Your mind can be friend or foe! The real secret to pulling up and out of any bad moment is gabbing on to a positive anchor. A positive anchor is something you heard or saw at the very beginning of your day that was uplifting, it's something that you can grasp on to mentally when a bad moment or negative statement is sent in your direction.
I am well aware that I cannot control those around me that I do not have influence over, such as co-workers or others I may run into in my daily travels. But, I do have influence over my house hold and my children. I made it clear to them and all that enter in to my humble abode, that negativity will not be tolerated. I of course, told them why it is not allowed, I told them our home is our refuge, a place to be safe and happy and to build each other up. By doing this we all gain strength, so that when we do venture out into a negative world we will be even that much mentally prepared and stronger.
I am so set on keeping my mind in a positive mode/direction that I visit positive and motivating websites every morning. These websites help me tremendously! They really put me in the right place mentally! My days have been awesome, especially when compared to the days without filling my mind with inspiration.
You are what you dwell on.
I also try to be thankful for what I have and don't have. Which is a whole other topic.
Giving to someone in need is also a very important tactic to staying positive, it gives a boost of inspiration like no other. Give your time or money to someone in need and you will feel like a million bucks. A positive mindset can make a potentially bad day an awesome day. It does not take a rocket scientist to learn how to pump great ideas and thought patterns into your mind, it just takes repetition. Put good things into your mind every morning and watch how your day goes. Most of all associate and model yourself after those people who you would like to be like.
