Healthy Habits Challenge

hello hello <3 thanks to @Containedchaos for sharing the link to this, happy that I can be a part of it. also, thanks to all the members who thought of this wonderful idea and to Blithe for putting it all together.

I will share two quotes today. one of my favourite quotes by J. R. R. Tolkien: "there is some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for." and one more quote from one of my favourite novels, Wonder by RJ Palacio: "when given the choice between being right and being kind, choose kind."

one nice thing about me that I will say today: I may not fully comprehend what someone says, but I try my best and be there for them. c:

Thank you , Blithe for putting this up.

"We don't have to do all of it alone. We were never meant to." - Brené Brown.

I try to remind myself of this all the time. I want to be independent and strong. I don't like to rely on others. I came here because my depression and anxiety was no longer able to be "contained." The sharers, listeners, and mods have encouraged sharing and getting a listener here (I was very stubborn to get a listener at first). I listened to them and my therapist and as much as it pains me ;-), the were right,. It has helped, we do not have to struggle on our own. <3

Elliot has a quote he shared in group, "Shared joy is a double joy; shared sorrow is half sorrow." —Swedish Proverb

That quote is perfect for the community here, this is why this community thrives.

Not giving up is my magic--Black Clover--Asta

Today I'd like to say to myself that I am doing the best I can and that I am focusing on doing what I want.

--> Read one positive quote that speaks to you and share it here

"Everything you want is on the other side of fear." - Jack Canfield

“Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.” - Robert F. Kennedy

“If you're not prepared to be wrong, you'll never come up with anything original.” - Ken Robinson

--> Say one nice thing to yourself every day this week

You are not alone. Some day you will find a person who will accept you as you are.

#2 "When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, 'Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.' To this day, especially in times of 'disaster,' I remember my mother’s words and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers—so many caring people in this world." -Mr. Rogers

This quote has always been one of my favorites, but now more than ever with everything going on, it is relevant. There are more helpers in this world than there are those that tear the world down.

Keeping focus on the good.

Affirmation: I can get through this.

I like this.

"Take it easy on yourself sweet soul. you're doing the best you can!" - Not sure who it's by.

Elliot’s quote Day 3:

”Today you are you! That is truer than true! There is no one alive who is you-er than you”

-Dr. Seuss

@CommunitymodElliot

day 2 :)

quote for today from Anne of Green Gables: “Tomorrow is always fresh, with no mistakes in it yet.”

I like how I am actively looking for these positive quotes now in the morning, it offers a great start to my day ^^ tomorrow is always a fresh day and sometimes I need to remember that today isn't over, and I can still make it better. this also reminds me of the last episode of Bojack Horseman series, the moment between Todd and Bojack, Todd says something about everyone misunderstanding the Hokey Pokey song and then goes on saying what the song really says, "you do the hokey pokey and turn yourself around."

one nice thing about me that I will say today: I know how I can take care of myself. <3
