More lovely jubbly from POE!

I don't know if I would call that "jubbly"... it is, imo, a humble, grounded (with the opportunity of completely dropping my pushing-against, and in this, totally liberating myself) embracing of what-is. Something that the fearful Ego tries to avoid as the plague... but when you dare to pull it off, it is SO relief-giving!

There is no jubbly in depression or close-to-depression stances. Jubbly is nowhere near, just as you say. Been there, done that, know it. But TRUE honesty is in reach: In owning, but not playing drama-games.

I so get this. I have a lot of negative momentum going on, too.
Two things:
1) be sure you're taking care of yourself physically, getting enough sleep, exercise, good food, etc.
2) notice when things go well, perhaps better than you'd expected, and feel grateful.

I know it's hard even to think of being grateful when you're in a dark space and it feels like everything's going wrong, but it's good to notice when something works out well for you, even small things. Some people recommend a gratitude diary; I don't to that, just smile and think "thanks".

Couple of days ago I lost track of time, suddenly realised how late it was and knew I'd missed my bus. Took my time getting myself together and wandered outside and blow me if the bus wasn't running late as well, and pulled up right beside me. It was already dark and the driver wondered where I'd appeared from.

I think it must be Abraham who called that kind of thing a wink from the universe.

I think there may be a misunderstanding of the word jubbly. In the the phrase "lovely jubbly", taken from an English TV comedy called Only Fools and Horses, lovely jubbly is a good thing.

web search: used to express delight or approval, eg. "fish and chips and a few beers on the way back from a match—lovely jubbly!"

I genuinely liked the "I did that" notion; it's about recognising one's own power to make things go well or have them go pear-shaped.

That's so nice of you to explain!! That is clarifying!

I- obviously no native speaker, and not familiar with english shows, had looked it up and in my dictionary it was transcribed as sort of bubbly and flippant, superficial celebration
And I KNOW how much it sucks when the "bright-eyed bushy-tailed ones" brush over your pain and darkness, and try to motivate you with positive sounding loo-poetry... , so I wanted to make clear that this is never my intention!

I did it for me, so it's nice that it worked for you too. I never set out to offend people. It just happens.

Perhaps the dictionary thought "jubbly" was another way to say "jubilee" / "jubilation" / "jubilant"

I find that often when you hear British phrases that rhyme and don't seem to make much sense (like lovely jubbly), it's usually a slang for something and not literal. There's a huge amount of such sayings in "Cockney rhyming slang"! For example "Apples and pears" means stairs; "Dog and bone" means phone, and "Pen and ink" means "stink". Occasionally in the UK gardening group I'm in on facebook, someone will say something strange with a saying like that and after a pause of thinking "...what?" I figure maybe it is some kind of Cockney rhyming slang and look it up. I too wasn't brought up on these sayings!

Lovey Jubbly! Actually Only Fools and Horses is one of my Go-To programs when I feel crappy, distracts me from whatever is going on in my life that triggers me. It's my feel good programme, especially when del by falls through the bar stool

I'm guessing you might be from the UK so you might have a good understanding of the term "lovely jubbly" as a cultural relevance. Paradise on Earth I'm figuring is not from the UK, so might not be as familiar....

Always wondered where the character of Del Boy might fit within the context of Abrahams, teachings....he's a "he who dares wins!" and always scheming, and striving, and going on about how "this time next year, we,ll be millionaires!!" Although he does largly rely on action that often backfires and lands him in trouble with the law and other adversities!
But eventually he and his dopey younger brother do...they win their fortune at a Sotherby auction..

(I think del boy and Rodney had actually given up on winning their fortune at this point. Del found an old watch they'd bought at a car boot sale years earlier, and just chucked it aside. Eventually a seasoned antiques relieved it in their garage, and figured out it was worth millions)

In my own life, things haven't been so bad. The dentist appointment actually went pretty smoothly and I nothing went wrong...

Before I went I segment intended. I told myself my dentist is competent and good at her job, she knows what she is doing. She has trained for many years, she knows what she is doing. I trust her. And you know, it went pretty smoothly.
I trained myself a little into realising a good outcome, which I got.

I want to realise more, and more, the power of my own mind to realise things.

I've also manifested a new job, which I have a really good feeling about. I cannot wait to start. Still navigating contrast, but trying improve my relationship with that, and stop trying to micromanaging things.

The girl? Still think about her, but I think it's time to let go......it's still a tough cookie. I need to do some shifting I'm that department, it might take some time.

I have been a little busy, but I am really tempted, just for fun, to create a practising thread called "The Appreciation Gym"......

Because I do go to the gym, and I know when you first start flexing your muscles you start with the smallest weights, and build up from there......anyone wanna join my Appreciation Gym haha
