A Push for Positivity
Positivity can be a powerful force. It can be infectious to others around you. With this state of mind, you can influence yourself and others to achieve great things. Everyone, from people being bullied to random stranger, can use some kind of positive action or thought everyday.
Positive thinking has benefits for health as well. Some of these benefits include a longer life span, lower rates of depression and even a greater resistance to the common cold.
Students that are experiencing bullying, other hardships or just having a rough day can use different strategies to pick themselves up and increase their confidence levels. Different strategies work for different situations. If you or a friend, or even a stranger is feeling down, it is easier than you might think to make their day a little bit more positive. Spreading even a small amount of positivity throughout your day can make a large difference to somebody else’s.
Why tear people down when we could be lifting them up? This world needs to spread positivity to make a change. With an uplifting comment, you could change someone’s day around, or even give them the confidence boost that they needed to make it through the day. Give people the confidence boost that they might need to stand up for themselves or make a change for the greater good. Be someone that people enjoy being around and can be their best self around.
There are many things that you can do to make a push for positive in your own life. First off, don’t think disparagingly or negatively about other; this will just cause people you to have an overall negative outlook on life.
According to the Mayo Clinic, practicing positive thinking usually starts with self talk. Whether the thoughts that typically run through your head, means that you would see the world as generally positive or negative. Those who practice positive thinking are optimists, and those who generally have negative thoughts are pessimists. People don’t need to be stuck in the label of pessimist; there are many ways to make your outlook that of an optimist.
One way to do this is to surround yourself with people that make you happy and confident and encourage you to be the best version of yourself that you can be. Motivational speaker Jim Rohn has made the quote “you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with,”. The people that you choose to spend time with have a great impact on who you are, and surrounding yourself with positive people can have a positive impact on your life.
Positive thinking has benefits for health as well. Some of these benefits include a longer life span, lower rates of depression and even a greater resistance to the common cold.
Positivity has the opportunity to make a change in the people around you and the rest of the world. With all the negativity that is currently happening in the world, try to focus on making a positive impact on those around you and together we can make the world a more positive place.
