Why Be Positive??

Being positive is contagious

You know how your thoughts are very powerful and affect your general attitude.

Well your attitude affects everyone around you, but you knew this.

Did you know that the more you have positive thoughts The more satisfied you are the quicker you also begin to feel its satisfying effects.

You begin feeling the effects which are invigorating and energizing to you and the people around you.

So in a sense you are energizing those around you with your own positive energy.

Like the energizer bunny but better.

That being said you can see how negative thoughts have a draining effect on yourself and other people. Besides making you look gloomy, tired and sad, those negative thoughts can turn a festive gathering into a funeral wake.

People tend to shy away from those who carry a negative attitude.

Being Happy

I know I do, I do not let other peoples negativity influence my day. It is a good thing to learn but it does take awhile.

Your attitude is influenced by the way you view the world. So if you choose to focus on pessimistic views of the world, you will develop a negative attitude.

When you begin to see that it is your choice and if you choose to focus on the positive things, you are more likely to develop a positive attitude.

There are additional benefits to be gained as well such as less stress and troubles. This is much better than those who have a negative attitude.

A positive attitude begins with a healthy self-image. It is not about being perfect its about accepting yourself and others how they are.

Your ability to be satisfied with who you are builds confidence in yourself which then spreads to others around you allowing them to feel the same way.

Everyday all around us, the world feeds us negative thoughts. When it happens take note of it and when it happens to you, change the channel, stop being influenced by the stories being told.

It was not always like that, there was a time when news really was what was happening around you. Now the daily stories are heavy in opinion and negativity.
