Ten Positive Affirmations About Me
Every once in a while it does us all a bit of good to take stock in ourselves. I know many people who suffer from depression, and I always give them two parts of sound advice. The first is to always keep an "anchor" list with them -- on their person, at home, at work, etc. The "anchor" list is a list of things that are good in your life right now. It can be as simple as eating ice cream and as complex as caring for an elderly relative.
My second piece of advice is to write a list of positive affirmations about yourself. Usually, but not always, begin with the words "I am". With that in mind, I offer you my periodic table of positive affirmations
8. I am trustworthy.
9. I am optimistic.
10. I am funny.
Like the "anchor" list, this is a helpful list to remind you why things could always be worse. I hope you can make such lists, too, and they are as helpful to you as they are to me.

How ironic that you chose to post this, and then today was a depressing and crappy day for many of us around here...
If only I had the energy to think of 10 positives right now. I have found myself stuck at number 5.

Nigel, you should expand on number 10. You should say, "I can make people laugh." And you do, and that is a valuable talent to have. People need to laugh more. You are very funny, and you make people laugh. And that's a good thing.
I hope you're having a great long weekend. It was a long weekend in Canada as well, and the weather was spectacular.
