The power of positive words is life giving. They build me up, and provide me with encouragement. They have been known to empower me, giving me the confidence I need to face something difficult. Beginning with the letter A and ending it with Z….I am going to make a list of one word for each letter (A-Z) and include why this word makes me feel positively happy.

Social – This word makes me feel positively happy because I am more social than I used to be. I have friends, and family that I communicate with, and hang out with. I am not a social butterfly – and have no plans to become one – but I have found value, and joy in being more social. Inviting people into my life has allowed me to realize that I have some very good emotional and mental health support

Quiet – This word makes me feel positively happy because I enjoy my quiet time. I enjoy spending time with myself. In the past when I spent time with myself, it was a negative, and heart breaking time. I spend the time worrying, and contemplating all sorts of negative things that were going to happen. It was also time spent thinking about, and planning my own death. Now when I have quiet time, I am writing, or reading. Sometimes, I am just vegging out watching TV. There are no more quiet times spent torturing myself with all kinds of negative thoughts.

Positive – This word makes me feel positively happy because I have learned how to be a more positive person. Before I began depression treatment I looked at the world in a very negative way.

As a result of some home work my counselor gave me, I have learned to view the world in a completely new – positive – way. It creates a feeling of joy in me knowing that life is made up of so many positive things.

Interested – This word makes me feel positively happy because I enjoy being interested in the world around me. Checked out, there but not there, nobody is home, are just a few phrases that could be applied to my state of being during the time before I began depression treatment. I was not all that interested in what was going on, or who was involved in it. I tried to be, especially when my daughter was talking to me. More often than not, my mind would simply wander off while I was listening to her. Same thing would happen when I tried to read, listen to music, and even watch TV. Being interested in what is going on in the world, and my family makes my life more full, and interesting. Being interested makes me an active participant in life.
