Today is Monday July 31st.
It is Motivational Monday and I have a couple of really sweet stories to tell y'all.
I am going to start of the day with the word of the day & quote of the day. A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT IN A WORLD OF HATE, Let's go!
Today's word of the day is " positive or positivity. "
//: consisting of in or characterized by the presence or possession of features or qualities rather than their absence.
**Quote of the day:
"Being positive does not mean ignoring the negative. Being positive means overcoming the negative!"
What does being positive or positivity means to you?
Every day we are bombarded with endless stream of bad news courtesy news and social media .
Let's be real, staying positive can be incredibly difficult in this day and age.
Constantly hearing the impending doom and gloom is downright exhausting.
Back to the question, what does being positive or positivity mean?
It means being cheerful and hopeful, even when you are in the midst of challenges. Positive people look for the good in every situation and are very grateful for what they have.
Do not get me wrong, being positive does not mean you never feel negative emotions or struggle with bad thoughts. Everyone has days when they feel down or discouraged. The difference is that someone with a typically positive attitude, don't let their negative emotions control them.
They would rather focus on finding solutions instead of dwelling on their problems.
That being said, there are so many benefits to being positive. Some notable benefits include:
- Better mental well-being.
Positive people tend to have better overall mental health. They are more resilient in the face of life's challenges. During difficult times, being more positive can help create a buffer against the negative effects of stress.
- Increased happiness. Positivity is also linked to greater happiness.
- Positivity is associated with better physical health. Positive people are less likely to die from cardiovascular problems and live longer than their pessimistic counterparts.
- They have stronger relationships.
Positive people are less likely to have conflicts with others and have healthier, more fulfilling interpersonal relationships.
Fortunately, there are plenty of ways for having infectious positivity that will have you and everyone around you smiling.
- Practicing mindfulness
Practicing mindfulness is as simple as paying attention to how you are feeling, what you are thinking, and considering why, at that moment, you are feeling the way you feel and thinking those particular thoughts. Once you become a pro at living in the moment, you will find that it helps you stay grounded.
- Finding the funny in life
Being able to find the humor in every aspect of your life, especially during the more challenging and difficult times. Laughing at yourself when you make a mistake instead of calling yourself and idiot or stupid.
- Surround yourself with positive people
Well of course you might think. Cutting out toxic people from your life, which can be hard but life changing with the amount of peace you will now have. Instead surrounding yourself with other happy and positive people, it has a compounding effect.
When people around you complain less, you tend to complain less. When they laugh, you laugh. Happiness begets happiness!!
You can learn a lot from positive people. Seeing how positive people react to hardships and negativity can give you something to aspire too.
Remember, the only person that is holding you back from becoming a more positive person is you! So get out there and make a difference in this world!
