Being in the state of
Positivism

Being in the state of POSITIVISM…..being positive is so refreshing. All aspects of daily life can be viewed through rose-colored glasses, or being positive, if you choose to do so. Of course some situations or circumstances may not be conducive to thinking or feeling positive while in that confining state of emotion, fear or the like, but an attempt is always available to use……and in many situations being or even becoming more positive can indeed change the current conditions and most likely the outcome to a more favorable one. And this just may be because of your new positive thought pattern in seeing or observing a condition or situation differently than before.

In my experience, I have tried many avenues in trying to understand how to become positive more often and especially in how to sustain such thoughts and feelings of being more positive or looking on the bright side over a period of time, or at least more often. Many have failed, but I was intent on changing my life to a more joyful and creative one, especially one that had ME at the helm and not controlled by negativity or self-pity.

Synonym

More than certainty…..but having trust, calmness
“looking on the bright side”
“The glass is one-half full” attitude

I discovered one that works for me and it might just work for you.

It is the feeling of joy combined with the realization that comes from that certainty of expectation that is the key in sustaining the positive thought.

This positive thought now has an increased energy associated with it. You have a momentum that is building within your thinking process that could possibly alter the outcome!!! By saying that you expect a certain result….combined with joy in thinking about it and visualizing it, you have put positive vibes out and the outcome will become altered to some degree. If only to agree that you are seeing different possible options that lie ahead for yourself….now that you have a more positive outlook….it expands your thinking process and can bring you out of being stuck in that dark pool of negative thoughts or just feeling immobile as to what to do next. You need to raise your energy level.

So feel it…   trust it.     expect it.

Being joyful…                            being positive!
