Recently, I joined/liked a face book page called Mental Health. I really have enjoyed it because it is very active, and is full of positive thoughts, questions to ponder, and encouragement. Not long ago, they posted a great exercise that I decided to duplicate on my blog. This is what it is…

“The power of positive words is life giving. Beginning with the letter A and ending it with Z….can we make a list of one word for each letter (A-Z) and include WHY this word makes YOU feel positively happy?”

I have decided that I am going to try to post a different letter/word every day – starting with the letter A – and explain why the word makes me feel positively happy. I might even start over from A again after I reach the end of the alphabet.

Brave – it makes me feel positively happy when I think about how brave I have been since beginning depression treatment. I have had to open myself up to a stranger – my counselor – do things that make me feel uncomfortable to overcome my anxiety, and make difficult decisions to protect my mental health. I am braver than I ever gave myself credit for.

I would love to see what positive words you come up with for the letter B!
