I like to workout, usually run or bike-not only does it relieve stress but makes you feel better about yourself.

I bought a puppy. She is my inspiration, she is always happy to see me, she always wags her tail. She doesn’t know there is a recession and it’s my responsibility to give her the best life I can! My drive comes from that, my positivity comes from that – I am invincible making sure she is well looked after.
Know that what you do is for yourself and your loved ones!

I find exercise keeps me positive. I work in customer service and it gets stressful at times. I get two breaks and an hour lunch, during these times I go to the exercise room or just run up and down the steps a couple of time. When I’m done I feel ready to take on the world. Exercise is the ultimate drug, its 100% guaranteed to put you in a good mood.

In order to stay positive, I have stopped listening to the negative news. There is a complete news media black out in my life. If it is truly important, I will hear about it. I focus my time on the positive things and actions I can take in my life including reading, learning, creating and enjoying living.

Ways to stay positive in negative times.

Make it a great day or not – the choice is yours! We all have the choice to be positive and negative and there are situations that call for both. there are ways; however, to be negative, but in a positive way. I hate to give someone bad news, so I do my best to be there for the person for as long as I possibly can. Listen as you would want someone to listen to you.

I surround myself with my favorite quotes, which often lift my spirits throughout the day.

don’t forget to laugh at yourself. I think that’s probably my favorite. We are all human and when we finally realize that, laughing at ourselves takes a lot of the negativity out of situations (especially problems that we created).

Make the effort to FORGIVE!

I’m a “quotes” junkie. I post my favorite motivational quotes, articles, blog clippings, etc. all around me…tucked under the clear plastic desk blotter, on the bulletin board, in books on the side of my desk. When I start to feel like I’m slipping, I look around, find one that suits the moment and focus on finding something positive. There is ALWAYS a bright side. As a customer service professional I know that my attitude conveys to my team. If it’s a bad one, we’re all in trouble! As Zig Ziglar says, “If you see someone without a smile, give him yours.”

The best way for me to stay positive is to constantly remind myself of all the wonderful blessing that life has bestowed upon me. Since I spend a great deal of my time on my computer (at work and home), my desktop background is a collage of images (family, friends, places) and phrases the hold deep meaning for me. I also have a copy of that image in the front of my paper notebook I carry to meetings. It is easy to be distracted by all the negative things that go on around us. So we need to constantly remind ourselves of the postive things that never get any air time.
