I know this sounds very hard to apply in life but it has a hidden positive effect which can literally change your life and you’ll feel it!
Ups and Downs are very normal and matter of fact it’s necessary to keep emotional balance.
If you’re sad today and something good happens tomorrow then you’ll get happy but if you’re already happy today and something good happens tomorrow you’ll stay neutral, thus ups and downs are important.
It can be hard to stay positive all the time. Whether it’s a bad day at work, a fight with a loved one, or just feeling down in the dumps, it can be tough to see the bright side of things. But why is it so hard to stay positive in life?
One reason we struggle with positivity is that our brains are wired to focus on negative experiences. This is known as the “negativity bias,” and it’s a survival mechanism that helped our ancestors avoid danger. However, in today’s world, this bias can lead to us dwelling on negative thoughts and feelings, making it difficult to see the good in our lives.
Another reason we struggle with positivity is the constant bombardment of negative news and information. With 24-hour news cycles and social media, it’s easy to become overwhelmed by negativity and despair. This constant exposure can make it feel like the world is a much darker and more dangerous place than it actually is.

Another factor that can make it hard to stay positive is the influence of those around us. If we surround ourselves with people who are negative and cynical, it can be contagious. Their negativity can rub off on us, making it even harder to find the silver lining in life.
How to stay positive in life?
Here are a few tips to help you stay positive in life:
- Practice gratitude: Make a habit of writing down or sharing things you’re thankful for each day. It can be as simple as “I’m grateful for my morning cup of coffee” or “I’m grateful for my partner’s support.”
- Surround yourself with positive people: Spend time with people who uplift and inspire you, rather than those who bring you down.
- Limit exposure to negative news: Try to limit your intake of negative news, especially before bedtime. It can help to read or watch something positive before going to sleep.
- Find a hobby: Engage in an activity that you love and that brings you joy. It can be anything from playing an instrument to gardening.
- Practice mindfulness: Mindfulness can help us to focus on the present moment and find peace in the midst of chaos.
Staying positive in life can be challenging, but it’s not impossible. By understanding the reasons why we struggle with positivity and implementing strategies to counteract them, we can learn to see the bright side of things even in difficult times. Remember, positivity is a choice, and it’s up to you to choose to see the good in life.
