Today is Positive Thinking Day, established in 2003; it is a day to be grateful for all things positive in life. What could be better than celebrating positivity and reminding ourselves that negativity is just a choice most of the time? Everyone has control over their thoughts and actions, and if there is something in particular that is making you unhappy, you can actively choose to change whatever is making you feel this way.
To maintain a positive attitude, you must realise that everything is relative. What may be great for you could be the worst outcome for someone else and vice versa.
To put it simply, in order to maintain a positive attitude, you must put your life into perspective. Detach yourself from everyday situations and realise that what is happening at any moment is all part of something bigger. It is impossible to maintain a positive mind frame if you scrutinise every minor inconvenience.
So what can you do to help you think more positively?
- Focus on the good things
- Realise what you are grateful for
- Embrace humour
- Spend more time around people that make you happy
- Identify the things that make you unhappy
- Try to start every day on a positive note
