DON’T FORCE YOURSELF

STRENGTHS AND FLAWS

SMILE

But remember: you don’t have to pretend to smile, that would do no good to anyone. A genuine smile originates from the deepest cores of your heart and peeks from in between your lips.

LITTLE THINGS

Yes, there is the unimaginably large crowd of people surrounding you, the roads, trains and marketplace; but to stay positive in life, it is crucial to have a positive attitude towards life. For this you should focus on finding happiness in little things; that fascinating little beetle striving to climb the branch of the spruce tree or those tiny rain droplets fall on the damp soil arising a tantalizing aroma. This is one of the most under-rated yet best ways to stay positive.

MUSICAL REMEDY

It is often said that your music playlist defines you and moreover, listening to your favourite music can significantly impact the entire course of your day. Put on those headphones while preparing for school or while going to work to get enchanted by some classical symphonies, funky music or motivational songs for staying positive.

UNDERSTAND MISERY

One of the best ways to stay positive is to witness and understand the agony and misery through which many people go through. Try visiting old age homes and orphanages, don’t sympathise with, rather understand their despair and be grateful for a much better life that you have been given. You’ll surely gain a positive outlook.
