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. My life is very different now. I see a future laid out before me that will be filled with much joy. I know there will be sorrows, however, I think the joy will outweigh those.

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

Near – This word makes me feel positive happy because my friends – those I rely on – are near. They are only a phone call away. Just last year, I had no one – apart from family – that I could count on. Things are different now. The other reason this word makes me positively happy is I have found a support group that is near. It is a nice feeling to know that when I reach out for help, I have it from new, and old friendships.
