[…] Something on Sunday is hosted by Gin Jenny at Reading the End. The idea is to counteract the gloom and anxiety many of us feel by “writ[ing] about something that kept you on your feet that week… something that matters to you.” […]

In the peer-to-peer counseling tradition with which I was raised, there’s a concept called “New & Goods.” The idea is that by identifying and sharing something that happened recently that was good in your life, you focus your attention on the positive and on the present, rather than dwelling in either past hurts or future fears. (There were plenty of ways to address those within a counseling session, but the goal was to learn to live positively, in the here and now, whenever you weren’t in a session.)

It seems to me that your idea for Something on Sundays is very much in the spirit of New & Goods. Both the act of writing our own Something on Sunday, and reading what others have to say, are likely to have a similar beneficial effect. I think you also make a very good point that observing others being excited or happy is contagious and encouraging — especially if what they are excited about is something you love, too.

I’m one of those people who has been struggling to stay motivated to blog this year, for a variety of reasons. So I would love to incorporate Something on Sundays into my future Sunday Posts, if you don’t mind sharing a post with someone else’s meme.

I don’t know if I’ll jump in on this, since I’m still feeling a bit behind on the blogging stuff already on my plate, but I’ll try and I’ll definitely check out what everyone else shares. I think we could all use some positivity right now 🙂
