3 Ways To Live a Positive Life

3 ways to live a POSITIVE life:

1. Wake up early to have alone time: Yes, I said wake up early! Give yourself an extra 15 minutes in the morning to get up and have quiet alone time. Drink a glass of water (extra bonus if it is warm lemon water - gets your digestive system going for the day!) while you take that time to pray, read your Bible, read a personal development book, or just concentrate on good thoughts of what you are thankful for and how you want your day to go (or a combination of them!). Doing this will give you a POSITIVE start to your day and help you be a blessing to others! (Btw, for a good recommendation on a personal development book, check out The Compound Effect by, Darren Hardy - it will change the way you think - in a good way!)

2. Focus on the GOOD by doing GOOD: Give compliments, put a stray grocery cart away (without wanting to curse the person who left it in the middle of the parking lot), and most importantly: SMILE! Did you know that smiling uses a lot of muscles? So think of it as a good workout and flex that smile! You never know how giving someone, yes even a stranger, a smile can change their day for the better! Be the good in the world.

3. BELIEVE in YOU: This one seems simple and yet you can be the hardest, am I right? I know that this is true with me. But, we really can’t be a blessing to others or even take care of ourselves right if we are busy looking down on ourselves. Tell yourself that you are WORTH the effort to be a happy, beautiful, healthy human being! Yes, it may take time, effort, sweat, and even money to take care of yourself, but again, YOU ARE WORTH IT! Start telling yourself this everyday. Sure, that may sound weird, but the more we tell ourselves that can achieve what we put our minds to, the more we believe it and then those thoughts will take root into ACTION!

So, moral of these 3: LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO BE A NEGATIVE NELLY OR NED. BE POSITIVE!
