While I do train my own personal service dogs, I am not certified to train service dogs for others, at least not yet! Please contact a local certified service dog trainer to request a consult on training your service dog. A legal service dog is more than a piece of paper. It requires years of training, education, time, and work with the health care system. Buying a letter and putting a vest on your dog and claiming it to be a service dog is a crime and is punishable by federal law. Do so at your own risk.

I am NOT a lawyer nor do I represent the ADA. This blog features my experience talking with ADA lawyers, other dog handlers, my training experiences, and my years of service dog knowledge over the past 20 years. To get the most accurate info, please contact a local ADA or disability lawyer to be 100% sure you are covered by the law, as service dog and emotional support dog laws vary from state to state, and country to country. You can also contact the ADA for help regarding questions about emotional support animals and service dogs.

Creating a Positive Social Media Feed Promotes Adding Positivity to Your Life

You don’t have to scrap your social media accounts to add positivity to your life. Change your follow settings for accounts you want to visit occasionally, but don’t want constant reminders of drama and sadness. -I am part of a bunch of support groups, but I do not have them on my Facebook feed so I can keep my scrolling more positive.-

Un-follow family and friends that promote negativity.

I don’t follow everyone I know, even if we are family or friends. By knowing everything they do, I am denying myself the surprise of their story when we are together. I only follow people I cannot get together with often and that helps me achieve my goal of adding positivity to my life.

Just because you know someone in real life doesn’t mean you have to follow them.

Find some fun pages to follow.

When I am on social media, they fill my screen with cute animals, funny jokes, and inspiration. There are some great joke groups and cute animal pages. If you surround yourself with depression and anxiety all the time, that is how you are going to start feel. So start surrounding yourself with pages that inspire positive thinking, happiness, and help you feel good.

Creating Safe Spaces to Decompress from Anxiety

You are a product of your environment. You want a solid foundation to help you create positive thinking habits. And that making your home a haven will begin adding positivity to your life. You’ll feel stress melt away in your safe space.

Negative spaces do not invite positive thinking into your life.

I spent years hating my home. My mood was so low because I hated being in my home. We live the life of the military, so we get what they give us. -Our choice is whether to live in a military house with the benefits of saving on utility costs, trash service, and maintenance, or buy a home and take a huge risk that we can’t sell that house at moving time.-

And of course I spend most of my time here. I had this negative mindset that this wasn’t my house, so I couldn’t make it my own. I couldn’t love a house that I didn’t pick. I was very wrong!

So I slowly started changing my environment. And it worked! I started loving being home. I was more relaxed. I was sleeping better. And my marriage improved. I was no longer focused on all the bad, but started seeing the positive again. By creating a space that I loved, I was helping my brain engage in positive thinking.

Give Yourself Time for Self Care

Modern day lives are so busy now. We have high stress jobs. We have kids at home that need us. Pets that want attention and need care. Bills need to be paid. Maintenance on home and vehicles. Homes that need cleaning. Social activities. And it goes on…

-Anyone else feel like they need a break just from reading about life’s stresses?-

Self care is more than just bubble baths though. It’s taking the time to add positivity to your life.

Self care is making little choices that will help you set yourself up to succeed!

  • It’s having Fun Hobbies that help promote positive mental health.
  • It’s breaking down your goals into achievable steps to avoid overwhelming emotions and procrastination.
  • It’s making time for you daily!
  • It’s an at home date night to reconnect with your significant other.
  • It’s eating to fuel your body and not your emotions.
  • It’s conquering feeling guilty and selfish when you spend time and money on yourself.
  • It’s about treating yourself with kindness so you can give your best to the world!
  • It’s about learning to love yourself so the world can love the real you!
  • It’s taking a break to play games with your kids, even when you have chores to do.
  • It’s not piling on stress related tasks on your to-do list. But also adding in some fun!

And let me tell you girl, YOU NEED IT!

You cannot expect to give your best if you are not treating yourself well. You can’t pour from an empty cup.

  1. This is all so true. I try my best to keep the negative nellies out – I’ve had to really distance myself from certain people that are super draining. I had a friend I tried to help for years, but I have despaired of them ever changing. And found that they only ever contacted me to ask for help. And that social media aspect is very on point – negative posts and comments can drag your mood down so quickly.

    Environment is such a big factor. There are so many things you can do in your home to create a safe an uplifting space. And there are so many ways to make changes in a temporary home. It’s great to ‘hear’ that you found a way to uplift your military home life.

  2. Can I just say I love the way our names are displayed in the comments section? It’s so cute and personal!
    And the post is superb. Positivity comes to those who actually take the steps to grab it and hold on. You’ve got some great ideas to make this happen. Thank you for choosing to write on this topic.
