Day 10

Positivity-Staying Positive

17 Then Eli answered and said, “Go in peace, and the God of Israel grant your petition which you have asked of Him.” 18 And she said, “Let your maidservant find favor in your sight.” So the woman went her way and ate, and her face was no longer sad.

1 Samuel 1:17-18 NKJV

Cultivating a positive mindset involves re-framing negativity and choosing positive thoughts despite the circumstances. A positive outlook will empower you to overcome challenges, find creative solutions, and pursue hope. Appreciating your blessings in life and seeking joy leads to a greater sense of fulfillment and contentment. Choosing to be positive has emotional benefits too and inspires and uplifts others. 

Engaging in activities that spark joy for you, like exercising, art, music, nature, baking, prayer, or hobbies, can help you stay positive. Choosing healthy habits like eating nourishing food and getting enough sleep will have profound physical and mental benefits to maintaining positivity. 

By being kind to others and offering acts of service helps to get you out of your head when you focus on the needs of others. You can’t be grateful and grumpy at the same time! Simply seeking joy and looking for the positive side of life will brighten your day and create a ripple effect for others. 

Another important aspect of maintaining positivity is being willing to let go of grudges, resentments and negative emotions. Give yourself the gift of freedom by offering forgiveness toward yourself and others to fully liberate your thinking. 

By choosing positivity on purpose, you can create a more joyful, meaningful, and fulfilling life for yourself and those around you.
