THE SECRETS OF POSITIVITY

First of all, let us find out what positivity is all about. Positivity has different emotional connotations for different people. Positivity can mean love, strength, trust, kindness, happiness and many more.

Psychological researchers have defined psychology as “The scientific study of what makes life worth living”. Life is as series of chapters; some are good, some are bad and others foster mixed feelings and emotions. The term is a bit flowery, I feel. It does not carry much weight like other words of value, like ethics, reverence, adaptable. You can never measure positivity.  It is a state of mind.

Modern research has proved that positivity can take you places. It is not short-term but can have lifelong implications. People can actually see the effects of a positive mind, from your attitude towards life, your behavior towards the people from various strata of life, your interpersonal relationships and most importantly work ethics.

How do we incorporate positivity in our lives?

I will share real life scenarios here. These are things we all know, but do not practice.

• Meditate – It is better said and done. In the fast life today, it is quite difficult, if not impossible to find a quiet zone to meditate. People, who meditate on a daily basis, develop a positive mindset and find a purpose in life.
• Make life a fun activity – “All work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy.” We are all aware of this. Take some time out to enjoy. It can be anything as playing with your dog or any lonely stray, which needs your love, as much. Play with your child. Act like you are a kid. That is Role Play.
• Listen – Yes, we all do it. However, we do it passively. Listen to what other people have to say, listen to nature’s sounds like chirping of the birds, the wind, the rain, the clouds. You can even listen to good, soulful music.
• Exercise – We all know this, but few practice. Exercising regularly, releases endorphins. These hormones keep you energized and enhance your mood for a good number of hours.
• Smile – It does not cost much and it is free, Moreover, researchers say we utilize more number of muscles to frown than to smile.

We all have heard about the saying “Positive attracts Positive”. That is the Law of the Universe.  Let us practice this today, tomorrow and beyond. Stay positive, stay healthy.
