See title.

I could use a pick-me-up, and what better to brighten my day than to hear about how others are doing well?

As for what’s wrong with me, I suspect it’s a general seasonal malaise, so don’t worry about me. I’d rather hear about you guys.

Welcome back to Sunny Sunday! I'm Crysis Commander. In the next few Sunny Sundays, we'll look at what someone may come across when looking at negative self talk and the challenges it presents. While it is important to know one of the major factors in a lack of happiness, we must know not just where the thinking comes from, but what it is and how to manage it. Let's get started.

Hey guys thought I’d let you know that I’m in a group called Positive ponies, their a nice bunch who want to keep everything positive, so if you want you could head on over link is here.

Is there a limit on how many people you can follow? Cus if there is, that really sucks...
But anyway, I hope your day is fantastic and wonderful, just like you are!

What's up my friends!

So, I want to do a little activity today. Unfortunately, we live in a world plagued by negativity. It's almost the norm in some places to see the glass half-empty. It's frowned upon to admit our accomplishments even at times.

How about we tell that ideology to suck a fat one and have some positivity?

So, it turns about that the Mulan remake tanked. Yeah, that hurts. I know I shouldn’t take it personally, but I kinda do. You see, the two biggest contributors to my enjoyment of a work of fiction are if a story or its characters are able to connect with me on a personal level or if they end up offending me on a personal level. I mean, there are other contributors, but those are the ones that have the most influence on my opinion. However, because I connect to my favorite

'For every negative you hear about, there about ten positives to go with it that you don't hear about because they don't sell papers.'

I never thought I'd like a dark fic this much. The twists and turns make it near impossible to wait for the next update. The emotions feel so real, and the world is very well-built. I honestly have no complaints. There are a few minor errors here and there, but that's to be expected. I hope that as the fic continues, it will continue to hold my interest.

Rating: 8.5/10

I highly recommend reading this article, especially to Christians. I identify as a progressive Protestant (not so deeply religious, though). Toxic positivity is basically the refusal to acknowledge the harsh and cruel realities of the world.

Whatever situation you're currently in, remember that you have the right to feel whatever you have to feel. Emotions are part of being human so don't suppress them. It's okay not to be okay.

I just wanted to say just a little about myself, and the experience I've had with this site so far.

I'm a student, in a relationship, living at home with my mum and twin younger brothers. For various reasons, I couldn't leave the drink alone for years. I took social drinking to stupid levels, and as a result got in quite a bit of trouble at points.

Hello readers, this is Crysis Commander. As some of you may know, I returned from a bit of an unplanned hiatus. Why I was gone is not important, but what is important is why I’m here once again. Bronies, the community and its members have helped me tremendously in the past several years, and now it’s my turn to give back in a way that might help others.

Hello readers! Crysis Commander here, returning for another Sunny Sunday. Yes, when I said this was going to be a weekly series, I was serious. Last week I mentioned that happiness overall is a choice as it simply a way we can react to various stimuli, whether in our favor or not. Today we'll look at the ways people fall into negative thinking and self talk. The first step in adjusting an issue to know the root of it. Let's get started.

So, a dear friend of mine, Crystal Wishes, decided to spread some positivity with these Share a Smile blogs. The concept is simple:

So after months of attempting to get people to give me feedback on Elements of Honor, and after everyone going, "Nope, I ain't reading all that", I finally—freaking finally—received a review. And it's a positive one, too.

Thank you, Feather Note, for putting up with my insufferable pacing and prose. I have the biggest smile on my face right now!

I'm making a note here

HUGE SUCCESS

You guys seem to like my story thus far. That's excellent.

Feel free to point out any mistakes I might have missed.

If you have any questions or criticisms, feel free to post them and I'll get back to you.

Stay tuned for Chapter 1: Patience and Time.

The way I keep getting invited to this group feels like a personal attack

Hey!

So, I just published the first chapter of my story! I'm thinking of commissioning a friend for a drawing for a new cover! Check out Chapter 1 and give me some positive criticism? That'd be great! Thank you so much!

Happy New Year, everyone (if anyone) who takes the time to read this! I hope y'all had as nice a holiday season as possible. Mine was… actually pretty good. 2015 was a hell of a lot better for me than 2014 was. Hopefully 2016 will be better still.

I'd like my first post of this year to be overall positive, so I'm going to save talking about other stuff for future posts.
