KESo excited to use audio from the greatest show that ever existed.
Staying positive is a daily challenge, and I think I’ve gotten pretty good at it. (Ya know, I’ve gone thru some crappy stuff, divorce, break ups, death of my husband- so I’ve had lots of practice) Here’s what I’m doing now to try to stay positive.
1. Making an active and conscious decision to limit the news and the toxic political environment. I always find out the more I consume the more upset and angry I get. At this point in my life, I’d rather be slightly more ill-informed and happy! I’m trying to put only healthy, non-toxic stuff in my body and in my brain. (Lots of happy and positive Olympics 2024 consumption going on over here!)
2. I know that anything negative that has happened to me in my life has happened FOR me, and not TO me. This helps me feel more empowered and know that life lessons will come from my trials and tribulations. Plus, this helps to not have a victim mentality. When you are living in victimhood, it is incredibly easy to feel negative and un-empowered. It’s never “why me!?”
3. I’m trying to worry less. Worrying has stolen my joy for so many years. And it’s truly gotten me nowhere. Bob would always say to me, “you have to stop worrying! You’re going to give yourself a disease!” And it’s so true, worry can have such a negative effect on our health. I have truly noticed lately since I’ve worked really hard at trying to worry less, and take care of my mental health, my body, etc., I have felt so much better and more positive. It’s not easy, you just have to know that whatever challenges come your way you will handle it when the time arrives. Try not to overthink it before anything actually even happens. It’s just such a waste of our time, sanity, and health.
