Inspire Yourself

[Ellabella44]

( not meant to be self promotion )

I have had an idea to remind myself of better days when im not feeling happy, together, functional, creative, useful, wise or brilliant in any way.

im thinking of making a t shirt with something ive written or created on a good, creative, and better mood day to wear to inspire myself with. A reminder that im the same person who had that thought that someone else thought inspiring.

today I have trouble expressing this idea without repeating myself so please bear with me.

For anyone else if you wanted to do this too:

it could be that "perfect" photo you took one day.
a picture of a sculpture or otherwork of art you are proud of.
a song, poem, or thought you had once that you wrote yourself and inspired someone.

anything really that you have done recently on a "good" day that makes you happy that you are the person who created it.

doesnt have to be a t shirt, could be a mug, keychain etc from one of those places where you can customize your items. The point of it all is that you are the artist.

im thinking that seeing whatever it is you create would possibly help pull you out of a down state especially if someone else sees it and says wow thats wonderful!

I took a positive psychology college course and your idea is actually sanctioned and required for some of the submitted work. For those whom are not confident enough to be artistically challenged, one of the other options was to build a PowerPoint that had smartphone photos included around trophies, poems, cards that meant a lot, personal items that trigger good memories, love gifts, older photos of good memories (which includes furbabies), favorite nature shots, meals or treats occupied by music that made one smile. Sort of a diary if you will of some highlights that brought joy!

Kudos to you for posting this thread! ((((hugs))))

Three years ago my daughter gave me a very beautiful hand made box with a fairy on the top cover. It is now my memory box which I put in good things others have given me. It is in a prominant place in my bedroom on my dresser. It is so nice to go through it every once in a while. Great topic.
