'My feel good' folder
A couple of years ago, on an emotionally heavy day, a friend sent me a message that really lifted my spirits. I took a screenshot of it and saved it in a folder on my laptop called “My Feel Good Folder.”
Since then, I’ve kept adding to it — a positive review for my work, a photo of my kids at their happiest, an encouraging voice note from my best friend, a random “thinking of you” message from someone across the world or a small achievement.
On dull or difficult days, I open that folder and scroll through those little reminders of how people in your world can uplift you and make you smile. It only takes a second to save something like that, but the comfort it brings later can be surprisingly powerful.
Does anyone else keep something similar?
