What is a word that means gargantuan in a positive sense?
As in "this thing has had a gargantuan positive effect on me."
I'd like to replace the underlined portion with a word that means extremely large or profound and carries a positive connotation.
Just for some context - I'm trying to say that something has had a profoundly positive impact on me.
So is there a word for this? I appreciate any suggestions you may have.

Thanks for your reply.
It's for an english paper but both humongously and extremely dont carry the sort of posotive connotation that I was looking for. I would still have to say "an extremely positive effect" or "a humongously positive effect."
Is there a word that I could use in substitution of a word that means very large or profound and a woord that carries a posotive connota

Hi,
The word 'humongous' is not appropriate for formal writng.
How about just saying 'a profound effect'?
Much depends on the nature of the effect,
eg an uplifting effect
eg an inspiring effect

It's hard to think of one because "positive effect" is practically meaningless. What effect?
