Hi everyone,

Staying positive can be tough when dealing with health issues, but it’s so important for our overall well-being. Let’s share what helps us keep a positive mindset. Whether it’s a small daily habit or a big change you’ve made, your experiences could really help others. 🌅✨

Do you have any daily practices that lift your spirits? What are your favourite motivational quotes or mantras? How do you practice self-care?

Looking forward to hearing your tips and stories! Let’s support each other in staying positive. 🌻🤗

Stay strong,

Somya from the Carenity team 🌼

I never get angry, anxious, depressed or annoyed everyday is a good day, life is for living, I have exercised extremely hard over 4 years since diagnosis of COPD, I am fortunate I appreciate life too much to let negative thoughts in.

There is absolutely nothing in this world to be worried about, with most diseases or severe health conditions, stress worry and anxiety exacerbate the condition, so wake up every day and live the best life that you can, I have had COPD for 4 years and live a normal life with barely any restrictions.
