Bellamy returns to the side for Sunday's trip to Tottenham after serving a three-match suspension, handed out retrospectively by the Football Association.
That arose after Bellamy accepted a charge of violent conduct for striking Swansea midfielder Jonathan de Guzman with his arm during Cardiff's south Wales derby defeat on February 8.
In his absence, Cardiff have been knocked out of the FA Cup by Wigan, held to a goalless draw by Aston Villa, and embarrassingly hammered 4-0 by Hull.
Craig Bellamy: "This is quite a good challenge. If I'm really honest, it really is.
"It's very easy to play well when you're winning games, morale is high and everything looks good.
"But when you're up against it then you see who your good players are, who can really play, and when the pressure is on, who wants the ball and wants to do something with it.
"When things aren't going well you find out who the real people are in the club, and that for me is the challenge.
"So what a great achievement it would be to get out of this, and I'm really motivated.
"Who knows where my career will go at the end of the season, so for me, what a nice way to end - if it is the finish - by keeping this club up in the Premier League.
"That would be a fitting end, a great achievement like last year (when the club won promotion) that I've left the club in a real healthy state.
"I was disappointed with the suspension. The club wanted to appeal, but it was me who chose not to.
"I didn't want my name dragged through anything, or to accuse anyone of anything. I spoke to De Guzman, had a good conversation with him.
"For me personally, it (the incident) wasn't the cleverest thing I've done, but it wasn't the worst either.
"So it was a case of get on with it, take the ban and look forward to the games coming up.
"Unfortunately the three games I have missed were difficult games to watch.
"Hopefully I've an opportunity to make up for it from now until the end of the season."
