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 to find positivity out there. Sometimes the weather is upsetting, at times those we love and respect are disappointing us, and don’t even get me started on the state of politics in the world today. And yet, even with all that taken into account, there are still ways to uncover and relish in positivity.
Sometimes we just need to slow down, take a breath, and maybe step away from things that are giving us more negativity than we desire. Sometimes we need distractions, finding things to make us smile and laugh or otherwise redirect our thought processes.
Gratitude and inclusion can go a very long ways towards generating positivity. Doesn’t it feel good to hear someone say “thank you?” Do you know that saying “thank you” can be just as powerful, if not more so? Expressing gratitude in our lives builds positive energy like nothing else can…and it’s really, really easy.
Perfect example – today in the United States is Memorial Day. I want to say Thank You to everyone who has given of themselves to serve the country and protect and defend what we believe in. Thank you, also, to those who offer the closest support to these men and women. Thank you.
Our society is currently experiencing a real problem with exclusion. We are being artificially divided by race, color, creed, religion, gender, and any other artifice one could devise so that those who feel they are in power can stay there. When we work to be inclusive instead, however, we can generate an unbelievable amount of positivity, and when we work together we all benefit.
Yes, finding positivity can feel pretty hard. But finding and generating positivity is good for our overall wellbeing, and it is always available to us – we just have to seek it out, and keep ourselves open to it.
Finding positivity is not hard, but it does require action. Knowing that we can find positivity almost anywhere that we look for it, we can open ourselves up to new ways to feel good and be happier. When we make the effort to uncover and partake of positivity, we make ourselves feel healthier, and as such we empower ourselves. When we feel empowered, we often spread that feeling to others around us, and as such can build more positive feelings in the collective consciousness. 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.
