my car again this may be nothing to some people but for me to be standing out in the street with all the houses overlooking me makes me feel realy bad.I can sometimes talk myself into feeling not too bad but other times i just basicly throw a bucket of water over it and thats me done as i just dont feel upto it.


So here is hoping for a sunny day tommorow and an early finish from work to do it :D :D :D :D :D

good luck washing your car! :D do you have drive-thru car washes there? That's what i usually do, (if i don't have to wait in line :oops: ) but sometimes i imagine my car stalling in there...getting stranded in the car wash, having to go for help, with soap and water everywhere..yikes.....i'm such a dork 8O

Dont give oursleves enough credit?

I dont think we give ourselves enough credit to be honest, I think we all do posative things, But we dont give ourselves credit for them.I mean we do things but we feel worse for doing them well i do anyway.The problem is we do things, then beat ourselves up for not being performing socialy well in whatever we did.instead of feeling bad we should feel good for ourselves cos we have at least tried, even if we did muck things up,its better than not facing whatever we are scared of and staying in our comfort zones.And scottish player,you said that washing your car is a problem and it might sound silly to other people,well if its a problem for you to do that, then its not silly at all mate and well done for getting on and doing it.(sorry if i sound patronising or whatever)Anyway hope it went well or goes well and good luck.

I WENT TO THE LIBRARY, I WENT TO THE LIBRARY
YEEEEEHAAAAA!


sounds stupid?
not to me.
I have an exam after tomorrow, and all my life i used to study in the house and not leaving it. this day i decided to go to public library to study there. It was great.
although that employee kicked us out at 10 o'clock (too early for me), i enjoyed it.
there wasn't too much people and on top of that no one is allowed to talk, no one is allowed to come and go and everybody is staring at their books and nothing else.
It felt so good. you should try it guys, you feel like you did something great. :lol: :lol:
peace.

Yesterday I went to like 20 garage/yard sales. I usually feel weird about walking around people's yards, but yesterday I told myself that that's what we're supposed to do and it was great.

I went to my mom's freind's house, whom I hardly know, to discuss some money making things we're going to do together. That wasn't nearly as terrible either.

I also received some phone calls from people I would normally feel uncomfortable talking to. Oh yeah, for the ones I initially didn't answer, I made a point to call them back right away, rather than putting it off in avoidance.

I am so happy with myself today, because I pretty much had no anxiety at all. It's so strange how this randomly happens. I went to work today (in retail) and I felt like a normal person! I hope I can stay like this for tomorrow at least... :D

Had a tough meeting on a building concept this morning, unexpectedly (no time to prepare for the presentation), and I pulled it off to the point where the client said the concept was "cool" and a "slam dunk." Yeah, I think I feel pretty good about that. Especially since (2) earlier concepts, developed by people with years more experience than me, were dismissed (one guy is just livid over it :mrgreen: the guy that jacked my concept). Got "Good Job" comments from both clients, the owner of the firm (my boss), and a senior member of the firm. The only guy that didn't say "Good Job" was the guy that 'modified' my design instead of creating one of his own, which is what he should have done.

I got stuck in a car wash once. It just sort of shut down. Everything stopped, then the 'car puller' thing started working and pulled the car through, then they hosed it off and gave me a coupon for a free wash.

I also ran out of quarters at one of those pressure hose washes, right in the middle of the 'suds' phase. So I drove away with a car covered in bubbles. They just kind of blew off and everything was cool.

I also had the sunroof on my 'college' car blow off (2) months before graduation. I was hoping it would survive to the end. Everyone I told about it, thought it was funny as hell. And it was. Some junky-ass, 12-year-old General Motors product losing a sunroof (I mean everything, glass, frame, rubber gasket, sliding tracks, the plastic lid you slide close underneath it, everything. The only thing left was a raggededy-ass metal frame that pounded and flailed about my car for the next 200 miles) at 70 mph going over a mountain pass with snow flurries. What joy. Even my mother laughed when I told her :D .

i have spells like that, lasting perhaps a few hours, where for no apparent reason, i suddenly feel normal, relaxed and almost happy

i had a team meeting at work today, something which I usually feel very apprehensive about, but inexplicably felt completely calm and in fact enjoyed the meeting
