Especially in those times, it is important to not completely sink into negative thoughts, which can be very hard some days. This small Python script displays positive phrases in a randcmized order. The displayed sentence changes every five minutes. Give it a try, let it run alongside your other applications, look at it sometimes. Of course, no success can be guaranteed, but it will most likely not cause any harm.
The script needs Python 3.6 or above to run. It is a command line / terminal application. If you are using a Linux system and have the notification service enabled, use -n to use that as a means of output. If you try this and end up with strange error messages, gather information how to install the notify-send command on your machine. If your Linux system does use an X Server, you can pass the -xm param to have message boxes appear.
You can contribute to the project if you feel like it. In this case, you agree that your contributions will become part of the MIT license. Feel free to make PRs. Possible tasks:
- Add support for other languages.
- Add command line params for more options.
- Add new positive affirmations! The pool of possible sentences is still small.
