Surround Yourself With Positives
Most of us have a lot of stress in our lives. Some of it is due to the fast-paced society that we live in, and some of it is due to who we choose to spend our time with. The fact is, misery loves company. If you want to live a positive and happy life, surround yourself with positive things and positive people. The more positive energy you manifest into the world, the more positive energy you’ll get back. Here are a few things that you can do:
- Set Specific Goals for Yourself
Whether it has to do with diet, exercise, or being positive, set realistic and specific goals, and make sure that you give them a due date. Write down the goal and all of the steps that you’ll take to reach the goal. Then add it to your calendar. Having a goal to work toward will automatically make you feel more positive.
2. Nip Negative Self-Talk in the Bud
Admittedly, I sometimes struggle with this one. If you want to be more positive, start with yourself. When you feel yourself talking to yourself in a negative manner, change it around to positive. Instead of, “I am fat,” change your words to, “I am healthy and I am eating right to make myself even healthier.” Even if it is not immediately true, the more you tell yourself it is true, the more you’ll seek to make the behavior match the feeling.
