We don’t have control over the way life plays out, but we do not have to be a victim to its tyranny. With a few savvy insights and positive action steps, we can power through almost anything that comes our way.
When life is not cooperating, try this tips to stay upbeat and positive
- LAUGH ANYWAY, ANYHOW- A good relaxed feeling. To stay upbeat and positive, make laughter a circumspect part of your arsenal against the blues. In fact, laughter will do you a world of good and there is so much to stress over these days—politics, the economy, the ozone layer, the missing button on your favorite shirt. Cheers
- EXECUTE- . It’s hard to worry about a problem while you are busy solving it. Once you’ve identified what deflates your spirit, made a plan to overcome it and developed some mental arsenals it’s time to bring out the big guns. Attack your problems with a vengeance.
- DEVELOP A PLAN- Be specific. And once that is done, make a plan. Write out what you can do to turn around your sour mood. Often we just feel “off” and we let it affect our day without finding out what it is that made us feel down in the first place. So identify what’s making you feel despondent.
- ASSOCIATE WITH WINNER- The greatest investment for the worrywart is to find a cell of positive-minded, successful people. How did they get where they are? How do they think?
We tend to think like the people we hang around. That’s not news, but how often do we stop and notice who we talk to every day? - SPEAK POSITIVELY- A few verbal affirmations throughout the day will go a long way toward lifting your spirits. It’s impossible to shout, “I feel fantastic!” and be depressed at the same time.
