How to stay Positive đ
1. Be yourself. Live authentically. To quote Dr. Suess, âThere is no one alive that is youâer than you.â Donât try to be someone youâre not to impress people. You will always be happiest when you are being your true self.
2. Contribute to the world in any way that you can. Maybe for you thatâs picking up garbage on your way home from work, or giving money to a homeless person on the street, but you will become a more positive person if you are giving back.
3. Be grateful. Acknowledge how fortunate you are and be thankful that you have simple things like heating, food, and shelter. If you are grateful you will always be able to think more positively.
4. Be optimistic. So maybe you missed your 10:30 showing of Beauty And The Beast, are there later showings? Can you plan a rain check? Wouldnât coffee be nice instead?
5. Surround yourself with positive people. Odds are, if you spend your time with negative people youâll become more negative. When we are around positive people we become more positive ourselves.
6. Donât be discouraged. You will never fail until you stop trying!
7. Be a realist. Everyone has their bad days, everyone. Lest, Â I remind you that Walt Disney, J.K. Rowling, and Steven Spielberg, were all rejected before they ever succeeded.
8. Be like Elsa and let it go. Okay so Elsa may not have been the most positive person at first, but by the end of the movie she learned to make a positive out of what was once a negative situation! Donât hold on to anger, fear, or hurt. Keep moving forward and forgive others and yourself.
9. Help someone else. Itâs so easy to make someoneâs entire day. Compliment someoneâs new clothes or hair cut, hold doors open for people, smile at strangers and share inspirational quotes with friends. You will feel so much happier and positive if you make someone else feel that way.
10. Kick fear to the curb. Stop letting âwhat ifâsâ control your life. Be brave and trying something new, or do something that might scare you. Doing something is always better than doing nothing; you might just surprise yourself!
11. Stop and smell the roses. Appreciate everything around you: sights, smells, music. When we donât take time to breathe we become stressed.
12. Put down those chips. Junk food might make you feel good for a moment but it will only make you feel unhappy down the road. Swap a milkshake for a smoothie, Soda for a glass of water or a cup of green tea, ice cream for a fruit bowl and so on. We can actually eat a lot more raw foods than processed foods without gaining weight or feeling bloated.
13. Get out there. Make plans! Stop scrolling through instagram and snap stories feeling bad about yourself because itâs a Friday night and youâre at home. Itâs always nice to stay in every now and then but itâs also enjoyable to get out into the world and socialize.
14. Get your beauty sleep. 7 hours minimum to function and 8 ideally. Itâs impossible to be positive when youâre cranky from not getting enough zâs.
15. Exercise. Find the exercise for you. Maybe itâs swimming, hiking, cycling, yoga, dance, or basketball. Working out will make you feel powerful, happy, and accomplished.
16. Donât compare yourself to others. Other peopleâs beauty does not take away from your own. Yes, Sarah from math class has a really nice smileâŠbut have you seen yours? Wow.
17. Accept yourself. Â Change what you can change and love what you canât.
18. Donât sweat the small stuff. Take yourself out of the situation. Is this really a big deal? Will it affect you tomorrow? What about next week? Next month?
19. Be empathetic. Your friend just cancelled your plans for the evening because he is feeling too anxious. What can you say to show him that youâre accepting of his situation? Can you offer up an alternative plan? People want to spend time with people who are kind and accepting of them.
20. Accept that life isnât linear. There are always going to be ups and downs and that is absolutely normal! You just have to ride the wave  instead of letting yourself drown.
