Day 1

In your own space, talk about your Happy Place—the things that give you joy, calms you or keeps you sane. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Oh goodness. I'm feeling such a grim person at the moment. I wouldn't say I have a happy place. I wouldn't say I am unhappy but that phrase just doesn't figure into my mental vocabulary.

I guess what I would say is the old cliche: curling up with a good book at the end of the day. It's not a panacea ut it does take your mind off of things and take you away to a different world.

I started working on a daily positives journal for this year. During 2016/2017 I had periods where i felt at the bottom of a deep hole and that everything was horrible,etc and then looking back on the year all the bad stuff would immediately pop up, and i would struggle to remember the good stuff, unless someone reminded me of it...

So a friend suggested as new year resolution to keep a journal where every day I write down 1-3-5,etc good things that happen that day. (it can be as small as 'The weather was nice today, or I ate a delicious meal, or I heard my favorite song on the radio,etc" or big 'I got to visit my BF,got a pay raise, reconnected with childhood friends, etc)

It really helped keeping a more positive outlook or have good stuff to think about when i'm sad
