Keeping a Positive Vibe

Keeping That Positive Vibe

Keeping That Positive Vibe – Positive thinking is a mental and emotional state of mind that focuses on the good allowing you to approach everyday life and situations in a more positive and productive way. 

While positivity comes naturally for some of us and may seem effortless, for others it takes practice. The more positivity you can project, the better you’ll feel about yourself. Having an upbeat positive, optimistic energy attracts like-minded people creating more amazing opportunities and opening all sorts of doors in life.

Developing and maintaining positive energy involves more than merely thinking happy thoughts. Here are some suggestions on how to channel positive energy from the inside out:

Mix with Positive People

Research suggests that happiness and positivity are contagious. In the same way that stress and negativity are, the more you surround yourself with it, the more likely you are to let it affect your thoughts. 

Enjoy Nature

Spending time in serene natural environments has been scientifically proven to lower stress levels, improve working memory and provide a sense of rejuvenation. 

Scientists have found that one of the best ways to chase the blues away is by going for a walk.  A brisk walk calms you down by sparking nerve cells in the brain that relax the senses.

Seek Help when Required 

We may be experts in many fields, however when specialist help and knowledge is required, it’s important to reach out.

Laugh like you did as a child!

Find a way to laugh as often as you can. Watch a comedy, spend the evening with your crazy friend who knows how to keep you in stitches. Host a game night with your friends.

Laughter truly is the best medicine for most of what ails us. Laughter strengthens your immune system, boosts mood, diminishes pain, and protects you from the damaging effects of stress.

Set yourself some goals

If you aren’t focusing on yourself and your goals, now’s a good time to start. There’s almost nothing more powerful and charismatic than a person who works towards their goals, it creates an inherent confidence and joy that is palpable to others, because it shows how much you believe in yourself and respect yourself.

Use Positive Words, Smile and share your positivity

The way we communicate directly impacts the energy we give off, so using words like love, solution, happy, secure, etc. will channel a more cheerful outlook. In addition, a smile is a small action that can make a big difference

When being more positive, it’s good to share. It can’t hurt to compliment others, either. This always works because you are showing them a sign of appreciation and admiration

Project positive body language 

Your posture is an excellent nonverbal indication of how you feel about yourself. Humans are wired to respond to body language instinctively. Slouching, crossing your arms, putting your hands in your pockets, even crossing your legs give off a vibe of you being closed off or unapproachable, so, open your body up. Stand with your shoulders back, uncross your arms, and face whoever you’re talking to. They’ll pick up on your open vibes, for sure.

Promote a Restful Sleep

Proper rest is a critical part of maintaining a positive attitude. Studies have shown that even partial sleep deprivation has a significant effect on your mental state.

Stay in The Moment

Put your phone away when you’re grabbing lunch with a friend or turn the TV off when you’re cooking yourself a nice meal. Distractions prevent us from living in the moment and savouring even the most seemingly mundane tasks.

Keep A Daily Gratitude List

Another way to boost your positivity is by focusing on what’s positive. List 10 things you are grateful for, which can be anything from reality TV to your family. Reminding ourselves to express gratitude for the good things we have in our life makes us feel more appreciative.

Researchers continue to explore the effects of positive thinking and optimism on health. Health benefits that positive thinking may provide may include:

Increased life span

Lower rates of depression

Lower levels of distress

Greater resistance to the common cold

Better psychological and physical well-being

Better cardiovascular health and reduced risk of death from cardiovascular disease

Better coping skills during hardships and times of stress

It’s unclear why people who engage in positive thinking experience these health benefits. Perhaps having a positive outlook enables you to cope better with stressful situations, which reduces the harmful health effects of stress on your body.
