Day 13 Sat Jan 29th

While sorting some boxes in my room I came across some nail polish and some photos I haven't seen in a while. I took a break and looked through the photos and painted my nails.

Day 12 Friday Jan 28th

For fun today I helped can steelhead. Sounds like work but I haven't ever done it before and it was fun.

Day 11 Thur Jan 27

I had fun making up word associations while studying for my G&E test. And while this may not be totally following the directions and I was thinking about the stupid positivity article and it said part of it is being able to notice positive things. So I decided trying to figure out what I did that was fun is along those lines.

Day 10 Wed Jan 26th

I went on a walk today for like 30 min. It was for fun so I vote it counts as playing. But I really am going to try to set aside time and really do the 15 minutes of art or playing thing and not just being like sure this counts.

Day 9 Tuesday Jan 25th

I went into town and hung out with people for about an hour at night. I vote chatting with people I don't see often counts as playing.

Day 8 Mon Jan 24th

Went to a birthday party and I went into town and went out for lunch. I vote those count as playing.

Day 7 Sun Jan 23rd

Umm don't think I did anything. Went to not a birth got home slept for a few minutes, went to church, slept some more, ate dinner, and then went to bed early.

Day 6 Sat Jan 22nd

I played puzzle and crochet for a while.

Day 5 Fri Jan 21st

Played puzzle and talked to my sister on the phone for a bit. Then at night had people over and we played cards for like an hour.

Day 4 Thur Jan 20th

Once again made a plan to do something then it didn't happen. I did "play" watch a movie though...

Day 3 - Wed Jan 19th

Played puzzle for 15 min. I also set up a table in the non-bedroom half of my room so I will have somewhere to do stuff.

Day 2 - Tuesday Jan 18th

Once my temp got back down to normal and I finished my homework I though about playing. I even had a plan about what I was going to do but then I went to my room to get a puzzle, I got distracted and totally forgot about til I was in bed for the night.

Day 1 - Monday Jan 17th

Was sick and running a fever most of the day and didn't really feel like playing. Closest I got was when I gave up on trying to do homework and just watched tv for like 30 minutes.

Intro

For counseling for the childbearing year 1 we have a positivity assignment. It is to "Select one of the proffered positivity “strategies” and keep a daily journal or checklist. Complete the assignment by completing a one to two page essay regarding your thoughts about the strategy you chose and the impact it has had upon you."

Not a fan of positivity but we'll see how this goes. None of the suggestions actually sounded very fun and I found it kind of annoying that some were only 3-5 minutes and others were 30 (which doesn't make sense to me) but another student mentioned art for the 15 min of playtime a day one so I figured yeah sure I can do art or play, whatever.
