Welcome to spring! Well… almost.
How are you doing?
It’s been roughly a year since the pandemic started effecting our daily lives. Not many people would say it has been easy.
With 2020 being a tough year for most people, we want to help you regain some of that positivity that you may have left behind. Let’s start out with some positivity goals! We've compiled a list if our top 5 positivity goals to help make 2021 your best year yet!
If you want to jump to one right away, here's the short list!
5) Be grateful
1) Change those negative thoughts for positive ones
The first thing we want you to do is to work on swapping your negative thoughts out for positive ones. We know that this isn’t always easy to do, especially when it feels like we are bombarded with negative feeds from our various forms of social media.
What you need to do, is every time you have a negative thought, stop and then tell yourself to have a positive thought. Or if you say something negative, follow it up with a positive statement about the person or situation.
Is that always easy when someone is rude to you in a store? Not always, but try it. When you catch yourself thinking, or even saying, negative thoughts, you will start to notice that the positive thoughts will take over. As a great result, when you have positive thoughts, you will find that you are a happier person.
So always do your best to think positive!
2) Find the positives everywhere
Second, look for the positive in every situation. Again, we know this isn’t easy, especially in tragic situations. Some of the time though, we can find the positive if we look. Even if it means we need to change our perspective.
An example could be, being told to stay at home. How many people complained about this in 2020? How about looking for the positive in this situation. Maybe this meant that you got to spend more time with your family and watch them grow as people. If you live alone, think about the money you may have saved from not needing transportation, or maybe you curbed your shopping habit.
Simply put, think positive to be positive.
Maybe you were suddenly finding yourself unemployed. That is never a good thing. Yet what if the time off allowed you to follow your dream and you now have a successful, growing company? That’s a dream come true.
We know that every negative can’t be a positive. We only ask that you look for a positive wherever you can. If you lost someone, instead of thinking about that loss, think about all of the amazing time that you were able to be together and focus on that.
3) Block negative images
Third, only allow positive images into your mind. If you are a person that likes to run scenarios for every situation in your mind, only visualize the positive outcomes. If you picture where this year (2021) will go, only visualize great things for yourself and others.
Again, we know that this isn’t always easy, but we want you to try. For example, if you are outside and it’s minus twenty, look at the beautiful blue sky, the warming sunshine or the life that surrounds you.
Think positive (and who doesn't want to see a puppy??)
4) Stretch your positive thinking
Fourth, if positive attracts positive, positive thinking will attract that positive energy. You will not only benefit from your own positive energy, but you will find that you attract other people’s positive energy.
If you have positive thoughts, like starting out with ‘I can’, you will find that you not only can, but you do. If you avoid negative feelings and substitute them with positive, you will feel positive. That’s a lot of positivity.
Think positive.
5) Be grateful
Last, remember to think about what you are grateful for. We talked about being grateful in a previous blog, but we would like to remind you to appreciate your life by slowing down and living in each moment.
Remember to keep up with your journaling and express your feelings. We will have a great new series of journals with their own positive words coming soon to our website to help motivate you.
Writing about the positive will help you to focus on the positive. If you find that you write a negative thought down, follow it up by two positive thoughts!
Think positive.
If you've made it this far, we want to give you just one more positivity strategy for the road...
Be kind to yourself!! Sometimes we forget this one. We can get so focused on being kind to everyone else that we forget about our own self. At the end of the day, don’t focus on what you didn’t do, focus on what you did. Give yourself love and credit. Take those positive thoughts with you to sleep.
Think positive!
We'll see you in the next blog!
