Regaining Positivity

 Some days it's sooo hard to be positive, to get that positivity back when it fails, when a careless remark causes your heart to break and all positive thoughts to flee. 

>Insert depressive thoughts here<

STOP!

Before depression overtakes, it's time to reach out. Seek out things or people  that make you happy or do some research on how to lift yourself up. 

I know depression is sometimes a comfort place, if that doesn't sound too weird, but it is something easy to wallow in. 

DON'T!

Step out of the swamp that is depression and negativity and shake yourself off and look around. Seek nature, friends, hobbies and if you don't feel like it...TOUGH! Do it anyway. Seek your path and take a chance on finding something to make you feel better. 

There are so many self help books out there a quick google search will pull up lots of suggestions. I think if you go this way you kind of need to try them on for size. Don't discount them just because one didn't speak to you. I've read/listened to a few and some resonated and others left me dry. 

One thing most books have in common is that old Law of Attraction rule. Believe it to be true and it will become true. Then replay, repeat and imagine it already happened. 

What is it you want? Insert here; 

I am happily ___________ my new ___________. 

Now fill in the blanks with "driving, living in, working,"  my new "car, house, job." 

I also think it helps to use words like "dream house" "Awesome car" and other positive words that mean something to you. 

Let's give it a try for a month. Everyday say your new reality. Several times a day. Make it a mantra.

So what's your wish? 

Tell it to the Universe or God or whatever you imagine the higher power or energy source  is out there. Say it everyday no matter how you're feeling. Say it out loud, or in your head or write it down and carry it with you. 

Let me know if it works.
