How thoughts of being happy, loving, caring, and kind can create a ripple effect into your life for the better. We all ‘look for the positives’ in situations, but instead of ‘looking’ for them, why don’t we ‘create’ them?

Sometimes life will beat you down, and make it hard to get back up. Dark skies cloud upon your sun, but it is up to you to force it to shine through.

This article will outline four ways in which you can practice positivity for yourself and others around you.

The more positive people you surround yourself with the more positivity will follow your life.
How To Be A More Positive Person: Unleash the Full Potential of Positive Thinking
Self-Love
The first step to having no stress and be positive is creating a positive atmosphere to ensure you love yourself. Love who you are, what you look like, and everything you do. You are unique, special, and bring so much to the world.
Having this type of mindset each and every day will allow you to start off in a positive environment, and this type of mindset will allow you accomplish anything you have set out for the day.
Being positive can do incredible things for anyone, and change any dark day into a happier sunny day.
If you have a bad and negative view of yourself then nothing else in the day will change your mindset, and you may be unproductive because you do not love yourself. You must always think of ways to be positive.
Jenn August states in her article that “Money= Struggle, Fear, or many negative beliefs…[and] Love=Success & Money”. Everyone wants to be successful in life, but in order to do so you must keep a positive image of yourself throughout every day.
Appreciate yourself, and you will be amazed what you can accomplish when you set yourself in a positive state of being.
Be Humble Because Pride Will Take You Nowhere
Confidence is always an important quality to have in life, because it affects how you approach daily situations and tasks.
A ‘can-do’ attitude will bring you success, and allow you to accomplish and task ahead of you.
Even when you fail, because everyone fails at some point, you need to keep your head up and try again and know in your mind and heart that you can do anything.
However, always stay humble. When you find success in life do not rub it in others faces. You have succeeded; so let others congratulate you and embrace their praises.
But always remember to stay modest. Thank those who congratulate you, and celebrate your successes, but do not go over the top and become selfish and cocky.
Staying humble will keep you in control of your actions, and allow you to think rationally instead of thinking you are ‘the best’ at something. In the end, staying humble will make your life easier, and fill it with positivity.
Plant Kindness Because You Will Harvest it Ten Folds in the Future
Helping others will automatically make you feel good about yourself, and that power of positivity is something you cannot mimic or create of your own.
Seeing the gratitude in someone for helping him or her out is an incredible feeling, and will bring joy and satisfaction to your life.
Go out of your way to do the little things: Hold the door for someone, help someone carry groceries to their car, donate to a charity or anything else you can do to make someone else’s day easier.
When you bring positivity into someone else’s life you are also blessed with that feeling, so by helping others you are also helping yourself. That is what is so great about the power of positivity: it is so transferable and all around us if we create it.

Love Others to be Loved Back
The best way to bring positivity into your life is to love yourself, but to create that extra sense of happiness is to love others unconditionally.
Tell someone today that you appreciate them, and mean it from the heart. You never know what people are going through inany given moment, and that quick little message may turn their negative day into a happy and positive one.
Melissa Vallas wrote in her article that “Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), which focuses on transforming relationships into ones that feels safe, secure and connected, have also been found to be effective in significantly reducing the symptoms of depression and anxiety”.
Keeping connections with those people who you keep close to you will keep both yourself and those around you in a positive mental state.
Knowing they have someone who cares about them will be reciprocated to you, and you will feel good knowing you have someone out there as well.
The Golden Rule
This is the one way to bring positivity into your life as well as into everyone you ever come across in your life. If you Treat Others the Way You Want to be Treated then your life will be filled with the power of positivity.
People react to their interactions with other people, and if those interactions are filled with kindness and caring gestures then the world will be a positive place.
You may ask though ‘what about those who wronged me?’ Well there is very simple and effective answer to that…you need to take the high road.
There is an article written by ‘Better Life Coaching Blog’ that states, “The true test of character and maturity is to always treat other better than they treat you.
Whilst that may seem like a strange way of thinking, you’ll be amazed by the positive impact this has”. This statement alone is the key to bringing an incredible amount of positivity to your life, and to others.
When others are negative to you make sure you stick to the high road, because it is possible they are having a rough day, and you are the one they take it out on.
Try and be positive and understanding so that they may realize that there is a better way to deal with negativity.
Treat them with a positive outlook, and even if they do not accept the positivity you can leave knowing you tried to make a positive impact on their life.
Be happy for yourself, and wish them the best of luck in having a better day.
Conclusion
The Power of Positivity is extraordinary, and can create such a constructive environment for you to live in. Help others, take care of yourself, and treat everyone with kindness and the world will open its doors to you.
You never know what someone is going through when you cross paths with them, so a goal is to make them smile.
Anyone you interact with on a daily basis should leave talking to you with a positive attitude because that’s how we make the world a better and more successful place.
