Reminders

Today, I am creating a post where I will write down everything that makes me happy. I have not been positive for a few years. I am in a pessimistic mental state. I have decided I need to write down reminders to help me stay positive and to teach myself to be more grateful for what I have in my life. When I find myself in a dangerous mindset, I can look back on this post and help ground myself.

If you are anything like me and you have allowed life to let you down, then you can follow my lead. Create your own personalized list of positive moments, memories, and what you are grateful for so that you can remind yourself that your life has value.

The list will be added to every day or whenever I feel as though I need to add a reminder.

September 26th, 2025 - Warm Showers

I am grateful for warm showers. On a cold, rainy day, nothing feels better than to step into the shower and be immersed in warm water. I can feel myself melting underneath the water, a level of comfort to the extent that my skin produces goosebumps. I think everyone must experience a warm shower that melts you into comfort. It is the same as taking a warm towel from the dryer and covering yourself with it on a cold day. It is the same as finally being able to climb into your bed after a long day, receiving warmth and relaxation from your bed as you snuggle deep into the cave of blankets.

September 27th, 2025 - Having a sibling, a brother

I am grateful that I have a brother with whom I can share memories. The good memories, the sad memories, and the silly memories. It makes me feel less alone in my life that I can connect with someone close to me. He knows me for exactly who I am. There is no pressure to pretend.

September 28th, 2025 - The Sun

I am grateful for the sun. The sun always makes me happy and it’s always a good day when the sun is shining.

October 6th, 2025 - I am not alone

I am not alone. I have my family.

February 3rd, 2026 - The Rain

I am grateful for the rain. The smell, the feeling of rain on a warm day, walking bare foot in pubbles. Dancing in the rain and being fully immersed into nature. The sound of light thunder in the distance (emphasis on light). I love the rain but not when I’m working in it haha. I love the smell of rain.
