Community provides members support and such support remained on display Wednesday, January 10th, 2024 for the live cerebral palsy X chat #CPChatNow. To tell you more, I am chat co-host Zachary Fenell. Welcome to your weekly recap!

The aforementioned support came into play after chat regular Stephen admitted to feeling down and asked for suggestions.

Veronica responded, advising Stephen, “think of three things you are grateful for each day.” She would go on to add, “They don’t have to be big. Like I’m thankful I woke up this morning.”

Furthermore I recommended, “to not beat yourself up over the past.” Noting, “Unless you have a time machine, that’s a waste. Instead focus on what you could do in the present and future.” My insights ended up resonating with Veronica.

In-particular, Veronica said she brought this up in a recent #bloganuary post. Within the post Veronica answers the prompt, “What would you do different?” Make sure to read the post to see what Veronica had to say.

First though, add to our conversation here. Keeping a focus on suggestions for when you feel down, answer as the week’s extend-the-conversation question, “How do you cheer yourself up when you feel down?”

Reply in the comments below. Who knows? Your answer could help someone through a difficult time. So, please do share.

Afterwards, make plans to join us on X each and every Wednesday. The fun begins at 8pm ET. Until then, remember. Don’t blend in. Blend out!
