I see all too often on here forum members who are having a down day or just need some encouragement. I sometimes can get down like that too so I wanted to start a thread of positive affirations that I hope can be an encouragement to everyone. Please share yours here too and I hope this thread can be a good place for people who need a bit of a lift in their day.
"You are a unique beautiful soul" - Louise Hay
All too often I hear people on here focus on what they think may be wrong with their body or something about themselves. We all have so called "flaws" so instead today celebrate what makes you unqiue and special today.
Although /i have no quotes to add, one thing I have doscovered personally through my own experiences (mostly of naturism), reading, yoga and meditation is a change of my own attitude towards myself where I have learned to love myself more. With this in mind ! have noticed changes in me physically and emotionally which have all been positive - to the point where others have commmented positivley too!
Hope this thread stays popular and on the first page for a very long time!
Thank you Just Jenson, I started a yoga practice a few years ago and I think it has made me feel so much more intune with my body and also helped me realized how strong I can be. I also find that yoga is a wonderful form of stress relief. Thank you for sharing and I want to encourage others who may have not tried toga to check it out, you can start from ANY skill level and a good instrctor will modify for beginners.
"Just breathe" is what I often remind myself to get through a new pose or challenge in yoga class. The same is true in daily life. =)
I'm going to announce that although it's been a rough ride at times, my wife and I will be celebrating 9 yrs married this coming Saturday, 12yrs together in total.
"You are not alone, for I am here with you." This song by Michael Jackson has got me through many tough times where I felt like nobody cared. It's amazing how just a few positive words can make all the difference between giving up and getting up. Great thread. Thank you.

Forgiveness is one of life's most valuable lessons, choosing not to forgive is like swallowing poison and hoping the other person will die! It doesn't take away the pain of what they did but it won't have a power over you either.

Einstein had this to say on forgiveness:-
"Weak people revenge. Strong people forgive. Intelligent people ignore."
I think he has it right - if you don't have the strength to forgive be smart enough to ignore what they have done and get on with the rest of your life,
