Staying positive isn't easy, especially in difficult situations. Sometimes rude individuals, accidents and life in general make that silver lining impossible to find. So how exactly does one keep up a happy, welcoming attitude even when happy and welcoming are the very last thing they want to be?
As anyone who has had the pleasure of meeting Miles Cantrell knows, he is one of the most positive people to have ever existed. There is never a time when he is not upbeat and ready to go on to the next adventure. To sum him up for those who have never met Miles, he's just an overall pleasant person to be around. So in an effort to increase the amount of positivity in the world, I asked Miles for some of his secrets to staying so happy. And being the wonderful person he is, he said yes. So here's four tricks to staying positive, as told by Miles.
"When you think positivity and happiness, you'll be positive and happy." - Miles
We always get out of a situation what we put into it, when we show up with a pleasant attitude, we're naturally going to have a better experience.
Tip 2: Sing a song
According to Miles, singing a song everyday is a proven way to raise your's or someone else's spirits. A personal favorite is Justin Timberlake's new hit Can't Stop The Feeling, but you find songs that work best for you!
Tip 3: Smile A LOT
Miles is smiling 90 percent of the time, and I'm sure that includes sleeping as well. Sometimes we just have to force it, even when smiling is the last thing we want to do. You'd be surprised at how fast your day starts to pick up by that one simple act. It also improves everyone around you's day too!
Tip 4: God
"It's all God. His love and life are in me, and I live my life to be more like him." -Miles
Miles radiates a glow that affects everyone he comes in contact with. He spreads God's love and grace daily, and is an excellent role model as a Christian.
