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 that time, I did not realize the power that words can 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 blog – or even create your own list of positive words.

Try -This word makes me feel positively happy, because to try means I am not giving up.  I have given up before, and it is a sad and lonely place to be. I realize now I do not have to feel that way, and for me the simplest answer is to try.
