Of all the days worth taking part in this is one of the important ones!

As adults we often don't get enough encouragement from others but we don't actually register it.

Sometimes those words of encouragement, moral support or d even virtual cheering on can make such a difference to people.

Everyone is fighting battles and dealing with things that are never spoken about, so please take this as a reminder that you've got this. You can do it and if times are tough remember you've a 100% success rate at dealing with tough times.

So today what things do you need encouragement for?

And how will you purposely try to encourage others?

Love Ms Wyld (walking motivational meme)

I don't think I need any encouragement today but I'm currently encouraging my son to have a good day at school.

He hates going,always has. Mornings are usually full of arguments.

To help brighten his mood today I have made his favourite lunch and I danced through the house like a loon to make him laugh.

I will also sing the "back to school" song from Billy Maddison on the walk to school,he says it's embarrassing but he laughs every time I do it

Lovely positive thread MsWyld,do you need encouragement today?

Em x

Bless him. My boys hated going too and that makes it so hard for us at the same time. I'm sure he will always treasure those moments too

Encouragement to not eat crap would be helpful but I've already failed by having bounty cookies!

That's ok,you still have the whole day to eat well.

Drink loads of water today and plan something healthy for dinner that you really like.

Life is for living,a few bounty cookies are good for the soul.

I need encouragement to stop looking at Em's arse and drag myself out of bed.

Seriously though.

I've needed a lot of encouragement from others recently just to do the basics in life. It's been hard. But there have been some absolute diamonds on Fab that have been amazingly supportive, motivational and just a friendly ear or two (pretty sure they all had two ears tbh) to chat shit as a distraction.

Fab gets a lot of whinges, whines and moans from many people. But that's because they look at it as a means to an end, and little more than somewhere to look at naked photos and potentially meet others to get jiggy for an hour and never cross paths again, rather than a place with any sense of community.

And it certainly has plenty of caring and compassionate souls, many of whom you don't even know exist til they pop up in your life.

Great thread OP. Hope you have a splendiferous Tuesday!

I need encouragement to keep fighting with the hospital and social care authorities for my Dad. It's a full time job in itself

In a ball gown because that's how we roll in N. Devon

Wyld my lovely, you're a fabulous human

Yesterday I really needed encouragement, I struggled to do anything at all. Breathing was an issue for some of it. And there were people who helped and encouraged a great deal, one of whom probably didn't even realise he helped.

Today, I mostly need encouragement to find the joy. Even with a happy event to look forward to, today I'm living in flashbacks of fear and grief.

But I know that I have some people who will be there. I hope everyone is as lucky with their people as I am.

Today I'm good and don't need encouragement.

But to increase encouragement towards others. I think we just need to say those positive things we tend not to. Be it that is a fabulous dress I love that colour on you to I know you're amazing with xyz can you lend me a hand? I think if people feel positive about themselves they're more likely to encourage themselves, as they're feeling more confident to try.

The system is broken and it's awful how hard you have to fight. However you are doing great and the world needs more people who care enough to keep on fighting so that it can change.

I hope things get easier but until then be kind yourself too and know you are strong. X

Oh lovely, I'm so sorry to read this. I'm glad you have fantastic people but remember you're a fantastic person too, I've seen you give so much to others over the years here.

You deserve to enjoy good times.

Absolutely all of those things are so important. A lovely comment can completely transform someone's whole day.

I actually love to compliment people, it's always genuine but it's sad that so often it's either disbelieved or shrugged off (I do this too) or treated with suspicion!

Keep being that ray of sunshine for others and remember it for yourself too xx
