Similar to the other thread, but for positive thoughts that come to mind instead. I think it helps to type them out on a thread like this because thoughts that are kept inside my head tend to slip away after a short period of time (also I would love to read others )
I will start:
If I can behave the way I do around the people I'm comfortable with in my life, then I can translate this behavior to people I'm not as comfortable with.
People telling you you're 'too quiet' can be frustrating and hurtful, but what these people are actually trying to tell you is that they like you and value your input, or are interested in knowing you better. If they didn't, they wouldn't say anything at all.

I want this thread to live, so I'll give another one:
Rather than compare your achievements with those of others: compare your achievements to what you've done already. Think of life not as a race but running a track and always trying to beat your time.
I don't even know if that makes sense but it does to me.

I'm glad you like the thread! And that makes complete sense. Comparing to others rarely helps because there's always those who have accomplished more. I like the way you phrased this.
im really proud of myself for my commitment to my health and fitness. ive lost 7 lbs in just under a week, and i havent had to restrict my eating at all. when i excersize i am so happy when i am able to feel my own progress; moves and stretches that i once didnt even attempt because they seemed too difficult i can find myself able to do- bit by bit i know im getting stronger and leaner and this makes me feel good about myself..

I may have had a bad day but there was some good in it!!
Nice morning
Kids at VBS made me smile
A girl on an online dating site called me cute and wants to meet me lol
I'm alive and well
Life is what you make it. If you decide it's not special, then in won't be. Positivity and negativity is a choice and you are the only one who can make it.
Things will get better when I re-locate. I know what I need to do, I just need a new environment - A place where people don't know me so I can start fresh and turn my life around. I will miss my family, but obviously I will visit often. I need to do this for myself, I can't stay here much longer.
Tomorrow, I expect my parcel to arrive and I'd never ever have to be bothered by spinning beach balls/colour wheels ever again. I hope.
I also hope it doesn't rain in the afternoon. I want to go out biking.
Learning to not take things for granted and being appreciative for what we have. This thought is helping me enjoy life more than what it already has to offer.
I just read through a whole bunch of posts by another SASer and it reminded me I need to get back on the positive track again. I am saying goodbye to my depression.
I barely feel the physical effects of anxiety anymore. Now it's just a matter of becoming more comfortable and confident with people and saying what's on my mind a bit more often. I've been fearing the judgement of others much less, and hope it continues to improve.
I hope next week, in class, will be as "successful" as this one's been. I need to keep the attitude I've been having and not fall back into my normal behavior.
