What keeps me positive?

The knowledge that everything IS going to be alright, and Gratitude.

Another thing that works, and I’ve not heard of anyone else who does this, is to make use of the calendar function on my phone to send myself notes. I entered about 200 positive messages, some I made up myself, others I got from Notes From The Universe , and set them to repeat indefinitely. It’s a wonderful way to keep positive. It’s like patting yourself on the back for a job well done, especially as a single parent because there’s not always someone there to do that.

I get a message about 10am, 11am, 12am, 6pm, 7pm, 9pm, and a couple more. They repeat monthly so I don’t know what to expect, and they often bring a smile to my face.

A few examples:
O.M.G ! How Cool Are You.
You Sooo Own Today Ernie.
I Am Inspired Every Day.
You Are The Reason The Sun Came Up Today.
Ernie You So Have What It Takes.
I Always Make The Right Decision.

I change my pc screen wallpaper a lot and in my search for beautiful images I found Photoree. Sites like Flickr are great too but Photoree ( www.photoree.com ) speeds up the whole process of searching. Registering is free and only take a moment. Most of the images are cc (Creative Commons license) which means you can use them freely and share with friends. The fun begins once you’ve rated about 100 photos, it recommends similar ones.
