Why Can’t We Always Have Positivity in Life?

Because change is inevitable – and positivity coexists with negativity. We live in a world of opposites and extremes. But the important thing about this is that we exist within the opposites and extremes. Very few people exist at any given extreme. Near, perhaps – but seldom at. This is why comparing extremes and opposites via a coin misunderstands the breadth and depth of this reality. It’s not a coin, it’s a cylinder with vast space between the given extremes.

Is Positivity More Than a Feeling – But Rather, an Attitude?

Positivity is more broadly defined than just a feeling – it is a whole attitude and approach. How we experience life is a matter of attitude and approach. This is a choice every single one of us gets to make every day. Hence why it can be utterly subjective and highly variable. Trouble is, people often don’t see that their overall approach isn’t neutral – but tends to be positive OR negative. And often – because of how we’re inundated

Why Choose Positivity?

Because choosing positivity empowers you. Every day, you have choices. Get out of bed or sleep in? Oatmeal or yogurt for breakfast? Make or order lunch? Steak or chicken for dinner? Go to bed at 10 or 11? These choices are frequent, constant, and seemingly insignificant. But they are neither inconsequential nor insignificant. Life is all about choices. Great or small, everything you choose impacts everything you do. For example – let’s say you sleep in. And sleep past your

Every Thought and Feeling Attracts Like

Like attracts like – whether you believe in the Law of Attraction or not. The past couple of weeks have been personally rough for me. The air conditioner in my car is not working – and we’re having an ongoing heatwave. A plan for additional financial stability fell through. I got to take a literal and metaphorical guilt trip that took up a lot of mental energy. A nerve pinch in my hand forced me to stop fencing mid-practice. My

Simple Tasks and a Sense of Accomplishment

Never underestimate the positivity simple tasks can create. When it comes to goals and the things we are working to do for our lives, they tend to be large. These are not necessarily just the uber-achievement, huge-money-making large. These are also the not-instantaneous, multiple steps required large. Like building a business, evolving a relationship, or writing and selling a novel. When you’re pressing towards such a goal, it’s easy to get caught up in the work that goes into it.

Positivity Doesn’t Invalidate Negativity

One coin, two sides. Positivity and negativity will always both exist. I know a lot of people who think that positivity is a toxic notion. And, misapplied, they’re right. When you use positivity to negate and invalidate negativity – that is a toxic act. We simply cannot exist in a world with zero negativity. Life is all about dualities and paradoxes. Hence, yin and yang, black and white, up and down, and so on. Between these extremes are vast worlds

Choose Your Actions After Your Initial Reactions

The positivity when you choose the actions after your reactions is profound. Let’s face it. Shit happens. What’s more, you’ll encounter happenings that get you upset on the surface without full context. And then you get to decide what comes next. For example, I saw that a friend had done a thing with a group of friends that I was not included in. That got me super upset. I immediately felt hurt, got annoyed that I was left out, and

Small Positives Add Up

All the little, small positives you encounter are huge. Positivity comes in all shapes and sizes. Often, we look at these “big picture” notions and ideas of the world. Lots of people spend a tremendous amount of time focused on these things. Hyperfocused. And that makes it easy to get drawn into them. It’s great to be in the know. I totally advise it. But there is a difference between informed and inundated. Yes, you should know all about the

Positivity Empowers Everyone

But beware of toxic positivity. I strive to be optimistic and positive. Because I am human – and I have good days and bad days – I don’t always get it right. There are days it’s hard to get out of bed and face what’s coming. They’re not frequent, but they happen. Further, things can and do occur during a given day where you might get thrown off your game. Just over seven years ago, I get onto Facebook on

Positivity is a Steppingstone

Life happens one step at a time. Every instance of positivity is a steppingstone towards improvements. In the middle of an ongoing pandemic; in the face of uncertainty on almost every imaginable level – we NEED positivity. Every little bit counts. Why? Because even a moment of positivity can be a steppingstone to improve life. I know that the notion of the power of “positive thinking” has been wildly abused over the years. When you mention this, or positivity for
