Looking for some ideas

[Celestria]

I hope this is allowed! I basically did a google search to find a positivity forum or self improvement forum and I couldn't find one. I went through a terrible time over the last year and am working hard on learning to live more positively. I'd love to share with others doing the same so I thought if there wasn't a forum for it, I could make one. I have no idea if there is a call for it and if there isn't there isn't, but if there is, that would be great.

I was thinking the sort of things it could focus on is things like meditation, self help books, crafts, gratitudes, advice and support from each other that kind of thing.

Is it worth it or am I maybe a bit over enthusiastic about leaning to be happier..and if it is worth it are there any ideas for it?

You could always try out a few threads on here, talking about specific books / interesting thoughts to test the water so to speak. There is already a gratitudes thread, so you could contribute to that.

I think positivity can reach people in many ways. It can seem quite small, a single post for example, but can cause a complete sea change, in the general Zeitgeist surrounding an issue...

Hi capsium,

I like the gratitude thread, and will definitely take part in some on here too, it would be nice if mumsnet would maybe consider a group for it to have it all in one place though! That's more why I was thinking of a forum with self improvement as it's main topic.

I don't know though, I like to think being positive doesn't really have any boundaries though...it could reach into lots of threads / subjects. There is crossover everywhere...

It might be a good haven though...a board that was for being positive...

Celestria: There's no such thing as being over enthusiastic about learning to be happier.

I think you should start a blog, or youtube vids and get your good vibes out there. Just do it. You don't need approval from anyone else. You know what you have to do.

Sometimes I've had to realise that it's about wading our way through countless sadness that allows us to realise the pure joy that we can have through our own happiness.

I will you every luck, and please: let me know when you get your blog et al set up so I can spread the word on your behalf.
