Some things I do to reframe my negative thoughts is to write a gratitude list. Seeing on paper all the things I am grateful for can really help shift my mood. Doing my homework when I am feeling down and diving into my studies helps me change my mindset because it refocuses me and makes me feel like I can accomplish anything. I was having a bad day yesterday, hiding under the covers not wanting to face the day. Skipped class and just felt so guilty. My teacher is so nice and I felt like I disappointed her. So I put my big girl pants on, threw the covers off me, and grabbed my laptop. Handed in a few assignments for her class early to get ahead. After that I was feeling more motivated I did some self care soothing exercises to treat myself, and then cleaned the house. Seeing all this positivity after such a negative morning shifted my day and mood completely.

Hey there Animal!...
Oh I LOVE the idea of the "Gratitude List"! That is definitely a good one! I have done that as well, and you are absolutely right, that seeing it all on paper in front of you can certainly help "shift a mood"!...
You surely have many great thing that you do for yourself. I think its amazing that you are actually able to do "Homework" when you aren't feeling the greatest. (I never liked homework myself and feel that may have been a tough one for me there lol)!... So I find that to be awesome. That really is amazing that you are able to work on dividing up your studies and that it helps you to focus and change (and improve) your mindset overall! I can see why that would help in making you feel accomplished.
We are sorry to hear that you were having a bad day recently,... Sometimes we just have to do what we need to do for ourselves (even it means hiding under the covers and not wanting to do much else). And THAT IS OKAY!...And we don't need to feel guilty for feeling our feelings. Our feelings are valid. I think its even more amazing that you were able to overcome your feelings in a productive way (by handing in assignments, doing some self care soothing exercises, cleaning, etc..)!
You really do seem to know how to "Cultivate" positive thinking! We are proud of you!. Continue to keep up the great work that you are doing. And for being an inspiration to others on how to do so!!
Thank you for sharing your experiences with us!
