How do you stay positive?

Some days it is difficult to stay positive with so many negative things happening around us in our lives and in our world.

What do you do to stay positive? Here is a link to staying positive.

Here is another link where I found some positivity to share.

Here is the definition in the dictionary:

  1. the practice of being or tendency to be positive or optimistic in attitude.”pupils draw power from the positivity of their teachers”
  2. 2. the presence rather than absence of a certain substance, condition, or feature.

This is how I stay positive each day.

  1. Hug someone
  2. Make as many people as I can smile.
  3. Tell my loved ones what they mean to me.
  4. Thank God every day for my blessings
  5. Think of what makes me happy
  6. Do things that I love to do
  7. Read and watch positive shows or movies
  8. Think of positive thoughts
  9. Spend time with my husband
  10. Call my kids and catch up
  11. Call a friend who I haven’t seen in a while
  12. Write a positive story
  13. Sing, dance and listen to upbeat music

These things are not necessarily in the right order but I try to do all of them often to stay positive. My husband would not want to see himself at #9 or my kids at #10! Yikes!

I also enjoy traveling to a place where I feel peaceful and close to nature like my recent visit to Ogunquit Maine at Perkin’s Cove. My second favorite place to travel is Aruba. It is so relaxing and beautiful.

All I can say is try to stay positive, do the things you love to do, spend time with your loved ones and dance, sing and enjoy life every day.

I feel blessed every day to be able to do the things I love – writing, spending time with my loving husband, singing and dancing like no one is watching me, and praying to God that HE will give me more time to do all this.

Thank you so much for stopping by to read this post and for your continued support. I love to hear from readers and read your reviews. Please come back again soon. You are always welcome!

Blessings & Hugs! Stay Safe, Stay Well and God Bless!

  1. I think your 13 points on how to stay positive are very valid. I do much the same.

    These are all good things to do to stay positive. Some days it’s hard. I would add, read a good book, but that is covered in #6. xo

      Thank you. I think a good book helps a lot. I find reading a book that is depressing is not conducive to feeling good and positive. I like happy endings. Hugs
