Bambi does not want the evening to end without highlighting the “Positive Thinking Day”, which is meant “to promote the power of positivity and the impact this simple act can have on your life” ((https://tinyurl.com/2ard799c).
Thinking positively is a conscious choice to embrace an optimistic mindset in which we treat ourselves with utmost kindness (like we would treat a friend), nurturing enriching thoughts and fostering our continuous well-being. To achieve the latter, we can indulge in both self-compassion and even self-forgiveness, as needed. We can practice gratitude, which involves a conscious effort to put the emphasis on the goodness, that is all the positive experiences in our lives. We can also nurture supportive relationships while liberating ourselves from unhealthy ones. Alternatively, we can manage difficult relationships by setting more efficient boundaries to protect our well-being. We can set goals for ourselves and enjoy achieving them in baby steps. Essentially, we create and keep fostering a “positive” mindset in our own ways.
This being said, there are moments in our life journeys where we may need a pat on the back when it comes to positivity. We might search for encouraging sayings or look for inspiration by a meaningful person from our family or social circle. We may take time to consult, self-reflect, read a book, nap, listen to music, sing, exercise, dance, spend time in nature, practice mindfulness, pray, cook, and/or clean the house.
What strategies do you like to use to cultivate your positive thinking? Is music part of them? If so, and if you wish, please share with Bambi your favourite song. You may wish to do it as a comment on this blog or more privately. As far as she is concerned, she will leave you now with a few uplifting songs [at least for her : )]. Happy Positive Thinking Day!
