When You’re Feeling Down, Look Up!

Did you know people with a positive attitude have a special ability? 

We’ve all heard of the “downward spiral,” that slippery slope many fall prey to when crisis comes and their ability to deal with whatever life throws their way goes out the window. It seems people who maintain a positive attitude have learned a special power to create an “upward spiral.”

Barbara Fredrickson, a positive psychology researcher at the University of North Carolina, suggests that positive emotions have the uncanny ability to “create improved psychological and physical well-being over time.”

It’s exactly what the Bible teaches! 

"A cheerful disposition is good for your health; gloom and doom leave you bone-tired." Proverbs 17:22 MSG

So when you notice you are heading toward a downward spiral, remember, the upward spiral is possible. When you’re feeling down, look up!

And think of these tips for a more positive attitude:

• Attitude Is Everything!!!

•  Cultivate an "I will not be denied mindset."

• “Don’t look to your weaknesses, look to your Strengths.” ~ Paul J. Meyer

• “Don’t look to your problems, look to your power.” ~ Paul J. Meyer
• Remember, you are important and needed.  Everyone you meet needs a smile and some loving words.
