This is Day 14 of the 21-Day Positivity Challenge held in March 2012, where we work on being positive for 21 days. The challenge is now over but you can do the tasks in your own time. Visit the overview page for all the tasks.
21DPC Day 14 Question
There are many great things we have in our life. However, do we ever stop to celebrate them?
My positivity question to you today is:
What are 5 Things to Celebrate about Your Life Today?
For those with Live a Better Life in 30 Days, check out Day 14: A Day of Gratitude too, on being a more grateful person.
Your Task:
- Reflect and answer today’s question(s). Write as few or as many words as needed to fully express yourself.
- Give thanks for those 5 things. As you get through today, give thanks for having these 5 things in your life. It can be as simple as giving gratitude to the universe. It can be being more appreciative of the item as you are using it today. If one of the important things is related to people in your life (for example, kinship, friendship, love), give thanks to them, by way of a simple thank you note.
- Identify at least one positive thing about your day. It may be something small or something big – as long as you deem it as something positive, it counts. If you have more than 1 thing to share, then by all means, go for it!
Share Your Answers!
After you are done, share your answers in the comments area.
If you’re doing this at the start of the day, you can post your answer for today’s question first, then work on your positivity task throughout the day, then return at the end of the day to share your results for your positivity task and your end-of-day positive reflection.
Check out other participants’ answers. Pick 1-2 participants’ answers and make a meaningful reply to them. Engage in the discussions. This is a group course, so let’s support each other in these 21 days!
Look forward to reading your responses!

What are 5 Things to Celebrate about Your Life Today?
I listed 6 of them! Please find them below.
– My relationship with “mon chéri”, happy to have him in my life! LOVE rules, I learn to love deeply and in a positive way on a daily basis, good and useful skill! :love:
– A raise in my salary, a VERY significant one! I learned about this today and I am very, very happy! I asked for this in a positive, open and enthusiastic way and the results are brilliant. I feel like dreaming… not sure if this is all real. Too beautiful to be true! :mrgreen:
– We celebrated my salary increase and went to the small restaurant nearby. It was really nice, simple, delicious and not expensive.
– This week I took part in two very interesting and useful in house trainings. One was about Leadership and Management, the other one about influencing people, communication and culture. Very good experience which enriched my daily work routine!
– It is happy Friday time, a starting point of the weekend so certainly a good thing to celebrate!
– Tomorrow I am going to attend a Toastmaster’s event where I will listen to some great carefully prepared talks, some improvisations and evaluations; meet a few growth oriented people. Happy about it! :dance:
Let’s celebrate! ;)
What are 5 things to celebrate about my life today:
1. My husband. I have the BEST husband and I am so happy and blessed to be married to him.
2. My health. I’ve struggled with a Thyroid disease this past year (just found out about it last year), but I’m responding well to my meds and I’m feeling better than ever!
3. My job. I am so thankful for my job. I love where I work and the people I work with are amazing. The money isn’t bad either, which helps! ;)
4. My home. I live in the most wonderful city/state. I’m able to do all my favorite outdoor activities pretty much all year (hiking, snow shoeing, camping). The sun shines on average 300 days a year. And let’s be honest…sunshine makes a person (especially this one!) very happy!
5. Myself. I am so comfortable with who I am now. I’ve always struggled with figuring out who I was, and what I wanted out of life, and I finally feel like I am where I’m meant to be!
I just feel so blessed with such a wonderful life. Not that I don’t have ups and downs, just like everybody else, but I am just a happy girl!
One positive thing about my day: I finished my 2nd week of my 5k training (Couch to 5K). And I’m doing really well so far!
Five things in my life to celebrate:
1. Enjoyable relationships with boyfriend, daughter, niece and many friends
2. Good heath and the ability to be positive
3. Enthusiasm and enjoyment of many activities including crafting and hiking
4. Great opportunities to learn through reading and computer access to internet
5. Wonderful home environment (sanctuary) with my four beloved felines
The positive today is my home-made cabbage soup … oh, its so good!
1. Knowing God
2. My landlord – he is a very nice kind man.. ( i think) he takes care of us strangers and makes sure that we are comfortable
3. My family – Even though we are not in each others life constantly, we support each other through the good times and the bad times
4. My education – I have been able to see myself though higher education with my own determination and blessings from God

:clap: One positive thing about my day today is going for an evening run with my colleagues at the end of the day and the work week.
The five things I should celebrate is my good health, my support system who are there on countless ocasions, my savior Jesus Christ, wonderful books, and of course music!!!!!
Today I am going to go for a walk to help promote that health and take some time to show my gratitude to my support and I am going to spread the word of how amazing my savior is to everyone, and of course I will end the day in some fine reading!!!!!
One postive thing about today is this challenge.. I woke up pretty pathetic and not willing to do anything. This quickly changed that perspective!!!!
I have a decent place to live. I have hot running water! I have electricity. I have a dependable car. I have wonderful children! I am strong! I have choices! I am on a healing journey!
I paid the rent :) I can relax about that, finally.

positive things for today
I had lunch with an old firend, had good time chatting :lol:
Ooooh, tough one. I’ll list the first 5 that come to mind and see how it goes…
1) Being allowed to do things I love, be it Psychology or general discussions about the world with the awesome people in my life.
2) The learning possibilities in the world. Being able to study abroad, borrow books from a library, find information online, talking to other intelligent people with their own passions.
3) The ever-more-aware society of people accomplishing wonderful feats, pursuing great causes, solving critical problems. I’m hoping to meet many of them on my life journey and have the chance to work together on great things :)
4) The beauty of certain things in our world. By beauty I mean not only visual but also music, food, humour, etc. That we can enjoy these things and delight in the cleverness of creation.
5) Being a strong individual. Having realised that I’m responsible for my life, that my choices are mine to make, that it’s OKAY and actually necessary to make mistakes, that I can speak out what I think and feel without feeling embarrassment for anything that I am.
I think the best way to show gratitude for all this is by making the best use of what’s been provided and feeling worthy for all of it :D
Positive yesterday: Philosophy discussion on education. We seemed to agree that there’s certain things that should be taught to everyone to make them fully functioning citizens (politics!) and that it must not be restricted to the upper classes. Also, individual abilities should be considered, not going with a one size fits all approach. And we should teach them ethics based on Pokemon…
Wait, what? O.o
1. Life

3. Job (as in I have one)
4. House
