No matter what we deal with, it’s good to think positive thoughts, and draw a line so that we can move forward, and make any new decisions we have to make.
Choose to focus on the following:
- Doing your own research on what you intend to change so that you are comfortable with your choices;
- Breaking those down into a manageable list. Being responsible and accountable for your decisions so that you can stick with your new decisions;
- Focusing on not looking back and moving forward. Staying focused, so that you build your life around any new decisions you make;
- If something changes that you have no control over, there is no real point in worrying about it. Deal with what concerns you and move on;
- The decisions we make are usually right because we’ve made them. If we were supposed to take a different path, we would have made different choices.
The decisions we make will always be right because we made them, although we still should continue to research. Once the research is finished, we have to trust and believe that everything will be okay.
I used to be a whole lot more positive than I am at the moment but I'm hopeful that I can put this all behind mw very soon and look forward without this cloud hanging over my head any longer.
I cannot wait to draw a mental line under the last two years as it has completely drained me.
I understand you completely.
I believe it's important to hold on to your beliefs that all will be well in the end. Time changes, situations change and nothing ever stays the same. You will move on from this.
What happened does seem like a lifetime but I know this will come right. I hope you will try to stay both positive and focused even when emotionally you don't feel all of those things. It should help.
We made the decision to adopt about 18 months ago and it has been a battle since, but we won't give up.
We will be glad when we can put the struggles behind us and have our family together.
I agree. As I said in my original post it's important for us all to try to stay positive regardless of what we deal with.
I'm trying to learn how to think positively since I know it would make my life a lot better.
I grew up in a very negative world,so it has been difficult to change my way of thinking. I know that it will take some time and effort to turn things around.
It's good that you have recognised the need to think positively and it does take time, but it is the first step to changing anything. If you can continue to do it, you will certainly find it helpful.
That is what I always try to do, even more so now that I have more uncertainties to work through.
