2 8 Steps to experience more positive living

 Positive living is a conscious choice. You have to commit yourself

to a new way of life. Here are some tips for adding some positive
influence to your life:
3 1. Find a happy place

 Create a place in your mind that is your ideal paradise. It can be a

vision of a future life, a memory of a great holiday or, any
thought/image which quickly floods your mind and body with
positivity. When you feel stressed or down just go to your happy
place, relax there and enjoy it.
4 2. Indulge yourself in a hobby

 The simplest way to experience more positive living is to spend

more time doing the things that you love. When life gets hectic,
many people make the major mistake of cutting back on the things
which they enjoy.
5 3. Exercise

 Most people think of exercise solely as a physical activity. This is

far from the truth. Exercise is just as important for your mental
health as it is for your physical wellbeing. A regular exercise
regime helps you to release stress from your body while filling
your body and mind with positive feelings, confidence and a sense
of achievement.
6 4. Find affirmations

 Affirmations are sayings, verses or other short pieces that have a

positive influence. For some people, they are a verse from the
Bible or even a line from a greeting card. Affirmations are a
conscious effort to make you think positively. Using an affirmation
daily can perk up your attitude in an instant.
7 5. Exploring new things

 When you are overcome by negativity, it is easy to avoid trying

new things because you fear the unknown. But, if you think about
it logically, you are experiencing negativity because your current
experiences are not working for you.
8 6. Do not walk away from a challenge

 Challenges bring growth, opportunity and new experiences.

Without challenges, your life would stagnate. Some people like to
think that they can maintain the status quo but life doesn’t work
that way. If you try to stand still, you will eventually begin to move
backwards as life passes you by.
9 7. Ignore the rules

 We often allow ourselves to be restricted by rules, formal or

informal. Before you get caught up on rules, ask yourself ‘Whose
rules are these?’ Often, the rules that hold us back are the rules
that others enforce upon us. They are entitled to live life as they
see fit and, set rules for their own life; however, they have no right
to force their rules upon you.
10 8. Visualise

 Your imagination is a wonderful thing. Your subconscious mind

does not know the difference between reality and imagination.
When you imagine yourself living the life of your dreams, your
subconscious mind thinks that you really are living that life and,
you get the feelings of positivity and pleasure that come from
living the life of your dreams. In addition, you will become more
confident in your ability to create that life as your subconscious
mind will be convinced that you have already done it.
