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.

Discover – This word makes me feel positively happy because I have a lot of good things to discover about myself. and the people in my life. Even before my depression became severe I did not spend much time learning about myself or other people. I had no interest in discovering what interests, concerns, or fears other people had. Knowing those things would have allowed me to develop deeper, and closer relationships. Taking the time to discover things about myself was something I could not manage. If I took the time to do that, then I would actually see some of my character flaws. I was not prepared to do that. Things are different now. I want to discover all I can about myself, and work to implement positive changes. I want to discover all I can about the people in my life, so that I can have deeper, and more meaningful relationships.
