It´s been a long day hence the diary shot. We had one of our regular group meetings with our counselor at the mediation office. And as always, there were lots of goodies just begging to be eaten. Luckily my sugar free diet is over cos I was in need of some chocolate. These rich chocolate muffins were just perfect and yes very delicious. I of course ate only one but I am sure they were all equally delicious :)
Today we talked about how one negative thing/story can be zeroed with one positive thing/story. It got me thinking that in my work I hear many negative stories per day, so how am I ever going to find the same amount of positive things per each day :O It´s not like I can eat a dozen cupcakes per day:)
Oh yum! And, BTW - as for positive things/stories - you only need to turn to 365 and see how many challenges met and other positive pictures are posted every time you need re-enforcement. Sure to work every time!
They look yummy! I think you could find many positive stories in the pictures here on 365! It is interesting to me that once you start looking for things like that, it becomes much easier to see them. They are not as rare as one would think.
@farmreporter@olivetreeann Both of you are right, there are a lot of positive things and stories here and yes there´s a lot of positive things all around, one just have to be aware of them and occasionally actively look for them. And my positive load exceeds my negative load, I am a positive person and I am quite happy with my life. Even though I counter distressed people and people with huge problems every day cos of my work, I still don´t feel affected by it. I find positive things even in my work, the little hope that sparks in people during our conversation, the gratitude when they feel they have been heard and helped.
Maybe you can get a lot of very small cupcakes? :)
