Keeping the positive in mind

I often hear people say things like 'life's crap!', 'Same S*$t, different day!' and 'the world is such a horrible place!' and I always sit there and remember when I used to start my day thinking like that.

There has been so much research over the years that prove positive thinking reduces stress, helps relieve symptoms of anxiety, acts as a natural pain relief and potentially boosts your immune system - So why do so many of us still hit the default button of negative thinking?

Maybe for you it's easier to think everything is going to go wrong so that you're not disappointed if it does? maybe it's about you've always been told your limits and so therefore don't want to prove to yourself that you 'Can' rather than 'you Can't'. Whatever your reason is to stick with the negative thinking - let me tell you how it can be different!

I have learnt to do something that seems really simple, but surprisingly it's a hard tasks for many people; 

I start my day with a positive thought!!!

So what can you say honestly that you can be positive about today?

There will always be bad news broadcasting and natural disasters taking place, but look around you today, what are you grateful for?

For me, I can be grateful for my wonderful children, the love of my dog, the beauty of nature whilst out walking. I can feel positive that my life is made easier by realising that it was a wonderful thing the 'Washing machine' was invented lol 

Whatever you find in your world to be positive about, notice how it changes your mood and in turn watch ' The Ripple Effect' as it makes your day more positive and those around you more positive.

So today lets start a Ripple Effect today - tell me what your positive thought is - post it on my facebook page or tell me directly
