Positive thoughts/advices corner :)
I had this idea, that if you have an irrational thought or if you are depressed, you can do some brainstorming (or other methods) and invent thoughts that make you feel better. You can also write quotes by famous/less famous people, or even request positive thoughts (e.g.: I have an anxiety problem and I worry that a car will hit me. - "Worrying is the misuse of imagination."). You can also share the advice/quotes you've got from your friends (or the ones you gave). :) It's incredible how some positive "energy" can brighten up your day!
Another example, I have severe guilt/empathy problems and I can't stop. Sometimes I invent stuff that helps, such as:
They will never be in my place, nor I in theirs.
Not being satisfied with what I have sometimes gives motivation.
My unhappiness doesn't make me a better person.
Wanting things doesn't make me a bad person.
Being "selfish" is sometimes healthy.
Not being thankful for what I have can only hurt ME, not them, thus making it a personal problem (so no need to feel guilty).
Being happy doesn't mean taking away happiness from others.
There's no need to punish myself for others' suffering.
And the list goes on. Share your positive thoughts! :)
