Positivity: Be Wacky
Sometimes you just need to be wacky.
You need to be unusual. Different. What others might call strange.
We all have moments when we do things that are not the norm, and get called out on them. We do things that are unusual, that don’t track the same as what everyone else is doing. We do silly, crazy, bizarre and absurd things from time to time.
Rather than deny, disseminate or divert attention from these, we should embrace them. It is our differences and the things we do unlike anyone else that make each of us the unique person that we are.
Embrace your weird, wacky, strange, off-kilter irregular self. It is extremely freeing to not be working to fit a square peg into a round hole. It is empowering to take this on, and as such it builds positivity.
I do not know anybody who needs to be serious all the time. From the so-called lowest to the highest, we all release steam or do things that might be considered strange and wack-a-doo, but this is not something to get upset about or to hide away from. Embrace the fun, and let the positivity flood in.
Despite the many attempts of people to tell us we should fall in line and stop being so strange, it is ok to let yourself be yourself. You are you alone, nobody else can be you like you can. This may seem obvious, but I cannot tell you how many people I have met who strive to be a person they think others desire them to be.
We put too much emphasis on normalcy, on being a person who meets a certain standard of respectability, of acceptability in our society. I won’t deny that there are times and places for certain behaviors and protocols to be followed, but that means there are plenty of times we can and should let who we are be free to be.
There is tremendous positivity in being the genuine article. I am the only one who can find my happiness, I alone know who I am at my very core, and I am the one who can be wacky, weird, a bit off, sorta flip, strange and even odd-looking. The empowerment that comes from embracing this aspect of myself is incredible, and has gone a long ways towards helping me to improve and expand my life experience accordingly.
Different is not bad. We should not fight over the differences between us, we should all accept our individuality, and we should let ourselves have more fun. How is more positivity in the world anything but good?
Finding positivity is not hard, it just requires action. Knowing that you are in charge of who you are, you can embrace the things you do that others might call wacky, weird, or what-have-you. When we embrace our eccentricities and we allow ourselves to be who we are instead of who others might things us to be, we 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.
