Positivity…..What is it all about?
Being positive is being optimistic &
fairly happy in our approach. We are not expecting you to be completely happy
all the time & stay far away from all negative emotions. Every
element of emotion is real & will always be with us. We will keep feeling
happiness, sadness, anxiety, fear, frustration & whatnot. This is the
fundamental truth of being a human, we have emotions. But the important
question is that, can we control our emotions? Certainly yes, it is completely
in our control. We can choose which emotion we want to drive our life with.
Positivity
The dictionary definition of positivity is
pretty simple “ The practice of being or tendency to be positive or optimistic
in attitude”. It can also be termed as a particular frame of mind. Knowingly or
unknowingly we practice positivity in our daily lives. Some very basic acts are
as below.
·
We don’t take things too personally.
·
Our focus remains on the present moment & its
enjoyment.
·
Too much worry about future is what we avoid.
·
We solely aim to do things & achieve triumph, while
staying away from thinking of past & difficulties.
·
We are generally tolerant, happy & good-natured &
our ability to forgive is stronger.
In case you have been practicing all these
acts in your life, congratulations! You have been a very positive person in
your life & life will certainly offer its goodness to you. If not, then
please introspect & make extra efforts to change your approach towards
things.
Why we should stay positive?
Positivity is not a sign of weakness when you
are not reacting upon something negative. It is simply a state of mind in which
you take control over your emotions & decide how exactly you wish to feel
at the moment. Feeling positive will also make you feel happy which itself a
reward for anyone of us. These are little yet powerful tricks to develop
positive attitude within you & lead a happier life.
·
Always wear a smile as it will condition your mind to be happy
& carefree always.
·
Every day in evening sit & think what all you
experienced during the day. Make a note & assess the situations when you
lost control over your thoughts.

Try to forgive people as much as possible. Stay away from
being revengeful & bitter.

immediately start planning ahead & stop
mourning over the bad thing happened to you.

gossip.
Being positive is not a natural gift for all. However, with little mindfulness
we can certainly develop this invaluable quality. It will make our life &
