Positive Triggers

The beach, without a doubt
Also beaches when no one is there (off-season), especially ones surrounded with parks or trees.
Docks, the creaks of the boards, the sound of the water, sitting on the end.
Watching the sun set on a warm summer night with a drink/ coffee.
The feel of rose petals on my face.

1.Looking out my window at the mountains.
2.Having paid all my bills for the month.
3.Going to our fellowship meal at church and sitting with my friend Becky and mostly just listening to her, but also getting coffee for her, taking her plate to the kitchen when she is done and stuff like that. She walks with a cane, so you see, she REALLY appreciates me. I LOVE being appreciated, since when I was a kid, it seemed like no one did.
4.Remembering when I was a kid climbing trees or visiting our favorite peaceful healthy place by a waterfalls that we called 2nd Falls. Thinking about the beauty of that place always cheers me. It is my "go to" memory for happiness.
5.Calling my beloved niece.
6.Reading the Bible, a Devotional, a novel, or my Brain Boot Camp Book, that exercises my brain and keeps it healthy.
7.Going for a walk around the block (weather permitting).
8.Meeting my boyfriend at Mac Donalds for coffee or a meal. Then walking around town with him holding hands.
9.Praying.
10.Lighting a candle.

Rivers... something about them just moves my soul to a place of peace

 

[Ronin]

Ditto on rivers and water bodies if I can move around and across them freely.

Blue skies, optimism & hopefulness.
Forests & trees that are spacey and peaceful.
Palm trees.
Baby animals.
Babies, altogether.
Words of wisdom.
Candle light.
Roads & safe drivers & having enough space and escapes.
The thought 'It's over'.

 

[Tornadic Thoughts]

Gardens, grass, greenage of all varieties, animals of all kinds, sunshine, music, hand drums, Native American flutes, guiros, tambourines, fires built in the fire pit, the smell of sage and palo santo sticks burning, frankincense and sweet orange essential oil, fruits and veggies, clean drinking water, kind and gentle hugs, belly laughs, heartfelt stories openly shared, smiles that originate in the heart, finding feathers, tie dye anything, glitter, hula hoops...but wait...there's more...(to be continued another day)

 

[Justmehere]

Blue sunny skies and sunsets, and clean organized kitchens --- for very different reasons, they both are deeply calming.

And one of them I can create for myself!

Hummingbirds hovering.
The buzz of the bees pollinating.

The sound of the mountain stream after a generous rain shower.
The rain shower that waters the garden that provides the nourishment.
The music that makes it impossible to sit still.
The bright idea that I carry through to fruition.
