Add Positivity to Your Life

Add Positivity to Your Life:

We are surrounded by energies around us. These energies can be positive or negative. I have seen people who are so pessimist in their life; as soon as they try to speak they will talk something negative. Either they are not happy with situations or person or anything. They are just negative in approach; they fail to see positive side of any scenario. Such people always release negativity and you start feeling negative as their energy is influencing yours.

You can be one of them. It’s not your boss, colleagues, parents, kids, spouse, lover, ex, traffic, but your own perception that creates stress and negative energy. Why? So negative, is getting stressed out is going to solve anything? Your problems are appearing horrible; possibly they are not that big, your negative approach towards it making them appears big. Ideally what should you do? Very first thing calm down yourself; Try to study your scenario, why are you upset with certain situation or person? What could be worst thing will happen? After having your answers, you know your worse situation that has to be faced. So try to find solution to it. Try to see positive aspect of that situation. I am sure you will come up with very sound solution and if there are no solution than at least enough energy and mindset to face that problem or let go it.

Do not dwell on negatives. Things happens, its how you respond to it matters. If you choose to victimize by what happens then your negative energy will gain momentum. Stop thinking about it if there is nothing you can do to improve it, if thought comes up about the situations, do not allow it to continue, force yourself to divert. Try to find blessing and lessons from the situation.

It’s not easy, it will take time but you will surely stop dwelling in negativity further. 

For instance, “This job is terrible! My boss is a jerk and nobody appreciates me!” Don’t think this way, instead think: “I’m looking for a better job and meantime I’m trying to learn as much as I can so I benefit. In fact, my boss is the perfect example of how not to treat employees!”  You can’t undo anything. It’s done. Forgive others, forgive yourself… learn from your mistakes, learn from others’ mistakes. The Unkind or thoughtless actions are not outcome of love but they are from your deep inner pain, release this energetic burden you are carrying, grudges, resentments, pain, hurt, sadness, anger, guilt….. Let it all go.

Whenever you criticize, judge or blame others, you are choosing to focus on what they are doing wrong or what’s wrong with them. And you give these people power to control your mood and state of mind. Ask yourself why someone’s behavior irritates you so much that you allow yourself to get upset about it? Why give them power to control your happiness? Instead of criticizing, judging or blaming, find something you can compliment them on and you cannot do that also than stop thinking about it and let it go.

So how positive approach affects us? Positive people are optimist people; who are full of life and zest. Its not that they don’t have problems or issues, but the most important thing they have is their approach towards life. Their mindset works on positive thoughts. Whenever any situations or people come into their life, they try to avoid their negative sides and focus on positive aspects. They accept the world as it is. They will generally say good about people, you will hardly find them negative about anything unless it’s damn annoying or disturbing their peace of mind. Positive energy is contagious. When you constantly take in positive energy from your surroundings, it will be visible in the outer world. You will get to see that people love to be around you and your company, as you are great source of positive energy. They love to share things with you, spend time with you. Your mere presence makes their day, you make them smile, and make them feel good. You are not doing it purposely; it’s just your positive outlook that sees good in everyone and make them feel good about themselves.

Life is so busy these days. We are caught up in our day to day activities that we forget to think about others.  But small gesture of kindness or love can make someone’s day, make you feel good about yourself. Its could be anything, like hold an elevator door for someone, appreciating your colleague for good work, plan a vacation for your parents or someone dear, buy food to beggar who comes to you, complimenting someone that they are looking great, wishing good morning to your people, telling your maid - you are lucky to find her, great food mom, appreciating others, etc. These all things are possible if you have positive thinking.

I would like to mention here well know quote by Buddha,

“All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become.” ~Buddha

The things you say, the things you think, the things you do—even the things you don’t do—all produce energy that impacts you and the people around you. If you work on creating more positive energy, you’ll see improvements in your life and you’ll touch more lives than you thought possible. 

Good luck and stay positive.....
