Simply Positive

"Woke up an optimist, sun was shinin', I'm positive."-Kanye West from song FourFiveSeconds.  Optimism is certainly easier as the spring and summer seasons approach.  Seeing light reminds us of the light in ourselves and all around.  Deciding to be an optimist is a choice.  It is about wanting and attaching kind and gentle life lessons.  We make the choice of what to believe.  What you say goes, so why not say something positive and beneficial to all. 

I have always had a tendency for positivity.  It has made all of the difference in my life.  Whether it is being open to a smile of your own or others.  It has enabled me to learn from every situation, encouraging the life long learner in me.  Optimism is simply good for your health.  When you feel good and think good thoughts, good things happen and continue to be attached to you.  Smiling and laughing are contagious.  Being positive can be too.

Being positive can start with a smile.  It starts with what I call a proud, "yes."  This is when you are so confident and secure in answering yes to a question someone asks.  "Yes" can sound better than a no when you are so sure of it.  Of course when you are confident in a "no", that feels good too.

Welcoming more positivity in your life can begin with saying no to things/activities and people you know you do not need/nor want in your life.  Make room for more positive people in your life.  Avoid gossip and bad mouthing others and avoid spending too much chunks of time watching news.  News can be hazardous to your health.  Instead pick up a hobby, explore and enjoy!  As Eleanor Roosevelt shared, "Do one thing that scares you, everyday."  Let's warm up our thoughts like the weather.
