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 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 what much joy. I know there will be sorrows, however, I think the joy will outweigh those.

Zoom – this word makes me feel positively happy because there are parts of my life that I’m okay with zooming in on – meaning taking a closer look at. There was a time in my life when I did not want to look at any part of my life closely. While there are still parts of my life that are too painful, and uncomfortable for me to zoom in on yet, at least I can say that there are parts that I can. I’m sure given enough time, and patience I will be able to take a closer look at other aspects of myself, and my life.

Yearn – This word makes me feel positively positive because I actually yearn for/want wonderful things in my life. For long time, I was happy with the status quo. Never really wanting much, and not really yearning for any life changes. However, that is changed. Even though I am now in my 40s there are many things I yearn for out of life. One of those things, is to eventually have a career that – for the most part – I enjoy, instead of the job I do.

I know it has been several weeks since the last time I updated my positive word list, but I always struggle when I have to list a word that starts with X. I tackled the X word same way I did last time, I just went to the place in the dictionary where all the words starting with X were listed. I found one I thought was interesting and that is the one I am going to use today.

X BAND – : a segment of the superhigh-frequency radio spectrum that lies between 5.2 GHz and 10.9 GHz and is used especially for radars and for spacecraft communication

Workable – This word makes me feel positively happy, because I have learned even the most difficult of circumstances are workable. Meaning, if I can remember my tools, and ask for help when I need it, then I can find a way to work through almost everything. In the past, instead of seeing things as workable I would quickly become overwhelmed, full of anxiety, and paralyzed. It is a much better feeling to find my way through a difficult circumstance then to become so overwhelmed that I can’t function.

Valid – This word makes me feel positively happy, because I now realize  my emotions are valid – normal you could say. One of the most difficult things for me to learn/figure out in depression treatment has been if my emotional response to something is valid, or if it is skewed to the extreme by depression symptoms. It feels good to be able to identify a particular set of emotions as valid for the circumstance or situation.

Upbeat – This word makes me feel positively happy because being upbeat is all about maintaining a positive attitude. I know that if I can remain upbeat -stay positive – then the curveballs that life throws me will not be so difficult for me to manage.

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.
