10 Tips To Increase Your Positivity

Our lives are filled with challenges that can make it difficult to be positive sometimes. However, choosing to be positive can greatly help to overcome these challenges, making us become happier and stronger in the process. Adopting a positive mental attitude during your time on plan will make the experience easier. So here we share our top 10 tips to increase your positivity.

“There is nothing good or bad, but thinking makes it so.” William Shakespeare

1) Show appreciation

Sometimes we forget to show appreciation. This is especially true when it comes to the more simple things in life, which often mean the most to us. Try turning a negative situation on its head by noting three things you appreciate. Remembering and acknowledging what you appreciate in life can have a great impact on uplifting your mood.

2) Don’t compare yourself to others

This is something the majority of us are probably guilty of. Comparing ourselves to others just creates unnecessary pain. If you pass one person, you are likely to find another who is more successful and so the cycle continues. Comparison to others creates unnecessary anxiety so try to break this habit once and for all.

While on plan, don’t compare yourself to others who have lost more weight than you. Seek comfort in the fact that you too will get there one day.

3) Feed your positivity

The only way to improve a skill is to practice and build upon it by reinforcing that behaviour, so why not apply this to positive thinking?! To help you on your mission to positivity, do activities which cultivate these emotions. Studies indicate that practices such as meditation, yoga and keeping a journal, as well as spending time with family and friends have the ability to increase positive feelings.

Try documenting your New You journey. Start a journal, take before photos and record how you’re feeling.

4) Live in the here and now

Recognising that the past is in the past is immensely beneficial. Try not to let your mind drift to the past or future more than necessary as this can create a negative loop of thoughts in your mind.

5) Surround yourself with positive people

Research has revealed that stress is contagious. In order to maintain a sunny disposition, positive thinkers only surround themselves with people who impact positively on their mood. Spend more time with those who uplift your mood and less time with those who radiate negativity.

6) Research an area for improvement

Self education can help you lead a more positive life! If there is an area you would like to improve upon, whether it’s financial, your health or a relationship, read great books on the particular area.

Improvement = positivity.

7) Play out an event in your mind

Mentally rehearsing how great an event will play out is a fantastic method to improve your performance and decrease anxiety. So whether it’s a big meeting, job interview or first date, envision how great it could be beforehand.

When you wake up in the morning, mentally envision how great you’ll feel at the end of the day knowing that you’ve stuck to the plan 100%. Wake up with determination, go to bed with satisfaction.

8) Focus on what you want

Focusing on what you want rather than what you don’t want, can make it harder to remain positive so always work towards your goal!

Start a mood board with your dream wardrobe that you plan to purchase when you reach your target.

9) Act positively

When you don’t feel positive, calm or confident, fake it! Our emotions work backwards so acting positively can actually change your mood. Ever heard the old adage that smiling can actually make your happy? It applies here.

Stand in front of the mirror, smile, and say: “Today I choose happiness.”

10) Share your positivity with others

By spreading your positivity, you will better the mood of those around you. Smile more, pay compliments and be nice to people in order to make the world a happier place!

Armed with a positive mental attitude, you New You journey will be much easier!
