Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
My brother called to see me yesterday and was telling me a long and involved story when he said something I found funny. He’s been a great help and has tried to get me to smile for some time, this time he succeeded. I guess it was the distraction of the story which helped but even so I now realise I had been listening to what he had to say and not thinking about my own problems.
That's very positive Drew, I so know the feeling when someone's talking and to you and your mind isn't really with it because of your own thoughts. So it's absolutely great that you were tuned in to what he was saying.

I think it's fab that you seem to have a lot of support and love from your family!

A quiet day today. There were no great positives to report but equally there were no great negatives either. Lesson learned? You can’t win every day but if you win more than you lose you are making progress.

So true! It's not always about a "wow moment" as my last psychologist said, sometimes just getting through the day fairly level is a huge success in itself!

Today I was thinking about what I could do to keep myself occupied and remembered I had taken part in a number of courses through FutureLearn. The basic courses are free but you can get additional benefits for a fee.
When I looked at the FutureLearn website one of the first course I spotted was Mindfulness for Wellbeing and Peak Performance. I’ve decided to enrol and have already started the course which takes about three hours per week for 4 weeks. I hope my studies will be a welcome distraction and a useful tool for the future.
FutureLearn have a wide range of courses and you can get more information from their FAQs at https://about.futurelearn.com/about/faq
A good positive for the day.
That's a great idea! Well done!
