Increase the Positivity in Your Life- Learn How*
Stressful situations will come- that's life, but it's what you do about it that matters. If you're sad- be sad. If you're mad- be mad, but only for a short while. Take a moment to allow yourself to be upset or disappointed because that is what makes you human. We are emotional creatures. We all love and hurt. We all feel pain, sadness, and disappointment from time to time, but refuse to stay and dwell in the storm. Staying in that place takes time away from your plan of action to make it better. With every moment that passes, you could be missing an opportunity to turn things around.
If you find yourself constantly surrounded by negativity you need to wake up. (Just because your eyes are open does not mean you are awake.) Be conscious of who and what you allow into your space. When you see it, him, or her coming- run in the opposite direction. Why did the chicken cross the road? Well, she may have seen that bitter goose headed her way. We have to learn to dodge the bitter people when we can. I always say, misery loves company but she doesn't have many friends. That makes me think of an awesome quote I heard once: "I'd rather have a few quarters than 100 pennies." Wouldn't you? Assess your relationships. If someone is not investing positivity into your life, they probably don't belong there. If a negative or stressful situation arises do the best you can to handle it in the best manner, but do not allow it to overshadow all of the good things and people you have been blessed with.
Life is not going to be full of wonderful moments all the time, but it's always full of blessings, and if your give them the attention they deserve, they will multiply and you will find your disappointments have little relevance in comparison. Sometimes we stand on the tracks even though we hear and see the train coming straight for us. Move if you can. If you absolutely have to deal with something or someone, let's say a work situation or a child or spouse- face the issues head on, be honest, but be open to compromise, and also know when to walk away. Things happen sometimes, bad situations can be unavoidable, but once you are aware of it, handle it, and get back to a happy, positive place.
Learn to put things in their rightful place, and don't let negative situations spread into other parts of your life. Giving too much energy to the pitfalls of life will make you old and bitter. You truly are as young as you feel and letting stress and negativity consume your life will have an adverse effect. Invest your time in you and good, positive people and experiences. Focus on what you should be doing to enhance your growth and spread happiness. You can't change other people and you certainly can not solve every problem that may arise, but whatever you do should always end with a smile on your face and happiness in your heart.
