Last Day for Party Printables, plus Tips for Positive Thinking

Happy Monday!

Happy Monday! It’s a glorious almost-fall day here in Central Ontario. I actually got up and went out for a walk this morning to start my day on a self-care note. I’m going to be doing a lot more of that going forward because I know I need to take better care of myself.

Yesterday’s golf tournament was a great time. We were paired with some really nice people, and I even played half decently and made some great putts. I didn’t get any pictures because I forgot to charge my phone before we left and it was dead by the time we got there! I was kicking myself too, because on one hole, there was a great blue heron standing in the rushes, and he took flight just as we walked by him. What a glorious site that was! It did make for a long day though because by the time dinner and prizes were over with, it was getting close to 7 p.m.

Did you know that today is Positive Thinking Day? I think that’s something we could probably all do a lot more of… I know I can get caught in a spiral of negative thinking pretty easily when I get stressed and overwhelmed. So for today’s read, I have a few tips for thinking positive for you.

Today’s Read: Making Positive Thinking Work For You

At it’s core, the whole essence of personal growth can be boiled down to one simple concept — positive thinking. We’ve all heard all the sayings, I’m sure. Things like:

  • What you focus on is what you get;
  • Like attracts like;
  • Your thoughts create your reality

just to list a few.

And it’s true. I have been using positive thinking techniques for years to get through some pretty tough times. The one place I don’t agree with many is that they make it sound so easy. And while in theory it is, in practice it can be a very hard thing for many people to do.

Here’s the thing… While it’s really easy to think positive and good thoughts when everything is flowing your way, it’s not an easy thing to do when you’re feeling like the whole world has turned against you.

So how can you make positive thinking work for you? Here are a few ways that I’ve used it, as recently as yesterday, to get through one of those rough days…

1. Use positive affirmations

I love affirmations. They have gotten me through many a stressful occasion, be it a job interview, an argument with my son, or a less than pleasing doctor’s appointment.

It’s so easy to revert to the panic and anxiety-laden thought processes when you get bad news, but if you can change your thoughts to something positive you will be able to handle it more calmly.

In the heat of the moment, my favorite affirmation is a simple “I am at peace in this moment.” I spend a lot of time telling myself that one when things aren’t going the way I want them to. And it works… it may take a few times (okay, maybe more than a few) to get myself calmed down but usually by the time I can get to my journal and really start to process things, I’m much more rational than I was in the beginning.

2. Hang out with positive people

Positive people are truly a gift from whatever God you believe in. Having friends that can help you put a positive spin on a less-than-positive experience, and can see the good parts of you when you’re ranting and raving and cursing like only a Canadian can, helps you see that things probably aren’t as bad as you’re thinking they are.

3. Practice gratitude

Gratitude is another one of those things, like affirmations and positive thoughts, that can turn your mindset around in a minute if you let it. When you can pick out at least one thing in a situation where you think there is nothing to be thankful for, and manage a moment of gratitude for the tiniest thing you will find yourself feeling more positive about the whole situation.

4. Turn the negative into positive

So how do you turn a negative into a positive? You find the lesson in the experience, accept responsibility for the circumstances that got you there, and move on.

I know that sounds harsh, but it’s not really. It’s life, and to use a popular cliche, when you get lemons you can either cry about it or you can make lemonade.

I’ve gotten a lot of lessons out of my experiences over the years. I know that it’s my own fault I’m in the situation I’m in, and that I need to take better care of myself to get out of it. I know what I need to do, and am more determined to do it now. This was a really good wake up call for me… and that’s definitely positive.

And, the biggest positive for me is that I write about stuff and share it with you. It’s a great lesson for me to always remember to practice what I preach.

Positive thinking… what would we do without it?
