lulupetals is a mental health and lifestyle blog. It's mostly about my stories and experiences with mental illness, but includes some sociopolitical topics and lifestyle entries - with additional pages to appear soon. Best reading platform is the PC, as the Mobile version omits all keywords/labels and my entries are so long. Please read "On privacy" about EU privacy and cookies laws ; "Intro" & "blog manual" to navigate.

313- 52weekgratitude - The end?
I followed 52weekgratitude's from start to end this year, which is more than I thought I would.
Indeed, I believed that I'd give up on it fairly quickly, because I wasn't a very positive person and some days, my struggles with depression made me even more negative. I had to adapt a few of the prompts, but managed the entire challenge !
This week ends the year with the question : did this challenge change you?
The answer is yes, to the extent that I learned to be more regular in my posts and to follow this challenge ; it also helped me reduce my negativity and to express more clearly some of my gratitude to friends, and general situations or to realise more positive aspects in my life.
The answer to no, it didn't turn me from who I am, it merely extended who I am into a slightly better version.
So, I'm grateful that I found this challenge, and since my struggles aren't over, I'll need to continue practicing gratitude and think more positively in the times ahead. Maybe I'll find another challenge to do so with.
