#### The Power of Positivity

The key to utilizing the power of positivity is by making concrete changes through daily action. Though it can be a challenge to retrain your mind, with these 5 tips to utilize the power of positivity in your life, you will be on the way to experiencing the full and happy life you’ve always dreamed of having.

#### 1) Focus On What You Can Control

It’s important to not get caught up on the things in life that you cannot control. When manifesting positivity in your life, it’s easy to get caught up on all the stressful things in life that seem to bombard you on a daily basis. Resist the temptation to walk down this negative path. You are only in control of yourself and your own thoughts and this is a liberating truth. You can stop worrying about the people and circumstances in the world that you can’t control. All you are responsible for is yourself and, once you realize this, you’ve taken your first step towards manifesting positivity in your life.

#### 2) Love Yourself First

The second action you can take to utilize the power of positivity in your life is to choose to love yourself first. Though you might have been told that focusing on yourself is selfish, this is a fallacy that is perpetuated to keep you in the same negative cycles by negative people. Just because you love yourself first doesn’t mean you are a bad person, it just means you are unwilling to put yourself negative circumstances that don’t work in your best interest. When you live this way, people aren’t able to take advantage of you as easily, which is going to upset and frustrate some of the people in your life who have become accustomed to using you for their own benefit. Take this opportunity to single out who loves you and who wants to use you. When you wake up in the morning, let the first words you say to yourself be, “I love you.” Make it a habit, no matter how strange it seems, and keep doing it. You will be shocked at how your life starts to change around you in beautiful ways, starting with how you treat yourself.

#### 3) Look For Excuses to Be Happy

Remember how you looked for all the things in life that made you miserable in order to validate your old thought patterns? “Life isn’t fair! And this is why!” you’d think to yourself. It’s time to change these thoughts and, instead, focus on what makes you happy. There are going to be situations and people in life that aren’t ideal and, while you don’t control these situations, you do control how you react to them. Try to see the silver lining or, if that doesn’t work, imagine that these situations make you stronger and help you to learn something valuable that you needed to know. When you are in control of your body and your thoughts and choose to utilize the power of positivity in yourself you are able to let go of all that holds you back, including situations where things aren’t going your way.

#### 4) Look For Opportunities and Don’t Make Excuses

People are often conditioned to see the reasons why they shouldn’t do something, instead of the reasons why they should. Learn to say, “Yes!” to new opportunities. Don’t hold yourself back from a new experience simply because you’re afraid. Fear is a fantastic tool in certain circumstances, but when planning out your life, err towards new, exciting and positive situations. Change can be hard, but don’t let fear hold you back from doing the things you really need to do in life. Believe in yourself and your power to utilize the power of positivity (or to make the best out of any circumstance) and understand that you have all the power in your life, for good or for bad.

#### 5) Move Towards Your True Happiness

It’s up to you to take the steps to utilize the power of positivity in your life. You can read a million books or anecdotes, but if you don’t make the decision to change, nothing is going to happen. If you hate your job, tell yourself that you will have a new, fantastic job that you love and keep your mind and heart open to new circumstances. Chances are, you’ve already been presented with new circumstances, but fear and indecision held you back. Make a commitment to yourself to move towards your true happiness and to be open to new, positive experiences–even if they frighten you. Take steps, every single day, towards your goals, and utilize the power of positivity to keep you on track.

> Utilizing the power of positivity in your life is a choice you have to make every day. There will be days where you slip up and that is okay. What’s important is to remember that you have the power to change your thoughts about any given circumstance–so choose to think positively. With time and practice, you’ll begin to notice that the things that would have bothered you in the past no longer bother you anymore and that more situations seem to come up that bring about positive occurrences and people, and that’s when you’ll know that you’re utilizing the power of positivity. With these 5 tips to utilize the power of positivity in your life, you will soon be on the path to taking control of your thoughts and your life and be able to bring out the best in yourself every single day.
