As part of
my 5 tips to success and motivation, (read it here) Tip 2 was to Stay Positive. This is a very
important step to a happy success filled existence.
It’s not an
easy task to be positive, happy and smiley all the time but if you can manage
this everything else will be so much easier.
1.
Smile
Even if you’re feeling down, smile.
A simple smile not only cheers up your day it cheers up
everyone you meet on your journey through life.
If you think back to your last walk through town, who do you
remember? The person who smiled at you just because they were having a good
day! And I bet that made you smile! Smiling is contagious!!!
2.
Be Polite and Courteous
You might not think it means a lot but it does to those your
being polite and courteous too.
Hold the door for someone, say please and thank you. If you
put someone else in a positive mood you will be in a positive mood yourself.
And don’t forget about Karma, put out positivity get back
positivity.
3.
Surround Yourself With Positivity
Be it people, pets or objects if they are positive they have
a place in your life.
Negative people can drag you down with them so either cut the
cord or cheer them up. Sometimes people are so negative its amusing and you
laugh at them but that’s a rarity. So if your friends are negative you need new
friends!
Pets are always positive and put you in a good mood. So if
you feel down talk to your pet.
4.
Positive Reinforcement/
Visualisation/ Use Your Senses
Linked to surrounding yourself with positivity. Positive quotes
are everywhere
these days be it on wall hangings or cushion covers so get
yourself some! (like these from Primark)
If there is something you want in life, to have a bikini
body, to pass your exams or your driving test Visualise It!!! Write it down and
pin it up all around your house so it’s the first thing you see when you wake
up and the last thing you see at night.
Use all your senses, repeat positive thoughts out loud when
you’re on your own or better yet read your positive signs out loud to yourself
then you can see, speak and hear them reinforcing positive thoughts in your
subconscious mind. When your mind believes your positive your body follows.
5.
List 5 good things about you and your
life!
Simple, if you’re positive more difficult if you’re not so start out
easy.

6.
Don’t be a Victim
Harsh I know but get over it.
Accept your flaws and move on.
Accept your past and
move on, you can’t change it (unless you invent a time machine)
You can’t control what others think so why bother trying, it’s
not their life! Live for yourself.
7. Meditation
If you are very stressed and negative take a few minutes out and relax,
empty your mind, picture a blank sheet of paper.
It’s not for everyone but there has to be a reason why people have
meditated for generations.
(Words of Wisdom from Laura)
Ok that was
a really long one but you get the point. Positivity is just a combination of
little things you can do to make you and everyone else around you happier,
motivated and successful!
