4 Ways to Stay Positive and End 2015 RIGHT

Talking about ways to stay positive may feel a bit redundant, and a lot like what I have been talking about the last few weeks.

And some of it is, but the thing is, it bears repeating. These are the things that we (yes, me too) pass off as simple, so we feel like they really are not all that effective. They are.

So consider this a recap and end 2015 with a bang. Start 2016 on the right foot with some new habits and an outlook that will help you stay positive.

Discover Yourself and Find the Hidden Positive Spirituality in Your Life

Yes, this actually has a lot to do with finding a way to stay positive.

Spirituality means a lot of things to a lot of people, think of this in what ever way relates to you, it refers to almost any kind of meaningful activity.

Do you ever feel lost, with no idea where your life is headed? Do you wish you could find a sense of direction, meaning and purpose for your life?

Thankfully, you can discover the passion inside of you and experience the truly fulfilling life you were born to live.

To truly experience this rich, fulfilling life that allows you to stay positive, you must become familiar with the dreams and aspirations that lie deep within your heart.

For some, these values and hopes have been buried underneath a life of obligation, stress, and worry.

Today, you can begin to chart a new path by embracing the hidden positive spirituality within yourself, and learn to stay positive in the process.

Try these tips when you’re ready to take your life to the next level: 

1. Make time for yourself.
   
   In as little as a few minutes each day, you can revitalize your mood and energy level.Simply take a few minutes today to pamper yourself. If you lack the time, remember that you must feel energized before you have the energy to give back to others.

   Find simple pleasures that give you rest and make you smile.

   Relax in a warm bubble bath. Read a few pages of the book you’ve wanted to read for so long.

   Take time away from the craziness and pamper yourself.

   In as little as five or ten minutes, you’ll emerge from your “me” time with renewed vigor and a fresh perspective.

2. Try prayer, meditation, or yoga.
   
   When you’re stressed, the skill of quieting your mind and hearing the still small voice inside of you is vital.Prayer and meditation takes you away from the world and into your inner sanctuary for a few brief moments.With practice, you can activate your sense of peace anywhere and in any stressful circumstance.

   Similarly, yoga seeks to connect you with the spiritual part of who you are.

   Through body movements and exploration of the body/mind connection, you gain a greater sense of who you are and where you’re going.

3. Choose to see the good.
   

   A healthy mind is the key to a happy life.

   Every situation offers a unique set of challenges and blessings.

   When you’re faced with a challenging situation, ask yourself, “What’s great about this?”

   Shift your focus to the blessings, and focus on finding solutions, instead of lamenting over the problems.

   When you do, you’ll find peace.

4. Take a vacation.
   

   Sometimes, a change of perspective can only come from a change of scenery.

   A few days of relaxation or pursuing hobbies that you’re passionate about can invigorate your life and help you regain a positive perspective.

   You can take an unforgettable vacation in as little as a few hours. Visit your city’s bureau of tourism for ideas on attractions that you may have missed right in your hometown.

   You may only have to travel a small distance for a memory that will last a lifetime and a perspective that fuels you toward the peace you deserve.

Perhaps you’ve read this type of stuff a thousand times. I know that you question why everyone is rehashing all these things that really seem a bit foolish in relation to what you are trying to accomplish.

I promise that you are seeing this over and over because it really is the key to what we feel is missing.

Don’t discount the simple path, things don’t have to be as hard as we have come to believe they should be.
