Being positive in our life

Hi rsa. I can relate to this situation. We all have moments that we lose confidence and can't cheer up coz life can't be smooth all the time. What I do is to give myself a little time for a great movie, some music or go shopping, or just smell my favorite pefume, Chanel. These can really cheer me up and then I got to thinking that anyway there are still so many beautiful things in this world. I remember last time I was overpressured at work and then I got sick. I gave myself a week holiday, just relax completely. Take care, dear.

I try to remember how many good things has happened in my life - both deep in the past and in my most recent experiences - or simply by having a good job :D I think being thankful makes everybody's attitude positive. That's so strange about life I guess, there is ALWAYS something to be thankful for, even if it's only for the cold water you had to drink in the morning. Thanks for the response on my discussion!

That is my problem too. My remedy is everymorning I say a little prayer to God to make this day to be very productive, for me to be not useless. For me to be very optimistic. It is hard to be very positive with things much more if we experience more bad things than good, but we have too. Life is cruel, full of challenges, although sometimes we don't understand and sometimes its unfair, all i can say is when we have a chance to breath everyday we wake up, everytime we can see everything around us, everytime we hear and feel we have to be very positive that there are good things that will come to us. Sometimes God give us things that we need, but we did not know it because we are focused on the things that we wanted, that is why we see things not clearly. Oh My God,i can believe I am saying this things...i have to believe also...I am weird?

Its hard to think the positive way especially if your in sorrow,but what I do is I go out,do my garden and I compare my life to them how happy they are.Also I have to go shop even window shopping only just to ease my boredom .Its normal to feel that way .

I can relate to that situation. Don't let your heart be troubled, stop and smell the roses. Okay this is what I do, if the negative thought try to get thru to me, I do the bubble bath and listen to relaxing music. Then daydreaming of positive things in life, and prayer is a big help too!!. Get your funny bone going, don't watch drama or bad news on tv, watch funny shows, or do things you enjoy!!!!!!!! oh have you heard of the song "Happy" by Natasha Bedingfield. try to listen to it!!!!

Well I think our perspective determines how we view our life .Consequently I belive if we are thankful for the things we have and see each disappointment as a minor obstacle which will make us stronger then we should generally have a positive outlook.Ithink we normally get bogged down with life when we set unrealistic expectation and fail to be thankful for what we have

Yes it is difficult.But one has to be.Yo have to always look forward in life forgetting the past bad memories & cherishing the good ones.

I remember a line from a gospel song which goes, "Count your blessings name them one by one, Count your blessings see what God has done..." It's hard sometimes to thing of the positive things as our world is always showing us the bad things. Killings and wars are more newsworthy than progress in a peace keeping process, the scandals of politicians and celebrities are overly exposed than a selfless sacrifice of a an ordinary person and even neighborhood gossip are bordering on cruelties and abuse. We can not go away with bad things but we have the choose to just focus always on the positive light of every circumstances. This does not mean we ignore the bad parts, we instead should accept them but train ourselves to see beyond what is bad. If at night you can not see the moon, thank God for the stars. If there are no stars, you should still be grateful that you have the night. And in circumstances where you can no longer see the beauty of the night, thank God that you have him to guide and lead you.
