When you put that positive energy out there, positive energy comes back to you. If you are feeling down or depressed, try focusing on something that you are grateful for and see what happens.
How can I be more grateful for my life?
Like a bee spreading pollen from flower to flower, soon there will be a field of gratitude flowers growing around you. Like any habit, recognizing gratitude takes some time.
Here are six tips to help inspire you to be your most positive self:
What you focus on grows.
It is just as easy to focus on the good as it is to focus on the negative. Shift your focus to what you love about your life, your spouse, or your child.
Be grateful for the sunshine, the changing colors of the leaves in fall, or the beautiful sunsets. Look for things to be grateful for in your day.
Keep it simple and small. Finish these sentences: I am so blessed to… I feel lucky that…
Gratitude is the habit that keeps on giving.
Get up, brush your teeth, make your bed, and feel grateful every day. Put sticky notes on your bathroom mirror that say, “I am grateful for…” Find a way to start each day with gratitude.I often think about positive things before I get out of bed, that way I am set to begin my day. Another fun thing I do is to send positive loving energy to everyone I see during the day.
