[GR]: Self Positivity! 21st October at 7:30pm AEDT

[Esperanza67]

Hello everyone!

This coming Monday we're doing a GR on self-positivity! 

Since our Year 12 and uni exams may be digging into our brains at the moment, I think this is a good opportunity to practice some self-love and care (while using it as a great excuse to be on the forums ahaha). 

See you all then this Monday, 21st October at 7:30pm AEDT (or 6:30pm AEST).  (Yes be aware of the timing due to daylight savings!)

@WheresMySquishy i really like that point about self-positivty making you more aware of your rights! Looking at your list is such a good reminder of how man aspects of our lives being self-positive is important in!

What are some benefits of self positivity?

I feel like there are some really profound benefits to practising self-positivity, besides the obvious that it helps you feel okay about yourself! Being self-positive involves a lot of self-compassion, which means it can help reduce feelings of guilt, self-blame, and worthlessness.
