Long days, busy schedules, bad days, negativity around every corner, so who has time to try be positive anymore. Well let me tell you something, it is easier than you may think.

In order to be positive, you need to quit focusing on all of the negative things around you!

It's as simple as thinking of all the good things that happen no matter how small. Maybe you got a good grade, had your favorite food that day or maybe you are just having a good hair day! Even in bad situations accept the bad and try to find the good! Maybe you have someone who was negative towards you, but you never know what happened to them l that before you saw them, try to be grateful your day seems to be going better than theirs!

Be positive and you will feel positive!

If you allow yourself to feel down in the dumps, you will be down in the dumps. Brush things off and try to be as positive as you can. Surround yourself with positive people because their energy will transfer to you! Share a smile with someone or compliment them. By making other people happy and feel special you will feel good about yourself and may raise the positivity in your surrounding environment! Learning to go with the flow and always move forward as best as you can is the best way to leave negativity behind you!

Learn to set aside time for yourself.

Life can be hectic and sometime we forget to take time for ourselves to relax both physically and emotionally. Set aside time to do something you like or something relaxing. Take that time to reflect on your day and try to name at least 5 things good that happened that day. Also, take time to pamper yourself. Maybe this could mean doing your makeup and hair. Take a few extra minutes in the shower. Make yourself a little treat to eat! Reward yourself for something good you did! You are worth your own time, this is something we all need to remember.

Most of all don't focus on what others think of you and do what you love!

So many stereotypes exist and so many expectations as put on our shoulder today with the fear of not fitting in. It is hard to not care what others think of you in today's society! We all need to learn as long as we are happy, satisfied and feel good about we are doing, we need to keep doing it. We shouldn't let others make us feel bad for our hobbies just because we don't share the same dislikes and likes as them. Do what makes you happy and don't let others decide what you can and can't do. Be different. Be an individual. Be you.
