For some time now, it seems that we are constantly surrounded by cruelty, brutality and uncertainty. This is also because we are connected practically 24 hours a day with news of wars, tragedies and endless cruelty.
How can we stay positive in such a negative world? With the help of these 12 steps, which we have listed below, we can achieve maintaining the daily positivity that each of us needs, even if the events in the world keep us grounded.
1. Let's control the amount of negative news in our lives
Sometimes a single headline can be enough to make us wonder about the world we live in, so it is best to limit the time we spend in front of the television, internet and radio and choose only a few news items that we read in their entirety.
2. Let's control the number of negative people in our lives
Yes, this is also a very important factor in maintaining our daily positivity. But sometimes it is also necessary to take a break, away from the negative. Although it can often be very painful, it is necessary to organize our time away from people who constantly drag us down.
3. Let's listen to music
It is probably well known to all of us that music affects our well-being, so use it to help you maintain daily positivity and relaxation. But, of course, only with music that makes us happy and calm.
4. Let's meditate
Meditation is nothing new to us in 2014, so this method is also very suitable to forget everything around us for a moment and immerse ourselves in our mind. We know many different ways of meditation, which cannot necessarily be done just by sitting with your legs crossed.
5. We live consciously
This is also a very important point to be aware of our every breath and all the beauty that surrounds us, so that we can feel the gratitude of the moment that overcomes every force that wants to drag us down.
6. Let's practice gratitude
We appreciate the people who help us maintain positivity day in and day out, so that we can help others, even if it's just giving up a seat on the bus for someone or holding the front door for someone. Every little thing counts.
7. Let's read a positive book
In addition to good positive books, TED talks are also excellent, which can be viewed online and help us as additional motivation.
8. Let's hug someone
Hugs can often act as a stress reliever, bringing a smile to people's faces.
9. Let's disconnect
Let's take some time in the day when we don't need to stare at our smartphone and instead turn it off or put it away.
10. Let's laugh
"Laughter is half of health" and it is true, because laughter has many positive effects on our psychological and physical health.
11. Let's spend some time in the company of animals
If we have a pet at home, it is good to take time for them at least once a day, because in addition to making them happy, their company also has a therapeutic effect on us.
