Since returning from my travels, I feel a lot more positive about what I want from life and those around me. I have realised a lot of this will happen through hard work teamed with positivity. After all, if you're feeling negative about something whether you feel like you don't deserve it or it's too hard etc, you will find it extremely difficult to succeed!
At the moment I seem to have become poorly which is making my ability to stay positive very difficult. I feel like crap therefore my mood is slipping to match it.I am trying so very hard though to stay positive and prepare well for the new school term starting. This got me to thinking how to keep the new found positivity so obviously I turned to my best friend...Google!!
Here are some of my favourite ways to stay positive:
- Whenever you respond to a situation make sure you feel calm. If not, pretty much the only response you will have is a negative one. Calm down first.
- Talk to a positive friend who can encourage you.
- Remember your favorite quotes as these can give you motivation and encouragement.
- Slow down. The more you rush about the more anxiety you feel which inevitably leads to feeling stressed and negative.
- Be yourself. Make sure you are happy in yourself and this will radiate positivity and confidence.
I very rarely share photos which involve me but it felt right for this post. On one of our stops on my travels, we went to an Apple Pie Bakery/Restaurant in Canada. Many went to eat but me and Miss Aussie were feeling cooped up after being on the bus and had far too much energy therefore we decided to just run around, take photos with the animals on the golf course (yea...I have no idea what this place is but it had a giant apple haha) and basically act like kids. We just didn't care and were happy to just be silly. At this moment we both felt positive and happy and it's a nice moment to remember.

I know some sound cheesy and pretty easy to do but when we start feeling negative it's amazing how fast we lose control over our emotions. I for one will be trying to remember some of these once I get back to work!!

Love these tips! A positive friend can go miles. The hubs is always positive, so I rely on him. If I am feeling down, I go for a walk or run, that seems to do the trick for me!
You are very lucky (and I'm pretty sure you know it too :-) ) to have found your best friend like you have!!
