good vibes

[tarulliah]

first of all, I think it is awesome to have a 'good vibes' board. There's not enough of that on neopets. In fact, if you try to go off-topic on help neoboard trying to create more positive vibes it generally creates the opposite kind of reaction...(I should know since I learned firsthand ) so kudos to whoever created it!

did you know that the word 'vibes' is slang for 'vibrations'?

positive vibes are good for us, relieving stress and bad feelings. And we can create those awesome vibrations with the simplest of acts, like telling a joke to someone who's upset or sad and watching them laugh, giving a compliment (people who give compliments are awesome. depressingly few take the time to just say a few words of praise to people these days  ), or even just giving someone a nod or a smile.

And the best thing is, both you and the recipient will feel the positive vibration. And that positive energy is contagious, a gift that won't stop giving.

let's pump some more goodness into this world!

This is a kind thought xD

We also have a Banter Board here though and for good reason: there is something called "toxic positivity" which can be harmful! Toxic positivity is where you belittle other people's feelings, shame them for having feelings that make you uncomfortable, or put on a happy mask to hide your own feelings that you fear are socially unacceptable. Human beings are complex creatures and we can't all be happy all the time, especially when there are bad things going on. So be mindful of that as well.

But in general, making an effort to find things to be happy about is always good. ❤

Positive Spin and Banter Board both exist for a reason, and there's no harm in making a thread to spread good vibes in a place dedicated to positivity! Since Positive Spin is its own contained space, it's completely consensual whether someone reads and engages with the threads here, so if someone isn't in the mood or could be hurt by a positivity thread in the moment, they can easily avoid such topics.

We've been working on renovating a small room into my home office. This has been a project for... we'll say close to a year. It's an old family house, so there was a lot of work to be done. Cleaning out the room, repairing the wall, priming, painting, picking out a desk, just a lot done on odd days here and there.

There's still some work to be done, but today we moved the desk into that small room, and I'm typing there right now. And it feels just... good vibes, as the thread title goes.

that's cool...I love it when that feeling gets me
