The Positive Effects of Positivity

A positive outlook is something that can be carried with you every day and may prove to be the tool that you are missing.

There is nothing more important than having a positive attitude. The attitude you display toward your day-to-day activities can make a huge difference in improving the quality of your life! Positivity makes the world go round and helps to ensure everything functions harmoniously. It’s a no-brainer that positivity positively affects you.

Having a positive mindset can oftentimes be easier said than done. That doesn't mean that you are incapable of finding the good, but it might mean that you are struggling in other facets of your life that are leaving you feeling overworked and stressed. If you struggle to find the positives, you may consider looking into other ways to stimulate serotonin, one of which could be Acupuncture. Acupuncture, in addition to some simple daily routines, can help to boost both your mood and your positive outlook.

5 Daily Routines to Increase Your Positive Outlook

1. Creating a Morning Routine

Mornings are meant to be a time in which you slowly wake up and prepare yourself for the day, but in our fast-paced world, we often miss the opportunity to embrace the calm before heading into the storm. By making time for yourself to slowly ease into the day, whether that is with a cup of tea, a quick journal entry, or simply laying quietly, you allow yourself to begin the day in a more mindful and positive way.

2. Intermittent Reminders

Starting your day off on a positive note is a great place to start, but you should always try to continue this positive thinking throughout the rest of the day as well. Finding moments to recognize the beauty and the good, even if it's just a couple of seconds worth, can lead to a healthier mindset. Download the "I am" app or add calendar reminders with positive affirmations.

3. Meditation

Meditation can be extremely beneficial to enriching your life with positive energy. If you do not happen to be an expert on meditation yourself, or you have never done it before, find a youtube video or local class! You can even download apps from your phone- we like: Calm and Better Me.

4. Exercise

Exercise is very important to both your physical and mental health, make sure you schedule time throughout your day to get some exercise or play time in, by doing this you can help maintain a positive lifestyle. Even a quick 5 minute walk outside can do wonders!

5. Herbal Tea

Having something nice and warm to start your day can ensure positivity throughout the rest of it. Start your day with a soothing cup of herbal tea and think positive thoughts as you drink every sip. The combination of good tea and positive thinking can be very beneficial.

Finding the positives can be difficult at first, but over time it will begin to come naturally, and the benefits will make all of the struggles worthwhile.
