Every day, Lisa Bonchek Adams posts the following Tweet:
"Find a bit of beauty in the world today. Share it. If you can't find it, create it. Some days this may be hard to do. Persevere."
Every single day. Pretty cool, I thought. Every time I see it, it makes me think. It doesn't get old. What a great way to try to find something positive in every day.
I have something a little similar, wherein if I start thinking too much about things that make me feel anxious or unhappy, I tell myself to "shut up and breathe, just shut up and breathe". Not quite as poetic as Lisa's, and a bit more bossy and demanding, but it tends to make me snap out of whatever unpleasant train of thought I'm having and bring myself back to the present moment so I'm not so wrapped up in those thoughts.
Whether it's something you say to yourself every day to find positivity, or something you use to stop feeling stressed, an encouraging thought to rely on when you need it can be a great thing to have. And if you make a habit of incorporating it into your life, positivity will become routine and natural to you.
