As Goldie Hawn once said, "the only thing that will make you happy is being happy with who you are, and not who people think you are." Having a positive attitude is key. Even when life gets difficult and there are low points, it's important to have a positive attitude and always look on the bright side.
When you choose to be positive, you empower yourself to be a more constructive and fulfilled person. This positivity can have a knock-on, domino effect in other areas of your life. Starting each day with positivity radiates throughout a day, within our work, relationships, and more.
In this blog post, we will highlight 10 ways that you can be more positive. Many of these are related to the mind and simply have the courage to cast aside any feelings of doubt or negativity. Lets choose positivity together and get started.
1. Make Positivity a Priority In the Morning
You often hear people talk about how they 'got up on the wrong side of the bed', meaning they woke up in a bad mood that lingers on and on. Instead, strive to start your day with positive thoughts. It can help to have a schedule so you know what you need to do during the day; having purpose each day is key to being positive and happy.
Give yourself some time in the mornings to think about the good things in your life, to take a few deep breaths, and to slowly get ready for another exciting day.
2. Make Laughter a Part of Your Day
It's true: laughter really is the best medicine. Laughing can trigger the release of endorphins, which promote a sense of well-being. If you find yourself in a bad or low mood, it helps to watch something funny on YouTube or surround yourself with funny friends.
After a quick session of laughter, you'll find that you forget about your worries. You'll be amazed how much better you feel after watching a cat video on YouTube!
3. Radiate Positivity In Your Fashion Choices
Here at PSTV Goods, we believe that positivity spreads positivity, which helps to make the world an all-around better place. With our positively-minded clothing line, your fashion choices can help you to stay positive, all the while sharing the power of positivity with the people around you.
Of course, when you purchase an item from us, we'll donate a percentage of the sale to life-changing charities around the world. That's one way to feel better about yourself!
4. Focus On the Good Things In Life
Let's face it, who likes meetings with your work boss? There are certain parts of every day that we just don't love, and that's okay!
Instead, it's better to focus on the good things in our day, like an upcoming dinner with friends or that football game you are going to watch later. Rather than dwelling on the less-desirable parts of the day, focus on the good things in life.
5. Always Remember to Be Grateful for What You Have
If you have food, water, clothing, and shelter, then you already have a lot to be grateful for. If you have a good job, a car, friends, family, and an enjoyable social life, then you have more than many, many other people around the world.
Take time every now and then to take stock of your life. Count your blessings and consider the good things that you have in life. A diary is a great way to highlight the positive things in your life and to revisit when things aren't going so well.
6. Spread Positivity By Volunteering
Another way to create positivity in yourself is to spread it to others. Giving time to charitable causes is a great way to spread joy and happiness. You'll be amazed at how good it can also make you feel; the joy of helping others is one of the greatest feelings you can ever experience.
7. Eat Healthy and Feel Great
Eating junk food may make you feel good at that moment, but it's likely to create feelings of guilt and unhappiness later on. By eating a healthy diet, full of fruits and vegetables, you will both look and feel better.
Eating better has a host of knock-on benefits, such as sleeping better, which can promote feelings of positivity. Also, make sure to drink enough water and avoid excessive amounts of alcohol.
8. Accept Criticism and Learn From It
If we are too emotionally vulnerable to deal with criticism, it can be very difficult to be truly happy. Constructive criticism is essential in our work and social lives, as it can help us to become better people.
If you received some criticism recently, think about it and try to learn from it. This way, you'll turn what you first perceived as a negative into something that can be super positive.
9. Don't Bottle Up Your Feelings
If you have had a difficult day, it really helps to talk to someone about it. Sharing your problems can make them seem much smaller than you had initially thought. Getting your problems out of your head and into the open is one way to shake off any lingering negativity.
10. Get Moving and Exercise
Exercising is great for our minds and bodies. Our bodies release endorphins when we exercise, which reduce the perception of pain and trigger feelings of positivity. So, get moving and start feeling more positive!
