We have a bulletin board at work to post 'stuff' and I walked by to see what 'today was', since some of those 'Fun Holidays' are noted.
And to my surprise, today is 'POSITIVE THINKING DAY'.
I always try to be positive, although sometimes it's hard.
It's been a tough 2 years and I do follow positive Blogs, Websites and FB pages.
Of course I try to also use my blog, pages and Twitter to be positive as well.
As much as I like to help others, this also helps me!
So check out the website Positive Thinking Day, but here are the 10 tips posted:
10 ways to create a positive day
1. Use affirmations - Read and listen to affirmations so that you can begin to change your self-talk.
2. Intention - Set your intention each morning to have a positive day! Remember you choose your attitude!
3. Mindfulness - Keep your attention in the present moment.
4. Link to think -Pick something you do frequently (perhaps making a phone call) and let that be a reminder to think a positive thought.
5. Gratitude - Develop an attitude of gratitude by keeping a gratitude journal.

Sometimes it is difficult to stay positive in this world. I greet every new day with a smile, even when I'm up too early and have no coffee!.. Oh and a flock of chickens are tearing apart my porch!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post! Helps me when my day started out bad.
ReplyDeleteYay! Now increasing my circle of positivity by following you everywhere I can! Found you from Alexa hop and thanking you for the inspiration.

One of the most recent things I have learned from my 4 year old is that happiness truly is a choice. There are so many days when I'm grumpy and all I need to do is to make a deliberate choice, and yet I don't which just makes my day that much worse.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog and following. I am following you back now and hope you have a fabulous day!
