Positive. Words. Impact.

How come words have such a big impact on our lives? We give so much weight to some words and we let them control our lives sometimes. Two words I am specifically thinking of are sad and happy. How much of our lives is defined by whether we are sad or happy? What in our lives determines if we are sad or happy? These are big questions I am not prepared to answer, because I believe everyone has a different answer to these questions. But I do wonder how much of a difference it would make in our lives if we used different words? What if instead of happy, we said we were excited about life, I love myself and others, or I am feeling great today. And instead of sad, we said, I am just not feeling like myself today, and that's okay. Now, I am not saying you can just choose not to be sad, what I am saying is you can recognize that you are sad and make en effort to change it. I hope I am not coming across as insensitive because I know those feelings are real. My main point is this, why not give weight to more positive and specific things? If you are happy, express what specifically you are happy about. More of that thing will come. If you are sad, that is normal and okay, but why are you sad and how can you experience happiness? We will get back what we give! So lets try and give mostly positive vibes so we can get positive vibes in return!

It is time for me to practice what I preach! I am experiencing joy, confidence, good relationships, and just having fun. I am also anxious but I am focusing more on the positive knowing I'll get more of it back!

This was kind of a random topic today, so I hope you got something out of it! Comment below some positive things we can say in addition to happy and sad. I would love to hear some more ideas! You guys are the best! Thanks for the read!

P.S. - Go and listen to Be Nice by the Black Eyed Peas. It pretty much expresses exactly how I feel about the this topic.

P.S.S. - This is just a random picture! Nothing of significance to me. Although I think it shows how powerful nature can be in our lives!
