Think life is hard - and it’s hard!

When you dwell on your problems or what you don't have, you generate negative energy, and chances are your life won't change for the better. Why not focus on the possibilities?

When you make up your mind to do something, you'll find you can. Instead of thinking about barriers in life, reach out after opportunities. Instead of seeing a locked door, see a key. Instead of thinking about the rough mountain climb ahead, see yourself standing on the summit.

Today, resolve to let go of the struggles and embrace your potential. Your shift in attitude will shift your life from the shadows into the sunshine.

Loving you all, and thankful for the blessings each of you have you brought into my life, and my prayers for your happiness! love, Frenchie ( MonaCherie )

{{{{{{ hugz to all}}}}}

Life is a mystery. It is a gift.
Don't dare miss even a moment of it.
Yesterday was a lesson, today is a prayer,
Tomorrow would mean nothing,
If I can't find you there !

It is really good advice...but how do you change the way the mind works? I'm not trying to be negative. I would love to be a positive thinker like that...for me, it's just so hard to do.
Meds:
Xanax .5mg twice a day
Klonopin 1 mg twice a day
At this time Viibryd 20 mgs

Previous discussions I participated in:
life kicks me while I'm down
hi.
Help?

When u 1st start thinking a negative thought, say STOP NO and try to tell ur mind, ur ok, etc. You have to STOP the neg. thinking everytime, even if u feel it, say NO, IM OK! It is hard, but practing it over and over will help.
