Building Positivity

Written By Colēgia

Being able to overcome the various challenges we face in school and life can take time and energy. Rather than feeling depleted whenever we accomplish something difficult, we want to feel a sense of satisfaction. It's easier to work towards this when we have many other positive elements going on. If we truly want to enjoy life, we need to start by building up the positivity around us. Today we want to cover why it's important to do this along with a few ways to help with it.

Recognize What Needs To Change

Oftentimes the first step towards building positivity is changing another area of your life. A great example of this is by taking a look at your habits. Certain habits such as daily exercise are worth doing since they help us take care of our health. Other habits though can take up a lot of time in our day such as browsing through social media. Like most things, moderation can help us reclaim our time and we might need to set hard limits on our usage. Another example of this can include the social circles that we're part of. Being able to examine how we feel after spending time with people is important since it can let us know whether we're feeling empowered. Good friends make us feel comfortable being ourselves which is why we want to surround ourselves with positive people.

Working On Self-Care

Working on self-care is another effective means of building positivity. When we're going too quickly through the motions we might find that it can come at the cost of neglecting our own needs. This can be the result of simply trying to get too much done in a day. Being mindful of how we're doing things matters just as much as what we're doing. Slowing down and trying to focus on our needs can make it so our actions work in harmony with our thoughts. Self-care can be seen in many forms. Taking time to meditate is one such example of this since it can train us to see how we feel and address our thoughts. The same can be said for taking a personal day off to help re-center ourselves. Feeling healthy and in control can in turn inspire us to make more positive choices for the world around us.

Be A Force Of Positive Action

Positive thought can take us far but we ultimately want to have our actions align with this. Thinking about what we want to do is the first step toward building positivity. If we visualize what it is that we want, we can then devise active steps to get there. Starting an exercise routine is a great example of this since it requires us to motivate ourselves first. We can then use that same energy to plan out which days we're going to work on our routine and then follow through. Volunteering is another example of this since the act of helping others helps solidify being that source of positive action. Building positivity is something that needs to be worked on daily since the results can make life that much more enjoyable.
