Positivity: Every Day is a New Day

Every day is a new day.

No matter what happened yesterday, or last week, or last year…every single day is new. Every day has the potential to be completely different from the last or the next.

Because every day is new, every day has the potential to be a positive day. Every day can be loaded with positivity and good things.

It is very easy to fall into the pattern of every day being the same. Get up, shower, drink coffee, go to work, come home, veg out in front of the TV, read, go to bed. Repeat tomorrow. Slight variations will likely occur, but these do not alter the day to day routine significantly, and so we lose sight of every new day’s potential.

Because no two days are ever exactly alike, every day has potential to be amazing. Every day can be new and different, and every day can bring us to new places and new discoveries and possibilities.

Because we get stuck in the pattern of every day feeling the same, we often foreshadow one day from the next. Positivity was begun because I watched my Facebook and Twitter feeds fill up with aggravation and loathing and negativity about the dreaded Monday. Back to work, back to the grind, back to hassles and frustrations and irritations. The pattern made me rethink MY Monday, and thus Positivity was born, to help us all remember that it does not have to be a bad day.

When we expect bad things, we anticipate and focus on them, often they manifest. When our attentions and energies and thoughts and feelings and actions all come together in that negative expectation it comes as no surprise negative is what we get. If we put that much energy into the positive, we stand a far greater chance of creating positivity.

Every new day has new potential. That’s the key to this. Just because yesterday was bad does not mean today will be. Yesterday is over. Just because we have things to do that we would rather not do, they do not have to be horrid, because we can find means to make them better. The universe may give you slippery ice you could injure yourself upon, but it also gives you intricate and beautiful icicles you can observe.

As always, remember that just approaching the day thinking positive thoughts will be insufficient to create positivity. There has to be thought, yes, but there also has to be feelings and actions. If you attempt to put positive focus on every new day, every new day can be full of abundance.

Finding positivity is not hard, it just requires action. Knowing that every new day comes with new potential for positivity, we have constantly new means by which to empower ourselves. When we feel empowered, we often spread that feeling to others around us, and as such can build more positive feelings. We can use the positive feelings this generates to dissolve negative feelings. When we take away negative feelings, we open up space to let in positive feelings, and that is something we can be grateful for. Gratitude leads to happiness. Happiness is the ultimate positive attitude. Positive attitude begets positive energy, and that is always a good thing.

This is the fifty-sixth entry of my Positivity series.  It is my hope these weekly messages might help spread positive energies for everyone.  Feel free to share, re-blog and spread the positivity.
