Positivity
βEvery day may not be good, but there is something good in every day.β – Alice Morse Earle.
Positivity means focusing on the good things in life, even when things get tough. Itβs about thinking
and acting in a way that makes you feel happy and hopeful. Being positive can help you feel better,
solve problems, and have a more joyful life.
Our tips for practising positivity:
- Help others β Helping someone else, even in a small way, can make you feel good about yourself too.
- Focus on the good β Look for the positive in every situation. Every day, there is always something positive.
- Use positive words β Try saying things like βI can do thisβ or βIβll keep trying and I will get thereβ.
- Be kind to yourself β Donβt be too hard on yourself. Try to remind yourself that you are trying your best. Celebrate any small successes!
- Practise gratitude β Think about three things that you are thankful for each day. It could be something as simple as a sunny day or a friend saying something nice to you.
- Spend time with positive people.
- Find something you enjoy β Whether it is a hobby, sport, quality time with friends and family, or watching your favourite TV programme, doing something you love can bring you joy.
- Try using positive affirmations β Tell yourself one positive thing every day, like βI am enoughβ or βI am trying my bestβ.
- Keep a positive journal β Write down things that you are proud of or moments that made you smile.
Positivity makes a big difference!
When you practise positivity, you start seeing the world in a brighter way. You can face challenges with confidence and believe in yourself. Positivity is also contagious β when youβre positive, you inspire others to be positive too!
