LJ's positive challenge 5th of June

'Becoming debt free and staying that way is a very difficult thing to achieve. When times get hard it can be hard to stay positive and keep on going. I've been having a hard time recently myself and know that a lot of others have also been feeling this way so I've decided that we need to have a challenge of sorts to boost our positivity which will give us a renewed energy to bust those debts!

The idea (and this is open to suggestions from others) is that I'll start up a daily thread where we'll post one thing we are doing to boost our positivity. Obviously this does not need to be debt or financially related. It could be something as simple as phoning an old friend we haven't spoken to in a while or fixing that dodgy floorboard that's been bugging for a while, reorganising the kitchen to make things flow easier and hence cutting back on stress etc etc etc Although these things aren't by themselves cutting back on our debts or helping financially they are helping to make our lives easier and make us feel that we have made a positive achievement in our day and to our lives in general.'

afternoon darling dfw's. hope the sun is shining where you are. It's trying up here but there are grey clouds covering it, is nice and warm tho, hoping for a thunder storm this evening!!!

well today has been a mixed bag, work was ok as most of the 'bitter hearts' as I'm now choosing to call them weren't in until I was leaving and the sun was trying to shine which always makes for a good day.

my positive thing that I have done today is choose myself a new theme song (how very ally mcbeal!!!). It's a positive anthem by a band called jimmy eat world and it really captures how I'm feeling right now and tells me to ignore the paranoid feelings and loneliness I've been feeling recently. It's an old-ish song that I never paid too much heed to before but after rediscovering it on sky a couple of days ago it struck a chord and I've now downloaded it. It's on repeat and when folk are getting to me I'm gonna sing it in my head to remind me to ignore them.

so what positive things are you all doing today???
