Positivity

Try to look at the positives and solutions in your situation rather than the negatives and problems.

Its easier to be positive under these circumstances:

• Being surrounded by positive people

• Focusing on the positive aspects of your situation

• Getting into the routine of checking in on yourself throughout the day

• Seeing failures and setbacks as learning opportunities

• Looking for the humour in situations

• Making affirmations (positive statements on yourself) and referring to them in times of stress/difficulty

Positivity leads to:

• A longer life

• Reduced risk of anxiety and depression

• Reduced risk of cardiovascular issues

• A better ability to deal with setbacks and stresses

• Better immunity

• Better resilience
