10 Ways to Maintain a Positive Life!

Hey y'all! It's May 2nd and to continue with May's Maintenance Madness, I'm here to tell you the 10 ways to maintain a positive life!

We all have those days where you just feel completely....BLAHHHHH! BUT don't let everyday be one of those days! Here are my top 10 ways to maintain a positive life!


1. Meditate, Yoga, or Prayer.
An excellent way to start off your morning is by doing some sort of meditation or prayer, and YOGA! Yoga is a very calming, relaxing experience, and everyone could use a little bit of Yoga in their lives! If you're interested in trying Yoga for yourself check out these links!

2. Smile!
On bad days I know smiling is probably the last thing you want to do, but smiling can effect your attitude (and the attitude of others around you!) Smiling, even when you're upset or feeling down, can instantly give you that little...push that you need not to just give up. Try it! Next time you're feeling down...just smile at someone!

3. Surround yourself with positive people.
Constantly having negative people around you is most definitely not a good way to keep your attitude up and positive. If your friends don't lift you up and make you happy-maybe you should spend a little less time around them OR try to encourage them and spread some positivity!

4. Read positive quotes and stories.
Filling your head with positivity is bound to have an effect on your attitude. Try reading a positive quote or story everyday!

5. Make a list of things you're grateful for.
Everyday make a list of 5 different things that you're thankful for. Here, I'll start: My health, my bestfriend, my adorable bunny rabbit, my home, and a trip to Cali/Baltimore this summer. Tell me about what you're thankful for!

6. Help someone.
This one is big. Helping others is a GIANT step towards a happier, more positive attitude. Just do something nice for someone else; hold a door, smile, compliment them, pay for someone's lunch, etc.

7. Take a walk.
When you're feeling upset or stressed-walk it out. Just take a walk. Just a simple 10 minute walk outside. It will clear your mind, calm you down, and plus...fresh air can't ever hurt!

8. Make a list of things that you love about yourself.
Love yourself. I know, I know...this one is a toughy, but it's not impossible. You have to remind yourself that you are an AWESOME human being! Make a list of the top 10 things you love about yourself. It can be anything from: the color of your eyes to the size of your feet. lol It doesn't matter, whatever you love about yourself just write it down.


9. Take a break.
You're human, okay? Give yourself a well needed break. Take a bubble bath, take a drive, go for a swim. Anything-just relax and regroup.

10. Take pictures.
I find that taking pictures-especially of things that you find beautiful or things that you love is an excellent way to maintain a positive attitude. Invest in a camera (even one of those cheap disposable ones), take lots of pictures, print them out, put them in a collage or scrapbook or on your wall, etc.
