One of the best things you can do to boost your happiness is to build more positivity into your life. The good news is this isn’t difficult or complicated. There are a few things you can do to add more positive experiences and fun into your life.

 

The Power of Positivity

 

Tip 1. Believe that you are valuable and deserve to be happy

 

The wonderful thing about positivity is that it doesn’t just affect one area of your life. It affects every area. Depending on your personality and your upbringing, you may not believe that your happiness matters.

 

The happier you are, the more you lean into the best version of yourself. This creates a ripple effect—when you’re filled with joy and peace, you become a better parent, a better spouse, a better friend, a better employee, or a better entrepreneur. This works both ways so be aware of  things that make you feel bad about yourself.

 

So, how exactly does positivity affect you? Here are just a few of the ways…

 

Tip 2. Avoid people who make you feel negative about yourself as their presence will drain your energy 

 

Positivity makes it easier for you to achieve your goals. That’s because when you’re a positive frame of mind, you can make better decisions. You can look ahead and plot a course, rather than just reacting to the setbacks you encounter.

 

It’s also easier to ask for help when you’re feeling positive. This means when you see an obstacle in your path, you’re more likely to reach out to a mentor or coach for advice. Soaking in their wisdom can be just what you need to overcome your obstacle and find success.

 

Positivity improves your health. One way that positivity can boost your health is by lowering your blood pressure and heart rate. When you’re experiencing negative emotions like anger or fear, your body will begin producing adrenaline, the flight-or-fight hormone. This is a great mechanism when you’re faced with an emergency like a serious car accident or house fire.

 

But when you’re faced with something less intense like turning a report into your boss or having a serious discussion with your spouse, that adrenaline response just isn’t helpful. Fortunately, positivity makes it easier to relax and manage stress, so you don’t have to spend the day feeling like you’re on a rollercoaster.

 

Tip 3. Complete a small task each day as this will boost your confidence 

 

Positivity increases your satisfaction in life. It’s easy to get focused on everything that’s wrong in the world and it’s tempting to spend your time looking at what everyone else has. But all of that wishing and jealousy is just another form of negativity.

 

When you choose to embrace positive thoughts and focus on the things you’re grateful for, you stop comparing yourself. Instead, you can see all the amazing things around you—like your friends, family, and pets.

 

Tip 4. Each morning write down one thing you are grateful  for as this will lift you spirit at the start of the day

 

Positivity helps you grow. Positivity can be useful by prompting you to take risks and try new things. For example, you might experiment with a new hobby such as taking piano lessons and discover that you love the instrument or you might try a new exercise routine and find you just can't wait to fit it in each day.

 

Of course, being positive and taking a risk doesn’t mean everything will turn out the way you’d hoped. But even if it doesn’t and you maintain a positive outlook, you’re still sure to walk away with valuable experience and wisdom that you can share. 

 

Tip 5. Being Positive takes practice so if you experience something negative try and find a bright side.
