As we are enjoying enduring happiness and peace on here...

....perhaps it's time to reflect on how to maintain positivity.

1. Find the optimistic viewpoint in a negative situation.
2. Cultivate and live in a positive environment.
3. Go slowly.
4. Don’t make a mountain out of a molehill.
5. Don’t let vague fears hold you back from doing what you want.
6. Add value and positivity to someone else’s life.
7. Exercise regularly and eat and sleep well.
8. Learn to take criticism in a healthy way.
9. If something still gets under your skin then know what to do.
10. Start your day in a positive way.

These points are discussed in a helpful way in far more detail at

Now possibly you are thinking, 'so-and-so poster should look at this or that point' but that kind of thinking misses the point of being positive. Start with ourselves and remember when you point a finger at someone....(actually I can't remember what it goes on to say, but I'm sure it is something positive)

Great advice - for everyone, and especially those who have confessed that they are actively looking to turn over a new leaf.
Cool beans.

"To be able to stay positive it is essential to have influences in your life that support you and lift you up instead of dragging you down.

So carefully consider what you let into your mind."

If I were an expert and I'm certainly not claiming to be, then you are making a very good apprentice.

Gentlemen, gentlemen!

Check out point 6 above! Expanded here for your edification and delight

6. Add value and positivity to someone else’s life.

What you send out you tend to get back from the world and the people in it.

Not from everyone. And not every time.

But what you send out there matters a whole lot.

What you give them and how you treat them is what you’ll get back. And they way you treat others and how you think of them also tend to have a big effect on how you treat and think about yourself.

So give value and spread the positivity by for example:

Helping out. Lend a hand when moving.
Just listening. Sometimes people don’t want any direct help. They just want someone to be there fully and listening as they vent for a little while.
Boosting the mood. Smile. Give hugs when appropriate. Play uplifting music when hanging out with a friend or suggest an inspiring movie for your movie night. Or encourage when someone has had a bad day or are going through a tough time.

I don't get that, I've not sent any nasty photoshops to anyone?

Point 4 comes to your aid here:

'Breathe. After you have disrupted the thoughts by shouting stop sit down and just be still. Breathe with your belly and focus on just your in-breaths and out-breaths for a minute or two to calm your mind and body down.'

That's not the answer I was looking for, you said what you send out you get back, the deeper question would be to ask what I sent out to get that back, not how I dealt with it, don't you think?
