Being Positive by Choice

Is being positive something you need to think about? Does it come naturally to you? Is it hard to do? The level of difficulty depends on the situation you find yourself in and on the state your mind is in.

It is easier to be positive when everything is going your way. Did you get a promotion or raise at work? Your kid is happy? Did you get a dog or ate your favorite food? In these situations most of the time you don’t need to try hard to be positive. It almost comes naturally, as if the world is your plaything and you are on top of everything.

But, what about when things are not going well? What can you do at those times? Is it worth it to somehow be positive in those moments? Yes, it is both worth it and important. By being positive you can find a way to move forward, a way to start looking for a solution, if one can be found, a way to lower your stress and be healthier. Remember that stress, sadness and negativity can affect your health.

How can you go back to being positive? Try to look for the good points of the situation. Look for how these can help you learn and grow. Don’t let yourself become stuck, find a way to move forward. Talking to friends a family can also help you to overcome it. You might even find that doing a hobby helps you with this.

It is important to remember that there are some situations where you might need some professional help. Thar is ok, the important thing is for you to be able to go back to be happy and positive.

Always remember that you are not alone, even if it seems like the whole world is against you. There is always light at the end of the tunnel. The situation you found yourself in might not be by choice, the negative feelings that come to you might not be by choice, but it is your choice to move forward and if needed to find help to move forward. It is your choice to be positive once again.

Never give up and always move forward wirh a smile on your face.

The End and the Beginning

Today is the day when the current year finishes, and it is also the moment when a new year starts. This particular year has been an incredibly challenging one, full of surprises one moment after another, full of tears and fears, but also full of hope and light.

During this moment we remember those that we have lost, those that are still with us. We can remember our accomplishments, our challenges, and our life. We can remember how we made it to this moment in time.

As we remember those moments, we should look for the positive that came from all that has happened this year. It is definitely not easy, but positive we must find. We should remember how instead of giving up we moved forward, how we made to this moment, to the start of this new year.

How about this coming year? How do we approach it? Does it mean that all the challenges have disappear? What will or future be? We might not know, but we should not despair. Always have hope, never give up to despair.

Challenges will always be there, but our will to overcome them will also be there. Approach what is coming with a positive attitude, with a smile on your face. Your attitude makes a big difference in your life and in the life of those around you. Be a beacon of light and hope to those that surround you, be someone who shines with a light that overcomes the shadows.

Be Positive

These is the season when you see people excited, celebrating with friends and family. The season of warm and smiles. But, we have to remember that many times this is not the type of feelings that come during this season. Sometimes what comes are feelings of depression, reminders of being alone, of better times.


Especially right now this is true, with road blocks to family and friends getting together to celebrate, to share and have fellowship. Does this mean that we should not have joy, that we should not be happy? No, these are the moments that we have to continue to move forward, to find the positive in any moment that comes.


Remember that happiness starts from within, and being positive is a very important step in order to achieve it. If you have negative thoughts, then your mood will go down and sadness will approach you. Being positive is very important in order for us to be happy.


Having this mindset is not an easy task, there are a lot of external factors that affect us, that can change our mood and our thoughts. Remember to always try to find the positive in anything that comes your way. Find a way to make it work for you, not against you. The more that you do this, the more it will become a habit for you. Make being positive a habit, make being happy your mood.


Once you accomplish that the work is not over. Maybe you know a friend or a family member who is struggling with feelings. Help them, share your happiness, but remember to be gentle. You don’t want to be a bulldozer that tries to fix their feelings according to your will. You are there to help them, but it will always be their choice on accept your help and how to proceed. Be gentle and supportive. Be an example that radiates true happiness.

Happiness

What is happiness? How do we find it? These are questions that eventually during our life will make it to our heads. How do we answer them? Are we going to be positive or pessimistic? Are we going to be excited thinking about it, or are we going to frown at that moment?

How can we be happy? Every person will give you a different answer. Some will say that they are happy with the family, some that going to a concert brings it to them, and some will tell you their favorite food is enough to make them happy.

Does this mean that there is a right and wrong answer? Not really, happiness depends on the individual person, but there is one variable that will always be present, and that is as positive thinking at that moment and for that action. If you do not have positive thinking, then you cannot be genuinely happy.

Our minds are incredibly powerful, they can control how we react and how we feel. Therefore, it is imperative to be positive and not negative. Negative thinking will always bring negative results. What is in your mind will always surface, be it positive or negative.

Always strive to find the good in anything that you do or that happens to you. By finding the good you will be able to control your negative feelings and you will be one step closer to be genuinely happy.  Do not react to what happens to you, learn to control your feelings, and find the best possible way to move trough that moment in your life.

You are not alone; you are not an island in the middle of the sea. Find a connection with your family and with your friends; these are other keys to find that internal happiness that we all desire.

You are responsible for your own happiness, you either will let the environment control you or you will learn to navigate through it without being controlled by it. Find the positive in everything that you do, become happy one step a time, and once you do, share it with the ones that surround you. Create a positive circle, not a negative one. Be a happy and always move forward.
