Accentuate The Positive

Positive and negative events in life coexist. Don't take me wrong, I'm not telling you to blatantly ignore the negative that goes around, like if you only lived in a world of fairly tales.

However, many times we forget to look at the positive and we don't realize the many good things in our lives, because we grow used to them, or we live in automatic pilot.

We also let ourselves be influenced by the bad news in the media: the disasters, wars and threats to life in oh so many ways. That information alone already puts you in a fearing mode.

I personally choose to accentuate the positive. In doing so, I enjoy a better life, full of pleasing coincidences and positive events, happier and calmer, always advancing.

A good reason to accentuate the positive

Paying attention to the positive makes you feel good. It makes you be grateful and happier, as you notice the positive things in your life.

Besides, when you accentuate the positive, you also start attracting more positive events, people and things to your life (find more information of how this happens in the law of attraction).

When to accentuate the positive?

Here are a few scenarios of when to pay attention to the positive:

• On moments of serendipity that make you get something you wanted. For instance, say you are unemployed and talking briefly to a neighbour she tells you of this position at a place she knows, and you end up having the job, which fits perfectly with what you wanted. Celebrate the serendipity and be thankful for it.

• Give importance to the positive little things that happen to you daily, like a stranger being kind to you, or simply that someone wants to spend time with you. Our day is full of brief positive moments, but sometimes we ignore them because they are not 'big enough'. They are actually very important.

• Take time to be on your own, look at your current state in life and realize the blessings that you have. Take the time to accentuate the positive things that you already have in your life.

Emphasizing the positive in your life has the main advantage that it makes you feel good. Do it for a boost of positive energy or whenever you feel bad and want to change your mood.
