List Something Positive You Did Today?

Hi everyone

Joanna how cute is your dog? Your doll is so realistic, what a lovely present :-) I'm not surprised it cheered your day up :-)

Dave you sound really busy and I bet it's really fulfilling getting all your things sold or ready to sell. Well done you, you sound like you are really making progress :-)

Dahlia your anti wrinkle cream sounds fab you should start selling it. You will make a fortune on here, I'm sure we've all got a few wrinkles caused by all our stresses and anxiety lol. I no I have :-)

Prettygreeneyes, your course sounds great and it's lovely to learn things like that its a fab idea for Xmas coming up. I think people appreciate home made gifts all the more after all the hard work put into making them :-)

Well my positive from today is I've been having really bad anxiety symptoms, but I've been working through them and haven't once thought I was going to die lol. I'm still feeling shaky and having palps, which aren't nice but I'm working through it and recognising its anxiety and that I'm not on deaths door lol. My cbt seems to be really helping I'm back there on Thursday.
Hope everyone has a great day :-)

Oh and just back from the local bonfire and fireworks, freezing now and tired but had fun :-)

Thanks guys!

Love the bonfire pics, Hannah! They are awesome! Also, so glad to hear that the CBT is helping and that you're managing to keep the anxiety symptoms in their place and not react to them!! That is wonderful!

Dave, I didn't know you were planning a big move. That must be incredibly stressful. I find that just packing a few things to go away for the weekend stresses me out. Let alone packing everything up for a big move. It's very good to hear that you are selling some stuff and making some extra cash that way. And I agree that getting rid of some of the excess clutter we all inevitably accumulate can feel very liberating. Also, I can see how you would be really busy right now and how that could help in some ways. I really hope it all goes as smoothly as possible, Dave!

Dahlia, congratulations on the home-made anti-wrinkle cream!! I could use some of that!!! I could use some of those bath bombs too, prettygreeneyes!!! Must be lots of fun making those things! I bet you'd do well selling them too (and Dahlia the anti-wrinkle cream!)

Hope everyone is doing ok today!

Prettygreeneyes I envy you, I think I should find some kind of course for myself, can you share some of the things you do?

I'd also like to know more as well pretty green eyes. Of both the spiritualist and the thinking on little ventures. My wife has a little venture going by means of shifting for another company Via Ebay ... however Ebay is getting a little harder to make ends meat out of. We are currently thinking of things we could possibly sell at the markets. Needs to be easy to setup though - getting in and out without all the fuss makes less demanding. Done it a few times before. Going overboard with products that require policing and LOTS of nick knacks can be frustrating. I think marketing one easy type of [product is best ... and home made stuff like your talking about usually does well. You might even be able to soucre out cheap items to accompany what you make at home like goats soap or similarly stuff like that ... depends whats selling. Having said that though ... it's hard to corner the market in something original these days ... however If your interested, I'll sing out if we can think of any such new and inspirational ideas.

Today I got a LOT done! :)

Hey guys thanks for the interest in my quirky side :) I've always been into spiritual things......I'd also always wanted a reading doing so after my dad died I bit the bullet and went to one who was recommended......she basically sat down on the floor and started talking! She knew only my first name, she described my grandma and grandad to a t, she described my whole depression thing and predicted the start of anxiety and stomach problems, she has both times told of my new career, apparently I'm more creative than logical, I'd just started these course's at school doing nail art at this time which to my suprise I was good at! She got onto my dad telling me nicknames of the other brothers/sister that their grandad had for them. It's all on cd. I actually sit and listen to them from time to time. First one is lovely second one was telling me of my worries and he mentioned a person who I'm not trusting, he's running rings round my mum, but it's ok because it will be sorted just not by me! I find it comforting. She also said I can speak to spirits so just don't know I can :/ I will be going again next year, she's like therapy for me
She works hard to get proof, things only i would know! And some things I have had to ask other family members about!


Bath bombs were a major success I've just ordered some bits to do some more :) but I want to look into which essential oils are best for different things like depression and so on.....I'm going to get them tested and sell them as a little side line. I can't sell them until I have them tested by a pharmacy and have a certificate. Next Monday is making soaps and lip balms. I'm going on Amazon to get an aromatherapy book to look into the oils and then start my collection. The spiritualist shop sells these :) all these courses are run free at my childrens school! They have come at just the right time. Must have my guardian angel looking out for me :) actually the spiritualist did mention a great great grandma called Annie who looks after me. That's my next project. To research my family tree!!

I'm probably waffling on now!

Hope you guys have had a positive day

I find aromatherapy works well for me ... that is when my sinus is not playing up. I always loved brushing my hand over the different herbs I use to grow to set off the aromas. I used lavender and lemon balm together with great success to make a tea. I did the same with Camomile flower which worked like a relaxant, that took effect within a minute or two. I really miss not being able to grow my vegetables and herbs. It's such a shame ... always moving all the time as in Australia, there is no such thing as a long term lease ... I wish you the very best with your venture ... sounds impressive to me. Its a shame that such natural remedies are left to the elderly and sick to pass on ... perhaps a generalized statement but in the context of so many remedies being banned in Australia, I think I have a point somewhere in that. I used to love growing Comfrey. That is one of the many banned in our country. Not a hard plant to grow really.

Thanks for sharing your experience with the spiritualist. Obviously she did not pick you out of the crowed :) I am very open to things like intuition, however I can't help be skeptical due to a lot of religious brainwashing. None the less, I am actually finding a lot of healing in the people I get a genuine vibe from and doing my best to remain open makes that process all the more real to me. I don't understand the full concept of Charkras but I am able to glean much from what I learned on that. Mindfulness whilst may not be really considered spiritual, I find very much helps me to attune with other concepts by helping me tap into intuition itself ....

Again, I wish you the best ... hope you enjoy any of those courses if you decide on taking one up. No matter what one believes, I guess if it leaves people feeling positive and those around them, then that's got to be a good thing. :)

Also wishing everyone else a good evening and day.

Dave. ;)
Thanks for making me feel better -

Attachment 658Ponder that a hell of garden;)) Spending time touching herbs and flowers, smelling them keep you grounded and connected.
Greeneyes.. Hm She is a medium obviously, if she can sense or even see people on the other side, A lot of people can but they never talk about it, worrying that others will not accept them. I think it is fantastic you are trying to do more for yourself.. My collection of Essential oils is growing also, I have 99 % what i needed. I love sandalwood and I have it always close to me. Just closing my eyes and smelling it, gives me incredible pleasure and it calms me down.
We should never neglect our spiritual side, I am happy you are on your path. It is going to be bumpy, but it will give you the happiness ...;)

Attachment 659 Decorative garlic, loved by bees:))) My garden have more or less 200 square metres, there is a lot ;)

Wonderful seeing everyone's gardens! Is that a photo of your current garden, Dave? I'm really sorry you have to leave that behind. Is there a garden at your new place?

Fascinating to hear about your experiences with the spiritual healer, prettygreeneyes! Wow. I'd really like to go and see someone like that too. I once went to a psychic but it was very disappointing and I felt it was a scam. Nothing like what you describe here. So glad you had a positive experience!

On another note, I was wondering how you are getting on with Remeron (Mirtazapine), prettygreeneyes. I was thinking of switching to this medication. I know it's different for everyone, but I was just curious. I know you said you thought it was helping. Really hope it still is!

I've been feeling depressed again the last couple of days. My positive today was that I had another nice chat with my Mum on Skype.

Hope everyone is doing ok!
