What Keeps You Going?

[jadebear]

you read them to understand you are moving forward, instead of making an achievement then forgetting it and becoming all tied up in the latest moment.

Thanks for the reminder.....it's easy to get caught up in the latest moment and forget everything.

I have achieved alot this past year. Some things have been small, some have been huge. I have setbacks often, but I always manage to pick myself back up somehow and keep going.

The above post is gonna keep me going....I've been trying so hard to find some positives in my life and forgot about all my achievements. (Thanks anthony....)

Jadebear,
You are one strong, smart and kind hearted person.
You have had many battles. We can't win all of them. You sure give it a good try! What's important is the War and you are winning that hands down! ((hugs))

I have such a hard time answering this, and still can't. I'm gonna think some more.

It's great to hear you acknowledge your achievements Jade. Nice one. :D
I think setbacks are inevitable, but it's important not to let them overshadow the successes. Anthony has a great idea. Keep a note of the 'positives', and look back on them from time to time.

Hey lilstar, it doesn't have to be anything, massive, deep or profound.... perhaps you are thinking too hard.

Other things that keep me going are plans for the future, usually the near future..... planning an evening out with friends, arranging to see family, walking with my friends dog, planning a holiday, or just daydreaming about where I'd like to go.

Also things that I enjoy -ok - they might not 'keep me going' per se, but they are worth thinking about when you are feeling down. For me, it's the sight and smell and sound of the sea, an ice cold beer on a hot day, feeling the sun on my face, coming in from a cold wet day and having a long, hot shower, feeling sand between my toes, curling up in bed with a good book, while the rain hammers on the windows, playing my favourite songs at full blast (sorry neighbours!). Sometimes it's just the simple things that can bring a smile to your face :)

No need to be too good. What about chocolate with a side of salad!!

 

[cherryblossom]

Forget the salad, just buy more chocolate and share it. Et voila - half the calories and being nice to someone else, all in one go ;)

Perfect solution!;)
