How Is Practical Positivity Truly Possible in This Crazy World?
Practical positivity is more about approach than anything else.
It is way too easy, currently, to see the world as being on fire.
The news media is all about doom and gloom — because that sells. And so, we’re inundated and bombarded by an onslaught of negative, bad news.
Take your pick — partisan politics, the situation in the Ukraine, COVID, Brexit, teacher and care-worker shortages, supply-chain issues, and more. None of this is pleasant.
For a long time now, I’ve been preaching the positivity gospel, so to speak. Not in a toxic, ignore-and-disregard-all-negativity way. More in a you-get-to-choose way.
While I still believe that positivity is empowering and can do a lot of good — I have a new appreciation for it in a different way. Practical positivity is not seeking to find and/or create positivity to change your life. It’s much more about your overall approach to life, the Universe, and everything.
The role of mindfulness
Allow me to get right to the heart of the matter. Each and every one of us is empowered with the ability to be mindful.
