Think Positive!


‘A positive quote per day helps keep the negative attitudes away’


Thinking positive makes life so much better. However, many people find thinking positive, something really difficult to do. If you are struggling with something or are going through a dark time, try and think of 3 good things about your day. And before saying "nothing's good about today", really push yourself to do it! I promise you that everyday may not be good, but there is something good in everyday. And yes, that is a quote but it fits perfectly with what I'm trying to say! The things do not have to be extraordinary. They can be very simple. 
                     For instance today: 
  1.  I ate an ice-cream.
  2.  I wore one of my favorite outfits.
  3.  I sang a lot.

There, you have it. 3 simple things I enjoyed today. Now, you try :) I find it very easy to focus on the negative things so pushing myself to see the positive things is challenging but really makes a difference. I love using Intagram for that. Taking pictures of little things that you love.

There are two ways of seeing life. This quote represents it very well (and yes, I am obsessed with quotes if you were wondering!):

“We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses.”
― Abraham Lincoln

I know you may think that you think about things negatively without wanting to and you can't really help it. But you can change that! If you push yourself everyday to do something different, something that you love, and do your little list of 3 good things about your day, with time, it will become a nice kind of habit and help you focus more on the positive things that surround you everyday. Last quote of the day :

                                                   


Also, try to surround yourself as much as possible with people that make your day a little brighter just by being in it. That will help. They can be one of the 3 good things about your day! 

I think I've quoted enough today so I'll move on to songs.
Last year was a very difficult year for me and I wasn't happy. One of the things that did make me feel a bit better was music. There is music for everyone. Now, you might not have the same musical taste as me but here are some of my favourites songs that I used to listen to (and still enjoy listening to ;) ! )
