With autumn blues slowly creeping into our cooling homes and days getting shorter, it’s easy to feel a little down. You may feel a little more sensitive, irritated or generally dissatisfied with the world around you.

And it’s understandable. With the cost-of-living crisis, gloomy post-pandemic reality, Russia’s war on Ukraine, barely affordable housing and ever growing inflation, few things make us joyful these days. And since bad news has penetrated all layers of media, we prepared you a heartwarming antidote – Bored Panda’s compilation of strictly wholesome and feel-good stories, pictures and events that people shared online.

After you’re done, be sure to check out our previous positivity-induced features here, here and here and don’t forget to share them with others in need of a little pat on the back!

Boy Reunited With His Cat He Had Lost While Crossing The Polish - Ukrainian Border

GemEgregor Report

No one said life was going to be easy. In fact, it can be downright tough at times. But despite the challenges we face, we can remain resilient. In fact, some people seem to be much better at it than others.

So to find out more about resilience and the power of positivity, a while back, Bored Panda spoke with Susan Petang, a certified divorce coach and the creator of “The Quiet Zone Coaching,” who teaches people how to stop feeling overwhelmed and start waking up happy in the morning again. Petang argues that the very first step towards building mental resilience is instead of viewing these unfortunate moments as "failures" or "misfortunes," view them as learning opportunities.

It’s important that we sit back and consider a couple of things about any difficult situation we’re in at that moment. “What can we learn from this? How can we use this to become a better human being/worker/parent/partner?” Petang said and added that crucially, it's all a matter of mindset.

Meanwhile, some people are more naturally resilient than others. “It's because they learned to think positively at a young age,” Petang said. It turns out that our attitude towards life - the good, the bad, and the ugly - is formed earlier than we think, way before we go to kindergarten.

“Positivity isn't about putting your head in the sand and singing 'lalalala' when bad things happen; it's actually just the knowledge that we'll be OK no matter what,” the life coach explained.

What’s interesting is how closely positivity and resilience are, in fact, related. “Positivity is the understanding and belief that you'll be able to bounce back from anything; resilience is when you actually do it,” the life coach argues.

“I teach my clients to use The Power Questions. It's a great way to interrupt the spiral of emotions when everything is hitting the fan!” They are as follows:

ADVERTISEMENT

“How important is this, really? Don't make mountains out of molehills.

What is something positive and constructive I can do about this? Be solution-oriented instead of blame-oriented.

What emotions am I feeling right now? By identifying and labeling them, we shrink their power over us."

I did this with my kids when they were little too. Everyone was very happy to answer the kids questions. One young lady did not want to talk about why she was missing a leg but was absolutely amazing. She told the children (with great enthusiasm) that she was sat on by an elephant while visiting the circus. The kids were wide eyed and had questions about how she learned to live without a leg which she answered honestly - it was hard in the beginning and she was still adjusting but that she was really excited to get a prosthetic leg next week. When the kids were satisfied they ran off to play. I apologized if I had made her uncomfortable and presuming that she was ok to talk about her experiences. She smiled sadly but thanked me. She said it was fairly new resulting from a trauma and that she hadn't been prepared for such open honest questions but said it was much much better than the silent stares and whispers. She was graceful, courageous and amazing and my kids remember her well.

I’m always at a bit of a loss as to how to react when my kids ask about other people’s disabilities or appearances in public. I will NEVER shame them for asking a question and always want to emphasise that all people are different somehow, but I feel like I’m left with two options: either I speak for the person in question (which feels rude - giving my own narrative to someone else’s experience) or, ask the person in question to tell their own story (which also feels rude because they don’t owe anyone a story or explaination and are probably just doing their grocery shopping not relive a hideous car accident).

As someone with hidden disabilities that have become present at times and loads of friends/families with visible disabilities, I think how commenter Ienka and OP handle it is best. I’m not the spokesperson for all disabled people and sometimes I’m really not in the mood and tell people that, but I think we’d prefer these responses to the long stares, rude whispered comments, or ignorant assumptions we usually get. Also, my mom encouraged me to “look it up” if I was so curious as a kid and in this age of cell phones and instant info, I think that’s a great way as well. Had a kid help me through a public panic attack that way cuz he looked it up on his cell phone and came over to help, it was awesome and I think about him A LOT.

I don’t understand why people react poorly to disability. An assisistive device whether it be a wheelchair or communication device is a part of that persons body. It functions as a literally part of their body. It’s not weird. It’s not unusual. It’s incredible that we have so many devices out there now to help people access everyday activities, and people who use such devices should be seen as physically and mentally strong and badass.

My family were always keen to answer questions about my brother's disability when in public. As he was mostly non-verbal, we also had a card on his wheelchair that said something along the lines of 'Hi, my name is Scott, I have a neuromuscular disability. I can't walk so I use a wheelchair. I can't speak but I understand and I like people talking to me (not at me). Sometimes I make noises when I am excited and I love to laugh, but sometimes I laugh to much and I can't breathe. If this happens my pulse oximeter will make an alarm sound. Don't get scared but find my mum/carer.' I think it also mentioned something about some of his likes and dislikes.

Is there a way to phrase this (by that I mean the reply to the child) that doesn’t refer to the legs? I’m just wondering as lots of people using wheelchairs don’t have specific leg problems, and it’s one of those common misconceptions that a wheelchair = person has ‘broken’ legs or simply can’t walk. Maybe replace legs with body, would that work?

We love her very much and join her in celebrating her biological father's life on this day. This is one of the few photographs she has with him, and she cherishes it. She keeps it on her desk year-round, but she has been carrying it with her from room to room today.

Not only does that look super cozy, but I’d sleep on the floor with my arm over the pup. Also, to the naysayers, maybe the light was on to get a picture and then turned off to sleep? Were you there? If it were my dog I’d treasure that pic.

If possible, when you have a dry little frog, use water that has been standing for a while, or rain water if you have it.

I’m A Master

I’m A Master

Completed my bachelor's and master’s in 19 months with two young kids. Got pregnant and had a third during this time. While working full-time as an RN during a pandemic. My maternity leave is over today and I head back to work tomorrow. For clarification - the school, western governors university, is a self-paced, competency-based school. If you know the material, you can essentially “test out” a class. Don’t get me wrong it wasn’t without effort - but focus, determination, and paying out of pocket by term, not credit, were big motivators. My BSN took 10 months, and MSN took nine.
