How do you stay positive?

I try each to think of something that I am thankful for each day. There are so many things that come to mind.

Here is what my list looks like:

  1. God’s blessings daily
  2. I am loved by my wonderful husband and family.
  3. Good health for me and my family
  4. I can still do most of the things that I enjoy doing – writing, exercising and just moving
  5. I feel blessed to wake up each morning and live another day.
  6. Try to smile every day at others to cheer them, it cheers me too!
  7. Compliment at least one person a day to awaken their positivity and bring a smile to them. It lightens my heart too.
  8. Find something that you love to do and do it every chance you get.
  9. Think of others before yourself.
  10. Be thankful for God’s love and blessings!

What are you thankful for and how do you stay positive?

I received a positive message from a fortune cookie that I have kept and think about often. Here it is:

Stay positive, even when faced with challenges, they are steppingstones to growth.

We all have challenges that we must deal with daily, but they shouldn’t deter our spirit from continuing on and facing them with God’s help. He is always there for us.

KEEP SMILING! THINK POSITIVE, LIVE POSITIVE, STAY POSITIVE!
