Positivity: The Good

Sometimes it’s really easy to lose sight of the many good things we have in our lives. If you are reading this, chances are you live in a place where you have freedom, where you are encouraged to think for yourself, where you have opportunities to grow and change and to do and be the things you desire. When I watch the news of the world I sometimes get caught up in just how awful some people’s lives are. The

Positivity: The small stuff

How do you find positivity when you are thoroughly inundated by negativity? I am frequently amazed by just how many negative things can be found across the internet. In especial, social media is frequently used as an outlet to complain about politics, social dynamics and other life matters. I see so many more complaints than commendations, it can be rather disheartening. This is of course the reason why I started this particular weekly post. I needed to put something positive

Positivity: How do you feel?

How do you feel? You probably get this question or some variable of it a lot. How are you? How you feeling? How’s it going? It is also highly probable that more often than not you either ignore the question, or give a non-committal eh or ok or fine or good or such. This is a more important question than we give weight to, and it is in truth a powerful tool for generating positivity. How DO you feel? It’s

Positivity: Everybody Matters

Everybody matters. Black or white, male or female, big or small, fat or thin, rich or poor, gay or straight or in-between – you matter. We all are important in our own ways, and we all have an equal deserving of rights and protections and such. Everybody matters. Some communities, groups and cultures are more privileged than others. This is true whether you care to accept it or no, but for some the struggle to matter is easier and does

Positivity: Turning Negativity Around

What do I do when I am surrounded by negative people? That’s a really good question. What DO you do? In especial when you have no means by which to escape them (co-workers and family come to mind here). This is not too dissimilar in respects to news articles and social media posts calling attention to negative things, except those you can delete and ignore. How do you deal with other people’s negativity and not have that impact you? Every

Positivity: You Deserve It!

You deserve it. I don’t know what it is for you, but you deserve it. It might be an emotion like happiness. Or love. Or joy. It might be a thing, like a job. Or relationship. Or home. It might be small or grand, but whatever it is you deserve it. Too many places tell us how we are unworthy. We are too poor, too fat, too weak, too foolish to be worthy of anything. That is a lie. You

Positivity: You Set the Tone

I get to set the tone for my day. Will it be a good day? Will it be a bad day? Will it be a productive day? Will it be a day of total time mismanagement? It’s entirely up to me. It can be really easy to forget that we are in control of our emotions. Yes, things happen that trigger an emotional response in us, but we get to make the choice about how we are going to feel.

Positivity: You Are Amazing

You are an amazing individual. No, really. I might not know you in the slightest, but I can honestly tell you that you are an amazing person. We may disagree about any number of topics, we may have totally different and diametrically opposed backgrounds, but I can still tell you that you are an amazing individual. We tend to not give ourselves enough credit. We look for our faults, we work on the things about ourselves that are flawed…but this

Positivity: Accolades

Everybody likes to get accolades. Receiving a reward for a job well done certainly generates a lot of positivity. This does not need to be a grand thing, sometimes it takes nothing more than being told “thank you”. Accolades are something that everyone appreciates. Even when we do the things we do because it’s simply what we do, being rewarded in some fashion makes it extra special. As the social creatures that we are, we seek the recognition of our

Positivity: Equality

Equality is a massive expression of Positivity. What could be more positive than equality between people? No matter our differences in skin color, gender, religion, nationality or sexual orientation we all desire equality, and that is a positive thing. We live in a universe of abundance. The problem we encounter is that those in power want to horde as much power to themselves as possible. That just does not work, because they miss that in empowering people they actually further
