How does a typical day start for you?
Does the following scenario sound all too familiar?
You’re shocked out of a fitful sleep by a blaring alarm. As
you crawl out of bed bemoaning the stresses of the day ahead, you turn on the
TV or radio, open your newspaper, or click onto the Internet. What do you see?
The media delights in engulfing you with stories of horrific events.
As you leave your home, you’re surrounded by harried drivers
until you finally arrive at the office, only to be submerged in office politics
and other trappings of the rat race.
In a world filled with so much negativity, is it possible to
live a positively charged life?
The answer is yes! Consider, for a moment, how this same day
could have started if you were focusing on positivity, instead:
As you awaken, you feel rejuvenated by restful slumber.
You’re greeted by the melody of the birds singing as they herald the beauty of
the new day. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee fills the air and you sit up,
stretch, and spend a leisurely moment taking it all in.
You spend your commute wondering what exciting opportunities
await you as you plan a fulfilling day mixed with working toward your goals and
enjoying your favorite hobbies. At the office, your co-workers chat amiably as
they settle in for a productive day.
Which morning do you prefer?
The amazing thing is you have the power to choose either
one! Try these
life-changing strategies that help you discover
your power to keep positive energy flowing on a daily basis:
1. Interact with nature. As simple as it may sound, you can
gain a positive outlook by interacting with nature. The beauty of nature is the
reality that, regardless of the surrounding circumstances, the course of nature
continues.
Sunlight always breaks through the cloudiest days and
darkest nights.
Spring brings an annual rebirth of life as new plants peek
through the frozen snow.Animals carry on their natural routines as they fulfill
their purpose.
2. Connect with your spiritual side. Spirituality can bring
calmness, happiness and serenity to your life. These attributes help to
contribute to positive energy. Whether you decide to embrace religious beliefs
or spend some time in self-reflection, you’ll find that you feel differently
when you connect with your spiritual self.Connecting with your spiritual side can truly allow you to
be accepting of yourself and your past and willing to commit to turning things
around for the better.
3. Count your blessings. As bad as things might seem to you,
know that they’re not the worst they could be! It’s important to notice the
good things you have in your life.Think of five things each day that you’re happy about or
thankful for.Ask yourself how you can turn your current situation around
and make it better with the resources you have now.
4. Help someone in need. There’s nothing quite as fulfilling
and positive as helping someone in need. Discover the satisfaction that comes
from being a Good Samaritan. Remember that when you help someone in need,
you’re contributing to making the world a better place because someone will be
better off because of you.
5. Change your perception. Your circumstances are what you
make them, and make of them. If you look at a situation and expect hopelessness
out of it, then hopelessness is likely what you’ll get. Instead, why not look
for a positive outcome for each and every event? Give it a try and see how quickly you’ll be able to extract
a glimmer of hope from those negative circumstances. Use the tools you’ve been
given and make the machine work the way you want it to. Embrace your inner power to make life what you want it to
be. Use these life-changing strategies to fill your life with positivity. Then,
instead of relying on others to create what you hope to have, you can craft the
situation you want for yourself!
