Positivity Breeds Success and Happiness

Do you often view your glass as being half full or half empty? Do you tend to focus more on your blessings or your problems? Your positivity (or negativity) is more than just a personality trait. It can influence your body, overall way of life, and health. You will live longer and be happier and healthier with a positive attitude toward life. Positive psychological surveys indicate that being positive and having an optimistic outlook toward life attracts positive things such as success and happiness. If you tend to see the world around you as being a warm, welcoming place, then you’ll tend to seek out the goodness in all things, even during the most trying of situations. Simply put, positive things happen to positive people.

Optimists believe they are accountable for good things and that positive things happen to positive people. If something bad comes instead, they tend to write it off as an isolated incident or something out of their control. With a positive attitude you see the bright side of life, become optimistic, and expect the best to happen. It is certainly a state of mind that is well worth developing.

A Positive Attitude Attracts Positive Things
Positivity helps you cope more easily with the daily life affairs. It brings optimism into your life, and makes it easier to shun worries and negativity. If you work happily and stay optimistic in every situation, you are more likely to succeed than if you feel that the work is a burden and that it will not yield any positive outcomes.

Staying optimistic, staying focused, and believing in oneself and in one’s work is what counts even more than the actual job itself. If you believe that no matter how hard you try, you just cannot complete the task at hand, you will never realize success despite possessing the potentiality to do so. However, if you believe that the job at hand can be accomplished no matter what, you will succeed the job role demands notwithstanding.

Positivity Attracts Good Health
There is a direct relationship between your thought life and your mood. Whereas negativity takes a toll on your body, positivity goes a long way in getting rid of depression, fatigue, sleeping disorders, anxiety, headaches and muscle tension. Moreover, a positive person who is generally happy with the state of things around him/her is much more safeguarded against conditions such as flu, common cold, and even cardiovascular disease.

Attracts Creativity and Respect
Moreover, positivity attracts creative thinking. Since positive individuals don’t view things as problems, they tend to find creative solutions to the obstacles that come up in their lives.
Furthermore, positivity will benefit you by bringing you more respect from others, and having more influence over other people. You may even find that individuals around you are starting to develop a positive attitude because positivity is something that is contagious.
Builds Better Relationships

According to positive psychologists, positive individuals are likely to have more luck in love than negative individuals. This is because people are more accepting of positive individuals, and optimistic people are more satisfied in their relationships because they concentrate on the good aspects rather than the bad. Moreover, positivists tend to work harder and more effectively at relationships.

John Gottman says, “Marriages are much more likely to succeed when the couple experiences a 5 to 1 ratio of positive to negative interactions whereas when the ratio approaches 1 to 1, marriages are more likely to end in divorce”.
Problems Disappear and Better Self-Esteem Sets In
With a positive attitude, the problems in your life will suddenly turn into opportunities that will allow you the ability to grow and learn. What is more, positivity will help boost your self-esteem and confidence. With a positive attitude, you'll begin believing in yourself and realizing that you are capable of doing great things.

Eliminates Stress
Being positive in everything that you do is the only sure way of beating stress. Since you think in a more positive way, you'll get rid of the stress from your life that is often triggered by negativity. Stress has been shown to be responsible for a host of health complications including depression, anxiety, stroke and cardiovascular disease.

Optimistic individuals tend to be less stressed, have better relationships, and perform better at work. If you are constantly depressed, it’s high time you develop a positive outlook towards life.
