On a daily basis life hits us straight in the face with challenges. Some we conquer easily, others can strike us down and have us feel sad. For that reason alone, I feel being around positive vibes can be helpful and necessary.
Still need convincing?
Then read on to see why I believe we should strive to surround ourselves with positive people.
Positivity breads creativity
If you were to pay attention in a group setting, you would come to realize how easy people can work together with little to no negativity. Creative juices flow and people tend to have more respect for one another.
You may also see that someone who normally has nothing to say, is actually the one coming up with all the ideas simply because they feel comfortable to express themselves.
It takes more muscle movements to frown, rather than smile!
So what else would I need to say in regards to this known fact? Work out your face by smiling and don't tax it or waste time frowning. Your smile is meant to be across your face and then leave the heavy lifting to other parts of your body on gym days!
Positive energy is contagious
All it takes is one person smiling at another. One person saying "hello" to another. One person asking "do you need any help with that" to another. These are a few examples on how the spread of positive vibes can start. If someone smiles at me, I will more than likely smile at the next person I see, causing them to do the same and so on. If I am walking across campus, around the office, or around the town and take time out of my day to ask someone how they are or if they need help, that also acts as a catalyst to the spread of positive vibes; it's easy.
Why the hell not?
Life is short. Live in the moment and have each moment be better than the last. Don't let the negativity of others keep you from having fun or simply enjoying yourself!
Now with all that being said I will be the first to admit that I have seen "Inside Out" and I know the basis of it all is that we are meant to create memories with all our emotions. I am not against that, and hell, I believe it that as well. All I am saying with this article is that sadness, anger, jealousy and strife happen, we cannot avoid them, but what we can do is allow ourselves to be happy for all the other times. Don't choose to stay in a negative state, express that feeling and them strive for joy!
