Bringing Positivity Into Your Life

Written By Colēgia

There are many different ways to add value to your life and one of the best ways to do that is by incorporating positivity. This can be complex as there is a multitude of things that can contribute to our state of well-being. Today we want to discuss some ways to help with this and why it matters.

Change Your Mindset

Oftentimes one of the biggest hurdles with implementing positivity is our mindset. A good mindset can carry us far in life while a bad one can actively debilitate our progress. Breaking down what isn't working is a great first step to do. For starters, we need to consider how we perceive things around us. Do we feel that challenge hurts our growth or gives us a better means of learning? Do we wear our flaws with poise and use them to celebrate our differences. Do we find that we have an abundance mindset? All of these are relevant when it comes to positivity as each recognizes different areas that contribute to our state of happiness. Challenge is good as it lets us improve our skills and see how far we have come with our progress. Our weaknesses are good as they remind us that we are human which can empower us. An abundance mindset can also remind you that there are good opportunities out there for everyone.

Review Your Priorities

Our priorities are a large contributing factor when it comes to positivity as some things can give us more sustainable happiness. Investing in things such as our relationships is a good means of doing this as it can build up positive feelings within other people as well. Understanding what we care about is important for a positive mindset. For instance, we can take a look at our hobbies and interests and do our best to dedicate more time to things that motivate us. A music major may value practicing their instrument of choice as it lets them find new ways to express themselves. A track runner may value trying to get a faster time or they may simply appreciate the benefits of feeling healthy after a run. A math major may enjoy their time with numbers as it can help them in practical areas in their lives such as budgeting. Each of these is one of many ways that our priorities need to be accounted for as they can enhance our lives.

Make Every Moment Count

Every moment no matter how small matters in some way shape or form. From simply waking up to brushing our teeth, to the clothes we wear, to the people we spend our time with, being mindful of all of these is key to bringing positivity into your life. While some things are smaller than others, it’s this type of holistic view where everything is connected that can help us see the joy in things. There is a subtle sense of harmony with how we interact with people to the steps we take to get to where we want to be that all contribute to our lives. While this may take time to work on, it is something that can ultimately help, so take that first step and make every moment count.
