I am now on my third set of Positive Words – going in alphabetical order. I get just as much out of them now as I did when I began this series.

Before I began depression treatment the words I used out loud, and in my mind, were peppered with negativity. At the time, I did not realize the power that words could have on a person’s mood, attitude, and outlook on life. Depression treatment has taught me to be mindful of the words I use. Creating this list of positive words for each letter of the alphabet has been a terrific way for me to build up a positive word bank.

Feel free to use anything you see on this list on your own blog – or even create your own list of positive words.

Alive – This word makes me feel positively happy because I am alive. After spending so much time wanting to die, and trying to kill myself, I have reached a point where I am happy, and thankful to be alive. The other reason this makes me feel positively happy is that my dad is alive. He gave me quite the scare this week with some heart trouble he currently is in the hospital for.
