Staying positive…”If you think you can do a thing or think you can’t do a thing, you’re right.” Henry FordWe’ve all been there. You’re somewhere with a group of people, and there’s that one person that is negative about everything. As they talk, you feel like the life is being sucked out of you. When you leave their presence, you feel as if a weight has been lifted off your shoulders. You begin to feel “normal” again. That my friends, is what negativity can do to a person. It affects our minds, our psyches, and our physical bodies. Negativity causes stress. You need to deactivate the negativity. We all do!
Being positive is really just about being grateful, and content. Here’s my daily ritual for staying positive:
1) Wake up and give thanks for being alive, for being warm and cozy, and having the love of family and friends. Because being grateful will cause you to have more to be grateful about! It’s true. Sending out positivism in everything you do, only brings more of it back to you!
2) Tell yourself as you get ready for your day that it’s going to be a great one! EXPECT it to be a great day! I am always reminded of that quote above from Henry Ford. Decide that you CAN have a great day, in spite of whatever it brings. Life happens, things go awry, but being positive helps you stay balanced and calm. You CAN handle what comes your way.
3) Give someone your positivism by being kind, complimenting them, and just making them feel better because they encountered you today. Give others your sunny, positive attitude! It’s contagious. Give yours, and you’ll get the same in return!
Everyday is a new day, which brings hope. Staying positive allows that hope, peace and love to come into our hearts and our minds, and makes us want to share it with the people around us. We feel empowered because our positive attitude keeps the negativity at bay. Surround yourself with positive people, and you’ll feel the energy, too. Your mind, body and spirit will thank you for it!
