#22: You don’t have to be positive all the time (FB)

Distracting yourself with ways to avoid your feelings (alcohol, drugs, sleep) is not likely to make you feel better. Instead, it’s bound to deepen your sense of hopelessness. Try creative ways of being YOU like journaling, drawing, singing. Move your body in ways that make you feel good. Practice self-care and positive self-talk, and practice gratitude for the things you have.
