Why be positive? What can positivity bring to your life?
Well, for starters being positive positively impacts your mental and physical well-being. It helps to reduce stress, creates happiness, improves relationships, and ultimately leads to better overall health. Yes! It pays to be positive.
Being positive is not about having a pleasant demeanor or even having a smile on your face, it is much deeper than that. While for some, it is about maintaining an optimistic mindset - seeing the glass as half full instead of half empty. For others, positivity is a result of having faith in God. Faith builds sincere trust in God. When you are faithful, you believe His promises and wait patiently on Him. By believing in God’s word, your outlook on life and attitude will be transformed. It’s like you are given wings and power to take on whatever life throws at you. You can walk boldly knowing that God loves you and He has your best interest at heart always.
Wherever your positive attitude comes from, it is important to water it. This can be done by training your mind with daily positive affirmations. There are several free and paid apps available. Praying, reading the bible and inspirational books or quotes will keep you motivated.
Whatever you face, keep your eyes fixed on Jesus. Philippians 4: 6-7 ‘Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Think positively and keep your thoughts fixed on the things of God!
