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.

I am not feeling particularly positively positive about anything, so I will be starting off why this word is positive in a different way than I usually do.

Onward – This word is positive – to me – because I know I need to keep moving onward – moving past how I feel now. If the only way I can keep moving onward is to get some extra psychiatric help – for a short while – then I need to do that.
