30 Day Positivity Challenge

30 Day Positivity Challenge – The story so far

Early July I set you the task of looking at – or should I say re looking at attitude and approach to life ie positivity and all its connotations.

Well how are you getting on?

Staying positive is the key….  using positive language….. re thinking things and celebrating successes no matter how small they appear to be – its a mind set approach and strategy – thats the challenge – this is the 30 Day Positivity Challenge – celebrating success small or large and getting used to doing just that.

Moving from I don’t think I can do this

To

I can do this I just need to `relook` at how I do it

This is the biggest change you need to engage in – I found it works for me.

My biggest challenge in the 30 Day Positivity Challenge – blogging and doing proactive work on my business re new clients and Development Plan development workshops and so forth.  Now I am more active in blogging (slow but getting there) and the development plan – well once I stopped beating myself up it happens to be coming along nicely – I moved from being too busy to do anything to getting organised and setting it out simply but starting it which was half the battle.

Its not easy – I know, often the negative thoughts come in – I call it my little devil on my shoulder whispering in my ear – `you can’t do this, who told you you were smart enough, what makes you think anyone would listen to you ` and the list goes on.

BUT – he is getting quieter as I get stronger in my positivity and belief in myself that I can do things, I will make it and I am getting successful both in my personal life and my business/work life.

Why not – positivity is making life so much more enjoyable – seeing things from a slightly different angle or approach is fun, challenging but enjoyable – I even have the kids at it and the husband.

Well if you want to have only positive people around you need to make sure those closest and dearest are doing it too – and its there I physically see the positivity radiating – hubby going for things in work that never considered before or even appeared interested before in.

The kids are the same, less squabbling, less put downs to one another, (still have normal teenagers and angst and stuff but not as before) and the household is, dare I say it `happier`.

Positivity and the offshoots of it have brought more benefits that I realised – I have had to work hard at it but really it seems to be paying off.

I practice it every day and now getting more and more used to stopping myself – from glass half empty to half full approach – and its this mind set that is the change.

After all you don’t see the top entrepreneurs or business people stop and doubt their own ability to make money or be successful – they are confident they will do just that and it is this confidence that allows them to do it. If something does not work – they reason it out why and then move on with a new approach.

Positivity and the power of being positive is very `catching` and you often find that other people around you begin to feel confident along with you, they embrace your positivity – hence why you should not then be around negative people as they only sadly suck your energy and positivity dry.

Like attracts like, positivity attracts positivity – that has been the 30 day positivity challenge.

How have you got on over the past 30 days ? let me know as this is all part of the life changes that many of us have to engage in – you are like a magnet you attract things to you or even a boomerang – what you throw out there you inevitably get coming back to you – worth remembering.

So thats the 30 Day Positivity Challenge – what changes have occurred – keep a journal of it all,

staying positive - celebrate your sucesses

Stay positive – celebrate your suceses every day, no matter how small!

and where are you now on your journey.

Keep smiling keep being positive.

Keep Celebrating your successes everyday, whether they are big or small.

 

 

 

Staying Positive – Really does it work!

Staying Positive – Does it really Work?

I have decided to set myself the small but important challenge of getting this blogging off the ground and running.

So here it is – these are my tips at staying positive and how it can actually work for you – from a real person, dealing with real issues in a very real and normal life.

6 Simple Tips for Staying Positive

1.  Set your self a challenge that you want to start to make changes in your life – that is the first and the most important step – becoming positive or more positive about life needs you to WANT to make changes and go with those changes.

2.  Keep it simple and start small – begin by LOOKING for what is going right in your life rather than what is going wrong.

Start making those lists and taking some time out of your life to really look around you on what you have, who you know, what you are good at, what you are learning or have learnt and then be thankful for those things that are right in your life – this could become a bit of a mantra for you on a daily basis to do before bed and when get up in the morning.

3.  Celebrate success – no matter how small or how insignificant it might seem at the time.

4.  Use positive language all the time – try not to get back into the habit of using negative language as this blocks you from seeing the positives or what is right and where those right things are.

5. Keep a journal, diary or how ever you want to record things – this is wonderful to look back on and reflect on how far you have come and it usually is in a quicker time than your realise.

6. Surround yourself with positive people and like minded people – not about shunning friendships but you will find that as you become more and more positive and looking for the good and right things that the negative people move on – some still try to bring you down but in time even they get fed up and move on – do not let negative people suck you dry of your energy or positivity.

Now I know this might seem all a bit twee but honestly start looking at things slightly differently from a more optimistic point of view or attitude and you will be surprised how many times more possibilities and opportunities arise for you.

Go on why not try it for the next 30 days with me and I will blog at least once a week on how it is going for me – no messing with it being wonderful if not but being honest with one another.

I dare you to take up the challenge.
