“All of life is a journey; which paths we take, what we look back on, and what we look forward to is up to us. We determine our destination, what kind of road we will take to get there, and how happy we are when we get there.” -From A Little Book of Happiness
Are you living your greatest life or do you feel like life could be happier? Why not elevate your tomorrow starting right now; by simply cultivating your attitude. Does anyone truly stop to evaluate their thoughts and perspectives throughout their busy day? Probably not; yet considering the enormity of their value on our overall level of happiness, it would be well advised to reflect more inwardly. The rewards are boundless.
Keeping a positive attitude isn’t always easy, especially, when you are going through a difficult time in your life, or you are trying to get past years of habitual negative thoughts. Maintaining positive thinking is key, in order to connect with an optimistic outlook on life. It is possible to keep an air of a positive attitude, even during challenging obstacles in life.
Keep in mind, how The Law of Attraction states “that thought energy and projected energy attract similar energy. As a result, we attract things into our lives according to our thoughts and projected energy. Simply stated, we attract into our lives whatever we direct our conscious attention to.” Above all else, it is important to understand that that which you focus on will fuel your thoughts, enforcing the creation of your reality. Ergo, if you surrender to negative thoughts and feelings, you emit negative energy.
Unhappy people tend to become further irritated when being told to ‘cheer up’ or ‘things could be worse, at least you have a roof over your head, your health, and a job’ and so on. Keeping a thought journal is an excellent and highly charged tool in reconnecting with your happiness; in living your greatest life. Write down all that you are grateful for. Nothing is too small or insignificant. Counting your blessings and identifying and celebrating them are precisely what you should do. Recording any thoughts and feelings you’ve experienced that day and perhaps rate its level of intensity will prove monumental. At the end of each day or week reread your thought journal.
There are numerous health benefits to keeping a positive attitude that astound most, as positive thinkers tend to live longer, fulfilling lives! Research has uncovered a reduced chance of high blood pressure, depression, diabetes, and cardiac disease. Armed with a positive attitude, charges you to ward off infection, manage pain, and heal faster from illness. Incorporating a healthy diet with some physical exercise will enrich your energy field; feeding healthy positive vibrations and thoughts, your conscious attention will be happy and fulfilled.
Clearly, thinking positively is the way to go. But is it really achievable, you might ask. The answer is an indisputable YES! Surround yourself with positive people and practice your awareness in your day to day living. You will undoubtedly begin to not only notice but to feel warmth from within – happiness and love will begin to flourish. Your attitude is the key to your living your greatest life full of happiness.
