How to Stay Positive in a Negative World

Obviously, there is no one size fits all answer to the question of how to stay positive in a negative world, but there are many ways we can help ourselves through some of life’s toughest moments.

That even the difficult days don’t last forever. Here are some ways to stay positive in a negative world.

Secrets for How to Change Your Mindset

Is there some secret sauce when it comes to mindset? If there were a bottle labelled ‘how to change your mindset’ it would be flying off the shelves, don’t you think? I know not so long ago I would have bought it! And I would have paid a pretty penny for it too. But, I know now that our mindset doesn’t come in a bottle. It develops over time. It soaks up the impressions from our environment, the experiences we have gone through and the people we have encountered and it rolls it all up into this big blob of ‘conclusions’ about life. But, what if our mindsets a) don’t serve us and, b) are made up of more than a couple of lies!

You DO Make a Difference

We’ve all had that person or people in our lives that impacted us. Someone that we look up to. It could be a famous figure such as Gandhi, Mother Teresa or Nelson Mandela. Or it could be the old lady down the road that always has time to listen to somebody or to help somebody out. These people impact us with their kindness. Their generosity of spirit. They are our role models. The people we look up to. The people we aspire to be like in some way in our lives. These people seem somehow to make a difference and that impacts us. You could say we want a piece of that ‘impact pie’.

Your Outlook on Life Effects your Entire Experience

A couple of weeks ago I had what I would call an ‘unlucky day’. I bruised my ankle, bumped my arm, had a bug fly into my ear and then ended the day scraping the palm of my hand open as I gracefully fell towards a closed door. Lol. I could have been fuming after all of that. I could have raised my fists and cursed at the skies. But I laughed it off because I don’t believe that kind of outlook on life can benefit me or set me up for a good day. Or, a good life.

5 Tips on How to be Happy Again When Life Gets you Down

There isn’t a person on this earth that is happy every moment of every day.

While that might not make you feel better in and of itself, I hope it helps you see that you are not alone. And the fact that you are here reading this means you are ready to find a way out of the sadness. This is the first step. You are one step closer.

I Think It’s Time To Stop Apologizing

You’d think we were born apologizing, it’s such a big part of our make-up. But, we weren’t. We were born with no apology. No excuses for why we are who we are. Apologies didn’t even feature in our frame of reference. Why would we, magnificent creation that we are, apologise? We were blissful in the knowledge that we are exactly who and what we were made to be. Note: I didn’t say we were perfect, I said we accepted ourselves as we are.

Don’t Let Limiting Beliefs Stop You

I played it small in my 20s and my 30s and halfway through my 40s and then I realised I wasn’t prepared to do that to myself anymore. I realised I had been preaching for my own limitations for too long and it was time to get over it and move on to the life I had not only dreamed of, but the life I had been worthy of all along. It was time to stop preaching for my limitations and step into my worthiness, and the life that was waiting for me on the other side of fear.

5 Reasons to Accept What Is

Every day around the world millions of people wake up and think to themselves is this it? Is this all we get? And, before I say another word, I think it’s important that we realize that we all feel this way. We are not alone. We find ourselves, in a way, ‘stuck’ with these lives that we live. Not knowing which way to go, why we are here or what the point is. It’s all a bit of a shock to the system and it can take us a lifetime to come to terms with it. To be able to live happily we need to learn to accept what is. Better still, learn to love what is instead of asking ourselves is this as good as it gets. We need to make it as good as it can get instead.

Knowing We All Make Mistakes Doesn’t Make It Easier

Expectation can feel like a choke hold on our lives. And even though we all make mistakes, and we know this, somehow we leave little room for errors in our own lives. It’s gotten so bad that we relish when someone else makes a mistake. Looking for the opportunity to take pity on them in some magnanimous gesture. And all the while its insecurity showing up as it always does to rain on someone else’s parade for a change instead of ours. But that doesn’t make it better, it just makes it feel better.
