No matter how dark some days get, I hope that you'll look for and find the positives.
After all, the sun is still shines behind every cloud. You are still you despite the dark times you're going through.
A question that might help bring some positives to light is: What opportunities exist for me because of my chronic condition?
Some possible opportunities are:
- To slow down and reconnect with yourself & the people closest to you
- More time to reflect on your values and life purpose
- Excuse to reset your life
And I'm sure there'd be many smaller positives too, such as:
- Plenty of time to go through your "to read" list
- Opportunity to binge your favourite shows (I hope there are some comedies in that list!)
- Learning to appreciate [[31Wishes-16|the small wins]]
- No choice but to [[Rest]] more often
Looking for the silver lining in every cloud will increase your chances of it.
