Day 1: Take the Positive from the Negative

Most people focus on the negativity and therefore create more negativity in their lives. Once you are able to take positivity from negativity, more positivity will enter your life. So, how do you do it? Start by asking yourself, "What is the opposite side to my belief?" Then ask, "Would thinking that way make me feel better?" If yes, then ask yourself, "What is preventing me from thinking that way?" Once you determine what prevents you from thinking positively, you'll be able to address it and overcome it. From that point forward, you will be able to use the same questions to take positivity from any negative situation.

By focusing on positivity you are welcoming more of it into your life. Even if you do not believe that, you are still creating a momentarily positive state of mind for yourself. You get what you want is the easiest way to understand this. The more you think about positivity, the stronger you desire it. So remember, when you focus on positivity on a regular basis it will regularly enter and improve your life.

Now that you've welcome immense positivity in your life, it's important for you to share it with others. Talk with people, laugh at the humor, and remember the positive points. Share stories that made you laugh, smile, and happy; not ones that were unpleasant. Remember the events which impacted your life in a positive way. Most importantly, be enthusiastic when you're telling a story and when you're listening to one. When you show excitement for someone else's stories, it creates even more excitement for that person, and also for yourself!

This will allow you to share positivity on levels you did not expect. When you surround yourself with good hearted people, it brings out the best in both parties. Good hearted people will further your happiness, excitement, and laughter. Having trouble finding one? Just look for the person that encourages, cares, and appreciates without reason and without fail.

You will inevitably become a good hearted person after time. This transition produces a positive attitude in you that was unseen before. It enables you to laugh when something does not go as planned; as opposed to becoming angry or upset. You begin to laugh more because an understanding is gained that the more you laugh, the happier you become.

You will find yourself laughing at the negative because you understand the principles of where to focus your attention. You understand negativity is just a test and with your laughter and positive outlook, you will pass with flying colors. The true character of an individual is shown when that person is faced with a challenge. By laughing at it, you show the positive person which defines you.

By now, you have probably figured out additional ways to laugh more and enjoy your life. A great way is to laugh as much as possible. Laugh when you feel the urge, when something goes wrong, when something funny happens. Before you realize, your life will be filled with laughter, positivity, and happiness.
