I think this is a great mantra to follow in order to speak more positively:
Before you speak, THINK:
T – is it True?
H – is it Helpful?
I – is it Inspiring?
N – is it Necessary?
K – is it Kind?
Gorgeous rose
I saw this flower when helping a friend move house and had to take a photo 🙂
Communicating in another language
I am looking forward to learning another language and using it to communicate with other people. Speaking and dreaming in a foreign language is an enlightening and uplifting experience.
Curiosity
On the flight I took today I sat near a baby called Willow. Willow was inquisitive and liked poking me in the nose. It was a joy to be around someone so inquisitive and curious 🙂
Stepping stones
An obstacle is often a stepping stone.
The above William Prescott quote reflects an excellent way to respond to challenges. Seeing obstacles not as hindrances but as steps to better things is a perfect application of a positive attitude.
Appreciating family
This morning I flew into my home town to see my family. So far I have spent time with my parents, niece and my almost 93 year old grandmother. I am grateful to have this opportunity.
Anticipation
Anticipating something good happening is exciting. I’m currently looking forward to a holiday very soon. Even though it will only be a short holiday, I’m still excited about it!
One small positive thought
On my way home from a run I passed a pharmacy with the follow uplifting message:
One small positive thought can change your whole day 🙂
What a great thought for the day 🙂
Be oneself
Accepting and acknowledging one’s true self assists greatly in maximising enjoyment of life. Being oneself allows one to live life to your maximum and not based on the whim of others. Live life to the max!
