Ideas to find some Positivity in your day

Create yourself a Positivity Journal. It can be an inclusion in your Gratitude Journal or a stand alone journal.

The aim of this Journal is to help you to change your thinking about your troubles. So often when we are having a difficult time it is so easy to become overwhelmed by our troubles. I find I can lose the small positive things that may have happened in the day within the rest of my troubles. That very trouble that I have been dwelling upon has actually presented me an opportunity for growth.

At the end of the day sift through the the day identifying what you might have been perceiving in a negative light. Don’t dwell on it and let yourself go into downward spiral. Acknowledge the emotion or event, see if there may be something positive that has come out of the event and if not move on to the next event.

Record all the positives you find for the day. Aim for at least 3 things a day.  If that is not possible write at least one. It can be as simple as “Today’s events are preparing me to be of service to others”.

It can also help to write a one-liner of your troubles. You can use this to compassionately see if there is a pattern that is emerging. This helps you to know where to focus so you can move into a solution mindset rather than being swamped and not knowing where to start.

Remember some events are just there to teach us something. There may be a couple of events that lead up to an A-ha moment.

Sometimes our events are there to help others. It may be part of our destiny to become a motivator, teacher or healer.

When you are down, read through your Positivity Journal to motivate you and help you focus on how far you have come.

I hope this will help you in your journey.

Light and love

WISDOM FOR THE DAY – 1 DECEMBER 2021

“Today was a Difficult Day,” said Pooh.

There was a pause.

“Do you want to talk about it?” asked Piglet.

“No,” said Pooh after a bit. “No, I don’t think I do.”

“That’s okay,” said Piglet, and he came and sat beside his friend.

“What are you doing?” asked Pooh.

“Nothing, really,” said Piglet. “Only, I know what Difficult Days are like. I quite often don’t feel like talking about it on my Difficult Days either.

“But goodness,” continued Piglet, “Difficult Days are so much easier when you know you’ve got someone there for you. And I’ll always be here for you, Pooh.”

And as Pooh sat there, working through in his head his Difficult Day, while the solid, reliable Piglet sat next to him quietly, swinging his little legs…he thought that his best friend had never been more right.”
Winnie the Pooh ~ A.A. Milne

Mindful love and hugs to those having a Difficult Day today and hope you have your own Piglet to sit beside you! 🙏💯💙🌞
