Seven Sources to Inspire Positivity

Sources to inspire Positivity can be found anywhere. Some sources of inspiration are easier to come by than others.  Yet knowing we have an endless pool of resources, we can be inspired and find Positivity in all sorts of unexpected places. It’s important to keep in mind that inspiration doesn’t need to be a grandiose, earth-shattering something.  We can be inspired by surprisingly mundane and uncomplicated things.  Inspiration can be that simple spark that gets you to eat healthy, to

How to Make Monday YOUR Day

Today will be whatever you make it be. It’s far too easy to approach Monday and the traditional start of the work week with distress, trepidation, displeasure, and unhappiness.  There is an entire culture of Monday woe in this society, which has been and continues to be capitalized on, and as such gets reinforced. Does anyone want Monday to suck?  I am pretty sure the answer is NO.  I don’t really know anyone who wants to be miserable, who wants

Five Quick-and-Easy Positivity Generators

Everyone prefers to feel good over feeling bad. Finding positivity is about finding ways to feel good.  We live in a society that feeds on a steady diet of negativity.  Fear is a tool employed by many differently “leaders” to keep people in line, and sensationalism sells and gets more clicks on social media.  This can make it far easier to live in fear and negativity than to find positivity. Also, it’s Monday…so most of us are going to work

Where can you find Positivity?

Positivity can be found anywhere we look. There are all sorts of thing, big and small, that can bring about positivity.  Sometimes they are easier to see than others. We are alive and breathing.  We have amazing technology at our fingertips.  We are capable of loving and being loved.  We can have, do or be pretty much anything we desire.  There is sky above us and earth beneath our feet. I know that it can feel like an impossible struggle

How to Build Positivity: Getting into Better Shape

Taking steps to get in shape can generate massive positivity. Getting in shape can also take a number of different forms.  Health is not simply measured as physical, but also mental, spiritual and emotional.  Giving attention to any one of these can improve our quality of life and be massively positive, while working on more than one or all of them can be hugely empowering. Everyone is familiar with processes for getting into shape physically.  Diet and exercise, skin care,

Positivity: Fresh Air

Cliché though it may be, there is nothing like fresh air to clear your head. I like to take a few minutes during my work day to get a sun/air break.  Step outside, get some fresh air, escape the stale office air and my computer. There is something cleansing, both physically and emotionally, in breathing in fresh air.  It awakens the senses, it rejuvenates the soul, it opens us up to possibilities. I know that this is super-trite, but I

Positivity: Joy

Joy is one of the ultimate expressions of love. We tend to not do nearly enough things that bring us joy.  We believe the lie that joyful things should only come in small doses, and that it is a limited achievement that should be particularly savored. Why is this true?  Because we have accepted it as so.  Yet, really, it is not the truth.  Joy can and should be one of the driving motivations for everything we do. Are we

Positivity: This is Good Because…

One way to approach the unexpected is to look at it and consider, “This is good because…” This is one of the best mechanisms I have ever come across for redirecting negative thinking.  Jen Sincero explains it in her outstanding book You Are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Live an Awesome Life (I cannot recommend this particular book enough).  When you encounter the unexpected, this idea can totally turn it around, and give you a more

Positivity: You Know Yourself Better Than You Think You Do

Who knows you best? Easy.  YOU. Nobody knows you, quite like YOU do.  You are the most cognizant of your strengths, your weaknesses, your hopes, your dreams, your fears, your goals, your moral compass, your ethics, etc. You are the leading expert on YOU.  You, and you alone, know your every secret, every laudable and damnable detail of your whole entire life.  You are your own most intimate companion. Why is this a part of positivity?  Because you have the

Positivity: Seeking Help

When do you recognize you need some help? When do you stop and realize that no matter what you have tried, maybe you need outside assistance?  When do you accept that maybe it’s time to ask for help, seek treatment, or start taking the medications to restore balance? This is a matter of Positivity.  Knowing that you need help, and then getting it is incredibly powerful.  Nothing is more positive than acknowledging limitations and then getting assistance to overcome them.
