Here I am. I am new to the world of positive thinking. It has always been easier and comfortable for me in the world of pessimism. There were no surprises when I created a negative thinking pattern. I felt safe.

Here I am. I am a positive thinker. I am an optimist. I am hopeful. I start a new adventure today. I am present. I can learn. I am safe.

Welcome to bMindful. Are you sure you aren’t my sister? :) You sound just like her! :)

For someone who has hidden in the safety of pessimism, “coming out to the light” can seem very airy-fairy “woo hoo y”. However, I’m pretty sure, it will be the best feeling in the world.

My advice: even if it doesn’t feel “real” to you, keep at it. Say these things over and over again until they become true. …and they will. Becoming an optimist is probably very easy compared to other things.

Start little. “I choose to be happy. I am happy.” Happiness, in fact, is nothing more than a choice. It is an easy win.

Stretch yourself. Push yourself. Life is so incredible (and short), don’t waste it in fear!! There is so much out there to experience that is waaaaaay cool.

Keep us informed on your journey. We love to hear progress reports!!

Congratulations on your decision to create a more positive life for yourself.

It is so hard for most people to admit that they have been living a negative life and you my dear did it with elegance and class. Congratulations Good Job. If you ever need any tips or tricks to keep on the Positive, please do not hesitate to contact me. My life is dedicated to helping others see the Positive Attitude Power.

Also I want to agree with Meditatingmama, your name is lovely.

Welcome to bmindful, everyone here is here to help you.

Bless You and Yours

Thank you everyone. This caterpillar has had a bit of a difficult time emerging out of the cocoon. I have not made it a point lately to log in. I have posted my affirmations all over the house though and have seen a difference…ESPECIALLY in my health!

this thread is from 2010, and love the energy on this site, no matter what year(:

awesome how optimism begins such turn-arounds!

a member and I were discussing  my love for affirmations, and theirs...  & how I choose/create affirmations and then today I come across this thread when I posted about heart/and affirmations....

this is what I shared with good friend here: and it describes my method perfectly(: I go to my heart, listen to what I want and say it as though it has already occurred (and by the time I write/type it... a better thought feeling has already begun)

An affirmation for the pessimist:

Life is good as long as I choose to

look thru a lens of love, lightheartedness, and peace.

Don't be a pessimist just to feel right or a realist be an optimist just to be right.

Not sure if that makes sense oh well.
